apas on Oak would like to thank all our fabulous customers as we have just celebrated one year in business! It was not an easy time to enter the restaurant industry but as a recent addition to the Oak Bay culinary community we hope to continue to provide a tasty global tapas experience and we appreciate the

creation of the menu, which is based on his travels and a love for fine food, shared plates and great wines. He has a fabulous team including James Halliday, Trinity Turnbull, Jason Lee and Mahsa Farghadani, all of whom have been with him since day one. Tapas on Oak has its own street patio for outdoor dining
and is also perfectly designed for small events where you can arrange a 3 to 7 course lunch or dinner. Reservations are recommended and are easy to do by calling the team on 250-590-8881 … See you at Tapas on Oak !
