Tapas & Dine Restaurant
The platters are the absolute highlight – beautifully presented, generously portioned, and bursting with flavour. Whether you’re sharing with friends or indulging solo, they are a must-try! Fantastic food, warm ambiance, and great service make Rustiq a top choice.
We had an amazing time at Rustiq! The food was excellent, so many choices for tapas. There were 5 of us and we ordered one of the platters and then 10 tapas dishes to share and everything was fantastic! The portion sizes were also generous. The service was warm and friendly, it was my mum's Birthday and they'd put up some tasteful birthday decorations around our table as well as a birthday candle with her dessert. Would definitely go again and thoroughly recommend a meal at Rustiq!
I had the pleasure of dining at Rustiq, and it was an experience to remember. The highlight for me was the Smoked Salmon Salad. It’s a dish that feels light yet satisfying, ideal for any time of the day. The ambiance is charming and cozy, with a rustic touch that makes you want to linger. The staff were warm and attentive, ensuring everything was just right. If you’re looking for fresh, vibrant flavors, Rustiq is the place to be!
I had the pleasure of dining at Rustiq Restaurant recently, and it was an incredible experience. The ambiance is beautifully rustic and perfect for a relaxed evening. The platter selection is simply outstanding, and the Spanish Platter stole the show! It was a perfect combination of authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and generous portions. The staff were welcoming and attentive, adding a personal touch to the meal. Whether you're in the mood for sharing small plates or indulging in something unique, Rustiq is the place to be. Highly recommended!
We celebrated my husband’s birthday, and I had mentioned it in my reservation. They decorated the table with balloons and festive touches, which was a lovely surprise. We ordered tapas: beef carpaccio, lamb skewers, patatas bravas, prawns with chili and garlic, grilled octopus, fried calamari, and a bottle of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo red wine. Everything was delicious, though the calamari could have been better. Other than that, we really enjoyed the meal. The service was excellent, and I want to especially thank Mr. Mehmet Ali for his attentiveness. The atmosphere was wonderful, with soft jazz music and charming décor. We will definitely return!
Popped in here randomly on Saturday, as we were walking past. It looked good. Turns out it tasted even better ! Plumped for the seafood platter, which was an array of deliciousness. The squid and prawns were perfectly cooked, which makes a refreshing change. Service was calm and polite. Recommended.
Recommend the seafood platter with bits of everything that is tempting. The helpings are of very decent size. We ordered what we thought would satiate three but they turned up enough for four. The food is delicious and fresh. Next time we will come on a festive occasion for which we think the restaurant has a suitable deco. Lovely place.
What a great little restaurant for Mediterranean cuisine! We came here for a Valentines Day dinner and arrived around 6pm when it was still a bit quiet. Service was initially quick and very friendly, but unfortunately as it became busier the service became really slow. We ended up waiting over half an hour for desserts and by that point wished we hadn't ordered any. When it finally arrived it was divine though - especially the Tiramisu! The fillet mignon ordered medium arrived rare, but was still very delicious. Overall we're looking forward to visiting again, but will likely plan another visit on a less busy evening. To avoid the wait.
Group of five had a couple of sharing platters and some sides. Everything was delicious and beautiful presentation. Very nice wine and cosy atmosphere.
The food was lovely and great value. The restaurant was quiet, but we still had a good time. Vegetarian options: If you are a dedicated vegetarian, you will need to ask them to omit the parmesan cheese thats in a couple of the dishes (as its not a vegetarian cheese).
The sea bass fillet was cooked to perfection, featuring a beautifully crisp skin that added a delightful crunch. The tender, flaky meat beneath was full of flavor, making every bite a true delight.
Ive eaten here twice now and thoroughly enjoyed both times. Highly reccomended.
The menu is a testament to culinary excellence, with standout dishes like the ribeye steak and grilled salmon steaks stealing the spotlight. The ribeye steak is perfectly cooked to your preference, tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The grilled salmon steaks are equally impressive, with a delicate balance of smoky char and freshness that makes every bite heavenly.
The salmon carpaccio was a delightful start to the meal thinly sliced, melt-in-your-mouth salmon topped with a zesty citrus dressing and delicate herbs. The freshness of the fish shone through, and the flavors were perfectly balanced, making it a refreshing and elegant appetizer.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rustiq Restaurant, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming ambiance that set the tone for a memorable dining experience. The menu is a delightful fusion of Mediterranean flavors, showcasing fresh and high-quality ingredients. I tried the lamb tagine, which was cooked to perfection, with tender meat and a rich, flavorful sauce. The appetizers were equally impressive, especially the hummus so creamy and delicious! The service deserves a special mention. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest has a great experience. The restaurant s interior is both chic and cozy, making it a perfect spot for anything from a casual meal to a special celebration. I highly recommend Rustiq for anyone looking to enjoy amazing food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. Ill definitely be back soon!
