Pronunciation: [tˈɑːpə] (IPA) 
Tapa, a Spanish word, refers to a small dish or snack typically eaten with drinks. In other cultures, the same concept is often called mezze, tapas-style, or hors-d'oeuvres.

Some popular examples of tapas are croquettes, olives, patatas bravas, and grilled octopus. Other synonyms for tapas include antipasto, appetizers, canapes, dips, finger foods, nibbles, and starters. These small dishes are often shared amongst a group and accompanied by drinks such as wine, beer, or a cocktail.
