In principle, you can describe Spanish cuisine in your own words. For example, gazpacho - cold tomato soup, tortilla - something like an omelet with potatoes, and paella - something like pilaf, but with chicken and seafood. But keep in mind, if you start cooking the above, then you will get a Spanish dish in the Russian version. This kitchen needs to be loved! It is not difficult, but believe me, do it not at home, but somewhere in a cafe. And in which, now you will find out ...
Rating of the best Spanish restaurants in Moscow
- Gastropub "Pub Lo Picasso." The joint project of the Ginza Project and Alexander Rappoport is located at Slavyanskaya sq., 2.

El asador
The restaurant, which occupied the mansion building on Bolshaya Ordynka, is the only one in the capital that holds the honorary title "Sidrerii". The main drink here is St. Anton natural fermentation based on apples near Moscow, prepared according to Basque technology. Tastes are different: from classic to blackcurrant and cherry with a candy aftertaste.
On the ground floor there is a bar area - an ideal place for a quick lunch and friendly gatherings. Pleasant background music relaxes and tunes in communication. Here you can order inexpensive snacks, and if desired, a dish from the main menu.
The Spanish restaurant in Moscow with live music is located on the top floor and welcomes guests with an ideal table setting and elegant interior. The main pride is the Horno de Lena clay oven. It is there that they cook the institution's signature dishes: a stewed milk goat, a lamb and a pig. Only 75 seats.
On the third floor there is a VIP room with a balcony - an ideal place for a romantic date. In summer, a porch with a capacity of up to 70 people opens. Here you can spend a pleasant evening in a circle close to people or a small celebration.
El Asador regularly hosts flamenco days, a guitar festival and many other interesting shows, and every Friday guests enjoy live music.
Work mode:
- Monday to Thursday and Saturday-Sunday - 12: 00-00: 00;
- on Friday - 12: 00-02: 00.
Tapas & Pintxos Bar
You can try Spanish food in Moscow in the food court, located on the fifth floor of Tsvetnoy. Pablo Vicari, the chef of the Michelin-starred restaurant Elkano, and the winner of several European tapas competitions, patronizes the restaurant. He comes to the capital 3 times a year to update the menu, but, according to regular visitors, the team copes well even in his absence.
The goal of Tapas & Pintxos Bar is to introduce people to the cuisine of Northern Spain. By the way, Pablo Vicari has a talent to avoid the use of sanctioned products, while not violating the Spanish principle of layering different tastes. For example, herring is served with pickled pepper and shrimp, and the amorphousness of cheese cream is emphasized by the sweetness of fresh raspberries. In addition, visiting a restaurant can not avoid two things:
- Paella, packed full of tiger prawns and chicken for 1,500 rubles (for 3 persons).
- Cheesecake from a Spanish grandmother (that's what the menu says) for 350 rubles. What can I say, the Abuela chef was a craftswoman in terms of confectionery.
Opening hours: Monday to Thursday and Sunday - from 12:00 to midnight; on Fridays and Saturdays - from 12:00 to 23:00.
Pub Lo Picasso
Todo lo que puedas imaginar es real (everything you can imagine is real) - it’s this welcome phrase that will become the best characteristic of what you should expect in this establishment. The meat dishes in the restaurant of Spanish cuisine in Moscow "Pub Lo Picasso" are presented with regional details and an encyclopedic scope - Madrid casido for 840 rubles, gypsy stew with piglet for 350 rubles or bean soup with beef ribs for 400 rubles. However, it is worth warning: in the menu, some positions of dishes are described so colorfully that they can shock especially sensitive vegetarians.
Cuban chef Roberto Hacomino has a monumental and ascetic manner of cooking meat. He knows for sure: the natural taste and smell of smoke from alder wood, a cast-iron frying pan and generously poured wine will work no worse than spices and sauces.
The concept of the restaurant is based on a creative approach to the national culinary traditions of Spain and their slightly ironic perception. It was this specificity that was inherent in the famous artist, whose lithographs adorn the walls of the main hall.
Opening hours: daily, from 12:00 to 00:00.
Lizarran
Today, under this name, there is not only a restaurant serving Spanish cuisine in Moscow, but also 230 more establishments around the world.
In the capital, Lizarran is overseen by chef Jorge de ngel Moliner, who has successfully published a book on how he lives in Russia. In addition to a few pages of tapas and pinchos, the menu includes as many as 6 varieties of paella, including Arros del Senoret (960 p.) With shrimp, paprika pepper, monkfish and cuttlefish. A dish prepared according to the Basque recipe, and at home is a curiosity, what can we say about Russia.
Other Spanish rarities are presented with such clarity that when you get to know them (for example, manchego cheeses, tetilla and requesop), the question arises - where did they get all this in the capital?
Opening hours: daily, from 10:00 to 23:00.
Tapas Marbella
In Moscow, Spanish restaurants are presented in two places: in the Evolution tower and in the Shuvalovsky complex. The advantage of the first is the presence of a grill and a hosper. But this is not about that. “Marbella” is the only place in the capital where tapas are served according to the present scenario, that is, you first select and have a bite, and then present the skewers and the final score is determined by their number.
Guests, judging by the reviews, like everything - from the quality of service to the kitchen. But there is one drawback - the price. According to the site, all chefs undergo training in Spain. Apparently, the cost of training is added to the bill. Going here, remember: you can’t eat dinner for less than 2,000 rubles.
Opening hours: Mon-Fri - from 8 am to midnight, on weekends - 12:00 to 00:00.
AQ Kitchen
This Spanish restaurant in Moscow is owned by Adrian Ketglass. After tasting home classics at Doce Uvas and avant-garde at Cipoillino, he finally decided to open his own institution. But the genes can’t get anywhere, therefore, in the author’s presentation, especially attentive visitors noticed Moiorkinsky roots: here there are squid with nut sauce for 690 rubles, cod with brandy for 800 rubles and open ravioli for 700 rubles.
Closer to summer AQ promises to update tapas-sets. Bonnuelo rolls and a refreshing gazpacho appear on the menu. Each weekend, they will cook a large paella and invite flamenco dancers.
Schedule: daily from 12:00 to 23:00.
"Proviant. Food & Food »
This restaurant of Spanish cuisine in Moscow has opened within the walls of the architectural complex of historical food stores (hence the name).
While the menu is replete with a full range of Iberian dishes. Here is a Gallic octopus for 590 rubles, a chicken with a fabad for 450 rubles and 4 types of paella - black, vegetable, sea and Valencian.
A distinctive feature of Proviant. Food & Food consists of inexpensive house wines and quite real sangria.
Opening hours: daily from 10 am to midnight.
"North South"
Completes today's story about the restaurants of Spanish cuisine in Moscow, the brainchild of the StandartArt hotel, which exactly follows the course indicated in the title. Here a meeting of two cultures takes place: Russian and Spanish. Fortunately, in one plate they do not intersect.
Cooking according to the canons of classic recipes is that litmus test that determines the level of mastery of the chef. And here believe me, it is very high. It is not in vain that Angel Pascual received a Michelin star in his homeland. An elementary tortilla with onions for 270 rubles immediately transfers to Barcelona Rambla, and a dense parrusalda sends to the port city of San Sebastian.
Schedule: from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
As you can see, the Spanish theme is not alien to Moscow and is developed at a fairly high level. Now you know exactly where to try Basque cider, which tapas restaurant has several pages of the menu and where to go in the evening to enjoy live music and passionate flamenco motifs.