Food, Staff, ambience all fantastic. Made an incredible effort for my Wife s birthday which was very much appreciated. Thank you to you all.
Amazing food and great service! Lovely staff, will definitely be returning!
Fantastic food really delicious tapas, great service and such a lovely atmosphere. Great value for a special night out. Thankyou
I recently went to Rustiq for the second time, and it was even better than I remembered. My favorite dish has to be the prawns tempura, they are unexpectedly delicious, crispy but tender, light, and full of flavour. The desserts are also a highlight, many of them made in-house, which really shows in the taste. The atmosphere is cozy and lively, and the staff are super friendly and professional, making the whole experience top-notch. Honestly, it s a 5-star spot and then some!
Fantastic place!!!!
Rustiq is a true treasure! The Mediterranean flavors were absolutely incredible. We ll definitely be back!
Enjoyed an evening of delightful tapas perfectly paired with a great selection of wines. The flavors were outstanding, and the staff s recommendations were spot on. A must-visit!
Lovely place - great atmosphere and the food is lovely. The staff were brilliant - especially Chevas, he was brilliant! Would definitely recommend to anyone. Had a great afternoon/evening there.
I had a fantastic dining experience at Rustiq! From the beautifully rustic decor to the delightful dishes, every detail was thoughtfully crafted. The menu offered a great variety, and the meal exceeded my expectations in taste and presentation. The service was exceptional the team went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I can t wait to return!
Great atmosphere, friendly staff and great food, highly recommended! Carbonara, Spaghetti with meatballs and the Alfredo were all superb!
Absolutely amazing the food was so good and the atmosphere so relaxing. Staff are so kind. I would definitely recommend this place its a little gem on the taste buds so go in and dont walk past. Definitely felt like I was in a different country having a magical adventure. Thank you so much.
Nice Mediterranean food
I wasnt sure about another Tapas place in Leamington however, the food, service and relaxed atmosphere was very good. Its nice to see some twists on traditional Tapas and lovely homemade desserts. Ill definitely be going back.
Enjoyed another excellent meal at Rustiq. We had our usual seafood platter accompanied by delicious roasted vegetables. Lovely comfotable and relaxing surroundings.
Rustiq has become our go-to spot for Mediterranean food. The Spanish influence in the dishes is clear, and every bite feels like a trip to the coast! The seafood is top-notch, and the wine pairing is always spot on. Can t wait to come back!
I visited Rustiq Restaurants in Leamington Spa yesterday, and I must say, it was an overall wonderful experience. The place was bustling with customers, which is always a good sign, but it did mean we had to wait a bit longer for our food. However, the wait was absolutely worth it! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable while we waited. They were always on hand to check if we needed anything, which made the experience even better. Now, the food what can I say? It was phenomenal! Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. You can tell that a lot of care and attention goes into their cooking. Despite the initial wait, the combination of excellent service and outstanding food made it a memorable dining experience. I ll definitely be returning to Rustiq and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Leamington Spa.
Had a really delicious meal at Rustiq. I ordered steak and it was cooked perfectly. Nice atmosphere, enough of a buzz but not noisy. Would definitely return. They also didnt automatically kick us out when our time was up like other local restaurants so we had a nice relaxed start to our evening and got to sample some post-dinner cocktails.
If you love Mediterranean food, Rustiq is the place to be. The restaurant excels with its diverse range of tapas that capture the essence of Spanish cuisine. The hot tapas, such as the Smoked Salmon and Grilled Octopus, are flavorful and expertly prepared. The cold tapas, including the Sea Bass Marine, are refreshing and delightful. The atmosphere is charming, and the service is both friendly and efficient. Rustiq is a true culinary gem in Leamington Spa!
Really enjoyable tapas. Really friendly staff. Well worth a visit.
Although the food looked good it did lack in flavour.
Absolutely dreadful service. Food decent but for a table of 6 on a Tuesday night walking in at 6:30 with a booked table absolutely no excuse for how bad this was
Splendid food and service. The ribeye steak which what I ordered was cooked to my preference and seasoned very well.
We had a great night out with friends. Calamari, seafood food platter , fillet mignon were excellent.Service staff was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend .
