The story
At Umm No Solo Tapas, chef Alex García runs the show from behind the stoves. “La aventura es levantarse cada día y pasear sin otro rumbo que experimentar la felicidad en lo que hago,” he writes — the adventure is getting up each day and walking with no other direction than to find happiness in what he does. That happiness, he says, is found “entre los fogones” — among the burners.
The name says it all: “No solo tapas” — not just tapas. The menu here invites you to let your appetite take over. “Tu apetito se apoderará de ti y querrás probar todos nuestros platos,” the website promises. And judging by the buzz, diners do exactly that, watching plates pass by for other tables and wishing they had ordered them too.
The atmosphere leans into the Spanish tradition of lively conversation — “tertulia con los amigos, familia o compañeros” — making it a place where food and drink are enjoyed in good company, long into the evening. With outdoor seating, air conditioning, and a bar, it suits everything from a quick lunch to a long dinner.
Located on Calle Marqués de Vallejo in Logroño, the restaurant has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a nod to the quality and consistency of what Alex García is doing here. It’s a straightforward, welcoming spot in the heart of La Rioja that proves you don’t need a white tablecloth to make an impression.
