Absolutely loved this place! We love Spanish food and are often disappointed as it’s never like in Spain… But here, we really felt like in a local restaurant in Spain. Lovely atmosphere, super warm, dynamic and smiling service. All the tapas were delicious and the cocktails were tasty and generous. We surely will be back! ¡Muchisimas gracias!

My visit to hispania was absolutely memorable. The ambience was absolutely lovely—intimate, and perfect for a special occasion . Took my friend to hispania to celebrate his birthday, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. The squid ink, gambas, and cheesecake were absolutely to die for. To top it off, we were greeted with complimentary champagne at the start, which was such a thoughtful and celebratory touch.