We went here today and loved the place. The Bruschetta with chicken, mozerella and tomato sauce was amazing, and we gave a personal thanks to the chef. We sat outside, which is in a lovely area, the inside is also stunning. You definitely get your moneys worth here. The people that work here are very warm and friendly, well be back very soon. Thank you so much :-) Kid-friendliness: Kids meals are included on the menu
Parking: We had an amazing experience at the Rustiq restaurant tonight.The food was absolutely delicious, especially the fish platter. Staff were very attentive and friendly, definitely I would go back again. Recommended dishes

Had the pleasure of visiting Rustiq late one Sunday evening after trying to find somewhere to eat in Leamington. Although quiet at the time, the place is nicely decorated inside, great menu, professional & quick service with superb tasting food. Will definitely be back again soon. Vegetarian options: Choices available.
Incredible food, and kind service. They provided gluten free options and their menu was easy to follow. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options
Although there are many Good restaurants in Leamington spa this is one you should really visit when we visited the food and staff were excellent definitely be going again
It was excellent - we will be back again and again. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and good portion. Well done!!
Quiet place for an early lunch. Lovely food.
Had a lovely time here!
Beautiful restaurant with great food and service. We ve been twice with young children and the staff were always attentive and tolerating! The food is always fresh and tastes delicious. The seafood platter is a favourite as well as the pistachio chocolate cake! The food went down too fast to take any pictures!
Incredible food! We have been to a lot of restaurants around the world but this really impressed us. The food was so tasty, hot, and given with excellent service. A hidden gem that I would recommend to all!!
My family and I went to Rustiq on Saturday February 24 as it was my husband s birthday. Our waitress Christina was so lovely. We d never been before but we will definitely come back. The food was excellent - we had 10 tapas plates, a mix of hot and cold. The octopus was a stand out as was the baba ganoush. My two kids had a tiramisu for dessert which was delicious. It s a very cool place, great atmosphere, cool vibe and Christina was brilliant answering any questions and just a great waitress. This is an amazing place and we loved it. Totally recommended
Not bad , maybe wait till people finish starter before cooking mains as chicken was dry , it was refunded which was ok but future reference dont cook until finished starters apart from that it was amazing place .
Inside the restaurant is lovely. It s big and when we went was busy so the atmosphere was really good. The food is lovely and you get a lot of it. It s reasonably priced and has a really big choice. The only thing that lets this place down is the constant asking if we had finished and can our plates be taken away. Some food was actually taken away so they had to bring some more back. Just felt a bit under pressure to eat quickly. I would come back as the food was so nice and I would recommend.
Amazing tapas, lovely restaurant to spend an evening in. So close to the Parade - a real gem
Had an amazing late lunch for 2! We were served by Ella a lovely member of the wait staff time team who was patient and the perfect amount of chatty. Decided to go for tapas options and found that 4 plates and 2 cocktails made the perfect order. Really brilliant food with some incredible options available. Definitely worth a try and definitely returning! Vegetarian options: Incredible vegetable dishes Dietary restrictions: All dietary information is laid out on the menu.
Excellent food, great atmosphere and brilliant service. The octopus was amazing! We ll be back again!
Fantastic!!!
Never noticed this place before because it s a bit tucked away on the corner so easy to miss . But love this place. Food was fresh, healthy and very tasty. Very nice atmosphere. Nice vibrant decor. Kids menu. Clean. Good service. I will be back.
Went in on a whim and was not disappointed.the food was spot on with excellent service the food took a little while, but then you knew that it was freshly cooked and very tasty....Im looking forward to going again....many thanks for a lovely evening.
Loved it
Sea Food Spaghetti
Fantastic, I spent Valentines Day with my wife, our daughter had recommended it to us and everything was wonderful, exquisite food, tasty sauces to dip bread in, some will understand. The service is very attentive and friendly, without hesitation we will go again.
Visited Rustiq for the first time today, the food and service was very good and we will definitely be visiting again.
Amazing food & cocktails. Mediterranean vibes with nice music. Very cosy
Absolutely immaculate interior, the food was well presented and tasted great. Would recommend for a night out in Leamington Spa.
Excellent dinner chosen from varied and interesting menu. Very good atmosphere and service. Recommended.
Food very dry...too much salad not enough food..
Nice and cozy restaurant with a variety of foods and beverages to choose from. I had an amazing time with my friends there and the food was really delicious and flavourful. Would love to visit again!!! Special kudos to the chefs and staff!!!
You need to update your website to 10 stars. Seriously! Menu, presentation, flavours service, the best I ve every had in Leamington Spa and I ve lived here for 58 years!
Beautiful food and extremely tasty. Well worth a visit. Great interior as well.
