10 Best Spanish Restaurants in Singapore to Satisfy Your Cravings [2024]

As Singaporeans, we pride ourselves as food-lovers, given the vibrant dining scene here. However, we’re so spoilt for choice, it’s hard to easily pick out a restaurant from the menu when we actually want to try out something new. Some of us tend to gravitate towards comfort food or food that is convenient for us to grab.

If you want to extend your palate, Spanish food is definitely a cuisine you want to try. Beyond the tasty tapas and crowd-sized pans of paella, Spanish cuisine is a melting pot of tantalizing flavours, spices, seafood, meats and veggies.

While Singapore isn’t exactly overrun with Spanish restaurants, we have boiled down a list of the 10 best Spanish restaurants in Singapore for you to pile on your plate and try.

Hope you’re hungry! 

1. My Little Spanish Place (Bukit Timah)

My Little Spanish Place boasts a full-fledged menu of Spanish dishes and desserts and definitely pays tribute to its Spanish roots. What’s really unique is its cosy ambience – the restaurant architecture is inspired by the ‘meson’, a typical home-style restaurant often found in Spanish regions. 

Their menus differ slightly accordingly to the outlets and timing, so do call them in advance to see what each outlet specialises in. A pro-tip is to accompany your choice of food with some great wine, and you can always ask the friendly staff for a wine recommendation to pair with your food.

2. Esquina

At Esquina, it’s as if you have been transported right into the heart of Spain without a passport. Their cuisine showcases Spanish and Catalan flavours, helmed by Barcelona-born Head Chef Carlos Montobbio.

3. Pura Brasa

It’s both a treat to the eyes and stomach at Pura Brasa. The place is pretty modern with an open kitchen concept for customers to savour a unique dining experience. 

The menu showcases a wide, well-plated variety of dishes: from tapas to its burgers, they all come with a characteristic flavour from grilled cooking.

With prompt and friendly service from their staff, this is a fantastic place to dine in for both lunch and dinner.

4. Kulto

If you’re looking for an elevated Spanish gastronomy experience at affordable pricing, Kulto is the place to dine in at. Born and bred in Rioja, Spain, Head Chef José Alonso brings his brand of culinary alchemy and heritage to Kulto.

When you come to dine here, don trousers with an elasticated waistband because your tummy will absolutely need more room as you help yourself to those delicious extra servings.
