La Siesta Description

Welcome to Andalusia at La Siesta, a tapas bar straight out of southern Spain by Isaac Ye (Tres Perros) and Chef Sergio Moreno (previously of Commune Social) – who is taking it back to his Andalusian Spanish roots, cooking the food he knows and loves. 

La Siesta isn’t a restaurant per se, but rather a casual ‘bar de tapas’ – an everyday pre-dinner hangout for an aperitivo cocktail and snack. That’s because dinner for the Spanish takes place around 11pm, with the hours preceding that spent sipping jerez, sharing plates of tapas and catching up on the latest comings and goings with whoever happens to be passing by – the exact vibe emulated at La Siesta.

The idea is not to create something innovative and unheard of before, rather, it’s the opposite. La Siesta is the bustling neighborhood tapas bar found on every street corner in Spain, just transplanted onto our very own Shanxi Bei Lu. It’s a taste of Spanish hospitality that Shanghai’s been craving.
