Festive Lunches at Tabanco by Ambiente
£16.95pp
Christmas at Tabanco is made for sharing with rustic flavours, good company and plenty of Spanish cheer.
Step inside this festive season and you’ll find a cosy, welcoming space glowing with fairy lights, filled with chatter, clinking glasses and the spirit of Andalucía.
Our Festive Lunch Fiesta Menu is the perfect lighter option for midday celebrations for parties of 8 or more. Begin with bread and olives, then enjoy a spread of hearty seasonal tapas, all served for the whole table to share. Just as you’d find in a traditional tabanco. It’s a relaxed, flavour-filled way to celebrate Christmas with a Spanish twist.
So whether you’re gathering close friends, sneaking out of the office for a festive lunch or planning a daytime family get-together, Tabanco offers a slice of Spain in the heart of York. Raise a glass, share a table of tapas and make this Christmas one to remember.
Our Festive Lunch Fiesta menu is priced at £16.95pp and is available Monday to Friday between 11.30am and 3pm from 21st November 2025 through to 31st December 2025.
