With spicy Spanish specialties, inexpensive cocktails, and a vibrant Spanish environment, the restaurant provides a complete dining experience.
The menu features dishes such as Iberico Chorizo Sausage, Spanish Octopus Leg a la Plancha, Asturia Seafood, and more.
We praise the restaurant for its high-quality food and service.
The restaurant’s atmosphere is cozy and intimate, making it a great spot for a date or a special occasion, and the menu is focused on traditional Spanish dishes while also offering more contemporary options.

Its desserts are noteworthy, the Seasonal Berries Pavlova is a must-try. Despite being a bit on the expensive side, we think it’s worth it for the quality of food and ambiance.

Carlos Montobbio, the head chef, has 15 years of culinary experience. He has trained under some of the industry’s most famous chefs, and his quest for new flavors and methods is obvious in the skillfully constructed dishes at Esquina.

We also appreciate that in addition to dine-in service, Esquina offers delivery, takeaway, and curbside pick-up options for customers’ convenience. The restaurant is also available for events and accepts online reservations.

Overall, Esquina is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to experience authentic Spanish and Catalan cuisine in a modern and lively atmosphere.
With delicious food and an experienced head chef at the helm, it’s a great spot for anyone interested in trying out Spanish cuisine.

With its original flavors and contemporary food, FOC Restaurant on Hong Kong Street delivers the spirit of Barcelona to the city.
The restaurant, which launched in September 2014, is a collaboration between Michelin Star Chef Nandu Jubany and a group of Singaporeans who sought to recreate the fine dining experience of Barcelona.

Diners are met by the sights and sounds of a bustling open kitchen, where chefs and bartenders collaborate to produce delectable food and cocktails.
The environment is comfortable and casual, but you can see that the staff and cooks are working hard to provide the greatest experience possible for their guests.

Binomio is a popular Spanish restaurant in Craig Road that combines the look of a casual tapas bar with that of a fine dining establishment.
The term “Binomio” actually means “pair” or “duo” in Spanish, and this duality makes it a really interesting choice if you want to experience several styles of Spanish cuisine.
Binomio’s menu offers a diverse selection of genuine Spanish meals, including popular favorites as well as special innovations by the head chef.
We love how the menu changes at least four times a year depending on seasonal ingredients, and the restaurant’s head chef prepares daily specials based on the fresh vegetables available that day.
The establishment boasts a high seating capacity, making it a great option for larger groups. Additionally, its wine selection is impressive, offering a wide range of options to complement the food.
The restaurant also accepts online reservations and delivery. However, it is unavailable around 2 PM – 5 PM. Additionally, the restaurant can be pricey, making it a better option for special occasions or a special night out with friends or family.
Overall, Binomio is a unique dining destination in Singapore. Its Spanish cuisine is well-executed, with an interesting wine list to boot.

Kulto is a one-of-a-kind and authentic dining experience that takes customers to Spain with its food and decor.
The restaurant is located in a historic unit at 87 Amoy Street and contains wooden shutters, which are a common characteristic of homes in Madrid and Barcelona.
The wonderfully refurbished interior is highly unique and quite beautiful, making the restaurant an excellent choice for couples searching for a romantic dinner spot.
Its menu features a wide range of traditional Spanish dishes, including the popular Paella and the more niche Carrillera de Ternera. However, the food menu is at least 95% Spanish which may be an issue for non-Spanish speakers.
We love that the dishes are prepared using fresh ingredients, and customers can watch the chefs working their magic in the open kitchen, which is an extension of the private dining room.
Kulto is an award-winning restaurant that serves excellent meals. The restaurant also provides gift certificates that can be utilized for special occasions.
It also serves unique sweets such as San Sebastian’s famed Basque Cheesecake.
Apart from the 95% Spanish menus, the only other drawbacks are that Kulto is closed on Sundays and is more expensive than similar restaurants in the city.
