Espana - Vancouver

Wow! Espana is never a dissapointment. Whats not to love? Perfectly located by English bay and boasting simple inviting ambiance. Oh the fresh food.... delicious! Everyone must try the fried olives! My favourite part is choosing from the innovative rotating menu of beautifully prepared Spanish inspired meals and pairing them with a thoughtful selection of Spanish fine wines. Don't leave without tasting the churros with Dulce de Leche yogurt sauce simply sublime! I highly recommend Espana for a great evening of tapas with friends.

Great wine! Incredible fresh creative food! Highly recommend this quaint resto with super friendly staff

I've been to Espana many times and this was another excellent visit. The drinks, the music and the service were terrific and the food was out of this world! Love it.

Patatas Bravas were great.  Chicken liver pate on toast was ok but didn't blow us away. The Quail was shredded and heavily spiced, so we couldn't really tell it apart from, say, pulled pork. Finally the Paella, which was seafood-less that night, opting instead for mushrooms, truffle paste, and thin slices of cured pork. We specifically asked our server if they served it with a socarrat (crispy rice crust), and were assured they did. Alas, they didn't. However, to their credit, they took our complaint in stride and made an honest effort to rectify the situation short of redoing the entire dish (we wouldn't have wanted to wait another half hour for a redo anyways). Still, it was delicious. Service was polite and friendly which went a long way to smoothing out the bumps.

I like the cozy setting at the restaurant, foods are really good. I would recommend small group or date night at Espana. You should go early to avoid long wait.
