If there’s one place that captures the joy of Spanish dining, it’s PEPS. This brand-new wine and tapas bar in Oud-West is buzzing from the moment you walk in - warm lights, the hum of conversations, and that unmistakable energy that makes you want to stay for hours.
The menu is all about sharing: delicious tapas, comforting classics, and a great selection of wines. We especially loved the La Muchacha red - rich, smooth, and just perfect alongside a table full of plates to share.
Owner Pepijn and his team make you feel instantly at home. Whether you’re stopping by for a few glasses of wine at the bar, or settling in for a long dinner with friends, PEPS is the kind of place where everyone belongs.
The interior? Think cozy corners, warm tones, and plenty of lively bar seats. Perfect for groups, dates, or a spontaneous after-work drink.
In short: great vibes, great wine, great people. Great after dinner weekend spot!
