Nestled in the vibrant streets of Budapest, El Hispano at Nagysándor József u. 3 is a hidden gem that transports you straight to the sunny coasts of Spain. This quaint tapas bar is more than just a place to eat; it’s an experience that brings the rich culinary traditions of Spain to the heart of Hungary.
El Hispano’s atmosphere is a delightful blend of classic Spanish charm with a fun twist, masterfully crafted by architect and co-owner Ekaterina Kochergina, the mastermind behind the interior design. The design tells the adventurous story of Fernando García, the co-owner and executive chef, who is passionate about aviation, exploration, and the culinary world. This narrative is vividly brought to life with vibrant red colors and an industrialized twist on traditional Cordobese patios, complete with lush plants adorning the walls.
Adding a personal touch to the décor is Fernando’s motorcycle, a centerpiece waiting for its new life after experiencing mechanical problems on its last long-distance adventure ride. This unique element adds a sense of adventure and personal history, enhancing the bar’s eclectic and inviting atmosphere.
El Hispano prides itself on offering an array of authentic Spanish tapas, but two dishes stand out as hand crafted crowd favorites: the tortilla española and the croquetas de jamón.
While the tortilla and croquetas steal the show, El Hispano’s menu boasts a variety of other traditional Spanish dishes. From the refreshing Virgin Sangria to the hearty gambas al pil pil, each dish is prepared with the finest ingredients and utmost care. The bar will also offer from this month of June a crafted selection of Spanish wines, beer, and vermouth, perfect for pairing with your meal and enhancing the overall dining experience.
