It's at a corner of a little street of Murcia that you will find a cute little restaurant called "La Tapadera".
The place is rather small so I recommend booking a table or sitting outside where a few tables have been placed.
Inside, the room is pleasant and well decorated but the barstools and the lack of space are a bit off-putting.
The first time I saw this restaurant, I thought it was the usual place where you can spend a good time with your friends, eating the typical mini-dishes that Spanish people call "tapas": fried squids, tortillas, slices of bread garnished with various types pf toppings etc...But this restaurant is not like the others.
The chef is incredibly creative and come up with outstanding ideas to renew the famous tapas.
Personally, I enjoy very much the concept of mini-dishes that allows to nibble at different kind of tasty and colorful creations.
At this stage, we can talk about "art" rather than "food" or "cookery".
Artichoke minutely cut to shelter a savory avocado cream, aubergine slices layered with goat cheese, raw tuna carpaccio inspired by the Japanese cooking...The menu is a delight for the eyes and for the palate.
My favorite is a bar made of pork and rolled in popcorn powder that gives a crusty touch with a melting heart.
Needless to say that I enjoyed every bit with relish.
And for those who have a sweet tooth, the desserts are equally surprising and outstandingly savory.
Finally, about the price, it will all depend on the quantity of tapas you wish to order.
They cost from 2€ to 5€ each and you can take an average of 5 tapas overall.
From my point of view, the price is reasonable.
The quality and freshness is undeniable and of course, everything is home-made so for me, it's definitely a place that is worth a visit and I recommend it to locals as well as tourists who pass by our beautiful city.
