Whether to get something hearty and filling for a fiesta, or quick bites after a siesta, Bangkok sees a growing number of Spanish restaurants, and good ones at that. Here are our picks for where to find the best Spanish food in Bangkok.
Tapas, paella, and maybe churros are normally what people think of when it comes to Spanish food, but the cuisine is so much more than that. Spain is very diverse, and thereby Spanish cuisine can vary by region. One thing is for certain: it’s homey, rustic, and never boring. Some might do a modern twist on classic recipes, but the fire and love that Spanish cuisine bestows is very distinct. This list focuses on mostly casual settings with heartwarming food, like a Spanish grandmother’s kitchen.
Here is our list of some of the best Spanish restaurants Bangkok has to offer.

The best Spanish restaurants in Bangkok
el Willy Spanish Kitchen
Best for: Good energy, proper full Spanish meals
“Fun, sexy, and happy” are the key concepts that circulate through the whole of el Willy Spanish Kitchen, and this reflects its owner’s personality, Chef Willy Trullàs Moreno. Following the chef’s other outlets in Shanghai and Hong Kong, el Willy Bangkok chooses to adapt to Thai tastes by pumping up the spice, as you will experience in the paella and other dishes. A la carte and tasting menus are available, with the latter being highly recommended for a little taste of everything.