The hidden gem of Leamington Spa. Such a warm welcome from the moment i walked through the door, great relaxed atmosphere, staff were polite and friendly, fantastic service throughout and the food was amazing. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Not rushed to order and nothing was too much trouble. The Menu has something for everyone and I ordered 3 dishes as i couldnt decide and was not disappointed. Will definitely be going back. This place is the place to go!
really nice octopus and wine but the burrata salad was served with mozzarella rather than burrata which was disappointing (and wasnt a very nice mozzarella either) . The bread it came with was quite nice though
Perfect for any special occasion, the dishes are cooked with fresh ingredients and include a range of flavors.
One of the best dinners I had!
The design of the restaurant was lovely and quaint inside.
Nice surroundings but very poor food. Camembert arrived cold and not melted. Burratta salad was mozzarella and not Burratta Musells we re re heated. We did express our complaints which went unheard. I really don t see the point in asking how the food was when your not really interested. £61 for re heated food isn t my kind of lunch I m afraid.
The service at Rustiq deserves special recognition. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their craft.
Great new Tapas bar. Saturday night with wife and friends really enjoyed the evening
Incredible food, great service and lovely atmosphere. My son and I ordered tapas, my husband ordered steak and my daughter ordered from the kids menu - but ate our food instead! I particularly enjoyed the seafood dishes. We ll definitely be back!
Excellent food and service, would highly recommend. Came for a friends birthday, table of 8, and was well looked after.
Ive enjoyed everything. Nice staff, good food (enough as well), good location and pleasant ambiance.... Whats not to like Kid-friendliness: My kid is quite picky and the staff was friendly and helpful in this matter.
Immaculate, friendly, good service, great food. Definitely recommend
I went for a dinner with my friends and we all loved the food! The place is beautiful, the food is tasty and well served ! The waiters and the service was amazing !!definitely coming back
Food was amazing. Tasty, well cooked and generous portions. Atmosphere was also good and service was spot on. Will come back and recommend to my friends.
Delicious tapas! Recommend the cocktails and seafood platter
Just took our first visit to this lovely restaurant after walking past it the last few months, will definitely be back the service was great and the owner even took the time to talk about the dishes and how they were cooked and his specialty dishes. Ordered food that I would not normally have ordered and it was delicious.
Well worth a visit, older Leamingtonions will recall this place used to be Rhubarb I had the sea bass and my daughter had bruschetta. Good portion sizes and a good drinks menu. Not cheap but not overpriced. Friendly staff and a relaxing environment. Recommended
Beautiful tasty food, ambiance and service. We will be back!
Wonderful food and fantastic atmosphere. The servers cant do enough for you. Thank you for a lovely evening, will definitely return soon!
Slow service and not great quality food
As a seafood enthusiast, I have high standards for scallops, and Rustiq surpassed them with flying colors. The presentation alone was a work of art. The first bite was nothing short of heaven tender and sweet, with a delicate sear that added a delightful contrast in texture. The accompanying sauce, a symphony of flavors, enhanced the natural sweetness of the scallops without overpowering them. Each bite was a revelation, leaving me craving more.
To start, the ambiance of Rustiq is warm and inviting, with rustic decor that makes you feel right at home. The dimly lit dining area exudes an intimate and cozy atmosphere, perfect for sharing small plates of exquisite food with friends or loved ones. The friendly and attentive staff added to the overall welcoming vibe, making us feel like honored guests from the moment we arrived.
The mastery of various cooking techniques was evident in every seafood dish. Whether it was the perfectly seared prawns or the precise timing in poaching the salmon, each preparation showcased a high level of culinary expertise. Whether youre a seafood aficionado or simply looking to indulge in ocean-inspired delights, Rustiq is a top-notch choice.
The choice of sides and accompaniments for the hot tapas was impeccable. The patatas bravas were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, a perfect foil for the rich, savory flavors of the tapas. Dining at Rustiq was a memorable experience!
Classy restaurant. Delicate food. Deserts to die for! Veli, the owner, is such a gentleman. Food : 5/5
What a fabulous restaurant. The food is very high quality. The staff are so welcoming. The decor is sophisticated and stunning, and without loud music! The owner Vili just makes it a great experience. Highly recommended.
Lovely, tasty food.
Visited for a birthday meal. Very kind attentive, friendly staff. Good menu choice good prices.
Great food and service. Loved it and will be back.
Great to see they have tweaked the menu. The new tapas menu is really good, highly recommend the prawn tempura & fillet mignon. And great service Food : 5/5
My friend arrived before me and ordered a Moka, said it was awful. I asked for a double shot Moka and received a weak laté with no taste of chocolate. Its obvious by the excessive temperature that theyre clueless about making coffee...sorry but it was rubbish.
it was great evening with beloved friends. food was fantastic
Great service polite friendly staff, plenty of choice of food and beverages on the menu. Definitely recommend the tapas menu..excellently presented and very tasty.. Good quality food and reasonably priced.. Food : 5/5
