Your questions answered
Where can I find authentic paella in Singapore?
Paella is a highlight at UNA at The Alkaff Mansion, My Little Spanish Place in Bukit Timah, FOC on Keong Saik Road, Binomio at Raffles Hotel Arcade and Sabor at CHIJMES. Many paellas are cooked to order for two or more people, so it is worth calling ahead.
Which are the best tapas bars for a casual night out?
For a relaxed, shareable evening try Tapas Club (Orchard Central, VivoCity, Jewel), Tapas,24 at Robertson Quay, Sabor at CHIJMES, or Kulto and BAM! in the CBD and Tanjong Pagar. Bar hours and drink prices change often, so confirm before you go.
Are there Michelin-recognised Spanish restaurants in Singapore?
Yes. FOC on Keong Saik Road and Olivia Restaurant & Lounge have both featured in the MICHELIN Guide Singapore for their modern Barcelona and Catalan cooking. Listings can change year to year, so check the current MICHELIN Guide for the latest status.
Do Spanish and tapas restaurants in Singapore serve halal food?
Generally no. Spanish cuisine leans heavily on pork such as jamon Iberico, chorizo and suckling pig, and none of the restaurants in this guide are halal-certified. If you have dietary requirements, contact the restaurant directly to ask what they can accommodate.
How much does a tapas dinner in Singapore usually cost?
Casual tapas spots like Tapas Club, La Taperia, Barrio and Sabor typically land in the $$ range, while fine-dining-leaning venues such as FOC, Binomio, UNA and BAM! sit at $$$ to $$$$. Sharing several small plates plus a paella and drinks is the usual way to order, so budget accordingly.
