Espana

A quaint restaurant that makes you feel like you have travelled far away. Their Paella is much better than what I have had for million times in Spain itself 🥘 all the Food was divine, and the atmosphere was cozy, chilled and pretty relaxed. I would go so far as to say it's one of the best Spanish food I've had in some of the best restaurants in Canada and Spain! Five stars as well for the friendly, professional, yet fun service! In a word: España was phenomenal 🧡 Recommend checking this place out. And yes, it’s pricy, but It's worth your time and money. Until next time, Espana! I love you 🥹

The food is pretty good here considering that Vancouver is not an easy place to get ingredients for a cuisine like this. However, we got annoyed on how the server was overly pushy. It looks that they are more in a hurry for you to eat fast and leave than actually enjoy the moment. The patrons next to us also noticed this. Food wise, we recommend the Galician style squid and the chicharrones. The anchovy tostada is generous and rich, I would personally add a bit of fresh tomato to balance the flavors.

The food is quite unique and it is fairly good. Server was sweet. Expected a more exciting wine list/lots of natural wine options but they did not have such an offering. Prices are extremely reasonable and the atmosphere is nice. This place is worth a visit but I don't think it is particularly mind blowing.

Good place but gets four stars : I keep restaurants accountable while I respect and understand them trying to make a living in expensive Vancouver: 1- tapas were nice but pricy (14$ for a bowl of potatoes and some sour cream? ) 2- no music 3- again high pressure to order and high pressure to clean the table hinting that you must leave. And something that has just come to my attention with not just this place but all places : they charge the tips on the entire amount of the bill and not the food and drink amount itself : so practically you pay 15% or 18% tips on the liquor tax and GST as well which can add up. So your 15% tip is essentially 18% and your 18% is about 21%. I understand the crew’s partial wages comes from tips and there has been inflation but the foods and drink have already priced inflation in so as the tips are % of the entire bill, the inflation has been adjusted already. I think paying the tips on the entire bill including gst and liquor tax is misleading and unethical. At this rate we will be at automatic 25% tips next year in Vancouver. Thx for reading.
