Yannis & Daddy is a family run Spanish restaurant at 8 High Street in Liverpool. Founder and head chef Adrian created the restaurant after working with chefs in Burgos, bringing the flavours and sociable dining culture of Spain to a warm Wavertree setting.
The tapas menu encourages sharing, with pan tumaca, tortilla de patatas, croquettes and patatas bravas among the familiar choices. Padrón peppers and mixed olives suit a lighter start, while meatballs, pork ribs and a Spanish charcuterie and cheese board add more substantial flavours.
Seafood appears in garlic prawns, Galician style octopus, mussels and calamari, giving groups plenty of scope to mix land and sea across the table. Salads introduce fresh vegetables, cheese and herbs, and vegan dishes are clearly marked in parts of the menu.
Sangria and other drinks complement the relaxed Spanish atmosphere, while table reservations and online ordering offer different ways to enjoy the food. Guests with allergies should discuss the current menu with staff because shellfish, dairy, gluten, nuts and other allergens feature across the tapas selection.
Address: 8 High Street, Liverpool L15 8HG, England
