We believe that good food is best enjoyed with good friends, and at its essence is the nostalgia of a special moment in time, or the creation of a new memory with loved ones. Matadora Tapas is located in the heart of Victoria BC’s Historic Chinatown at 559 Fisgard Street. Authentic Spanish tapas, great cocktails, a vast and curated Spanish & local vermouth selection, wines, and premium conservas Our menu is a collective of inspirations from many specific moments that we experienced during our extensive travels through the Iberian Peninsula. Matadora Tapas was first established in 2020. We are a proud Winner of a Yam Magazine Best Restaurant Award. We are mother & daughter, women owned and operated by Veerle Peeters and Vanessa Davies. We believe that good food and drinks are best enjoyed with good friends, and at its essence is the nostalgia of a special moment in time. Vermouth culture is a big part of Spain, with “La Hora del Vermut” being widely celebrated, a time in the afternoon where locals enjoy a vermut on ice, alone, or with soda, along with a little snack of the pickled variety. Vermouth is a fortified wine that is so much more than your basic martini mix in, with many botanicals and base wines adding to the complexity and different flavour profiles based on region and tradition. To enjoy them on their own, or as part of one of our flights (Victoria’s First Vermut Flight!), really showcases the intricacies of each different bottle. We are proud of our vast, curated and constantly evolving vermouth list, and we love creating cocktails that truly showcase the flavours of the vermouths, along with an equally vast and curated gin selection. At Matadora, we use only the finest quality and carefully curated ingredients, many of which we import directly from Spain to create a premium and authentic Spanish experience. We source remaining ingredients as locally as possible We’ve returned many times to Spain since that first trip, to hone our Spanish culinary skills with cooking classes and exclusive winery tours, and continue to create new memories and inspiration in what has been a true adventure so far. When you step through the doors of Matadora Tapas, you have arrived in Spain! https://www.matadora.ca/menus daily 0.75 2026-02-24 https://www.matadora.ca/cateringandparties daily 0.75 2022-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f83755268f5ab59f5f25ba2/1629253805073-T26CNM3HQKQ85OXN58OV/BoardFull1.jpeg Catering & Parties - Pintxo Parties & Catering Make your next event one to remember with our custom Pintxo Parties, a delicious array of Spanish creations, served the Basque way, on bread! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f83755268f5ab59f5f25ba2/1629253753292-XEP4RYC7C1NKCZW7HWNZ/Shop.jpeg Catering & Parties - Parties and Special Events Book out Matadora Tapas for your next special event!
