7 Spanish Restaurants in Singapore You’ve Got to Visit

The excitement surrounding Spanish restaurants in Singapore is at fever pitch right now and it’s easy to see why.

Stylish decor, vibrant atmospheres, delicious sharing plates – the list goes on.

Now, as Singapore foodies ourselves, we know all about Binomio’s sublime Spanish menus that show meat, seafood and vegetables an equal amount of love.

However, not all Spanish eateries in Singapore are cut from the same cloth. The energetic bistro BAR.CELONA on Duxton Hill is a classic example.

What we’re trying to say is, whether it’s the humble patatas bravas or a colourful paella you’re after, you can count on Singapore’s restaurant scene to deliver it all.

So why not take the bull by the horns this weekend and discover one of these seven Spanish spots serving up a faultless five-star fiesta.
