Set within Christchurch Central’s bustling Riverside Market, Castro's Tapas and Bar channels the easygoing rhythm of Spain. Warm hospitality leads the way - a lively room of convivial chatter, cosy corners for two and the capacity to host a crowd when the occasion calls. A wide balcony area stretches the scene, catching the market’s hum while keeping things relaxed.
The kitchen keeps faith with Spanish tradition, moving from tapas to paella with confidence. Plates arrive built for sharing and conversation, guided by sunny Mediterranean flavours, a lick of smoke, bright citrus and the comfort of slow-cooked depths, without fuss or fanfare. It’s unhurried food designed to graze, perfect for long lunches as much as for late-evening nibbling.
At the bar, a diverse selection of drinks sets the tone for every visit, matching the menu’s generous spirit. Whether you’re marking a milestone with a group or savouring a quiet midweek date, guests find an easy rhythm here.
Book a table and let the market’s energy set the tempo - one more taste, one more bite and the night dances on!
