** Please note that Lil' Chef is temporarily closed. Our sister restaurant, Big Chef Steakhouse, remains open. For more information please visit bigchefsteakhouse.com **

Formerly branded as Tapas On The Bay, Lil' Chef takes the 'little dishes from around the world' that Tapas was known for, and adds prime seafood, along with a well-selected lineup of fine wines, sangrias and other pitcher drinks.

Located on the waterfront, behind Big Chef Steakhouse, the funky, Spanish-styled setting is perfect for lunch, dinner or enjoying the breeze anytime. We're right next to a well-lit, secure dinghy dock, and offer free wi-fi for working or checking in with folks at home.

Lovely small tapas restaurant with excellent food, service, and open air setting on the bay. Friday night music with Rob Zi and Phyness (sax and vocals) is an experience not to be missed. Perfect evening!

Delicate cuisine with full flavours from the island and the sea, a delightful relaxed setting which includes the feel of being near the sea in the marina, and the chance to try a number of shared dishes because of the Tapas style. We return every time we visit the island, about twice a year, and love it.

I highly recommend dinner here. The atmosphere is beautiful, as you gaze into the waters while hearing live music. The food was also divine. My partner and I shared 5 tapas and were impressed with the creativity, presentation, and most importantly, the taste. The bruschetta and salmon lollipops were simply divine. It's also adult friendly, so it has a more relaxed and/or romantic vibe.

Live music Friday night!!! Amazing atmosphere and environment. Food presentation is outstanding and spare ribs fall right off the bone. Great mixture of cuisines Asian and Spanish flare. summer pre-fixed menu is an outstanding deal!!! Can barely eat dessert after your entree. This tapas place will be an upcoming restaurant!!!
