Spanish Restaurants in Prague

Spanish food isn’t the first thing that pops into your head when you think of Prague, but trust me, there are some spots worth sitting down at. If you’re craving tapas with genuine sherry or that classic seafood paella, you’ll want to skip the generic ‘Spanish’ menus you sometimes find around Old Town. Instead, head over to neighborhoods like Vinohrady or Smíchov where expats and locals hang out to savor authentic flavors.

Places like La Bodega de Salvador bring a casual vibe and a decent selection of jamón ibérico and manchego cheeses. And if you time it right,usually in spring or summer,some spots will fire up the paella pans outside, which is a treat with a cold cerveza in hand. You might notice that many Spanish places here have a slight Czech twist; it’s charming, and often means you’ll get fresh, local ingredients married with classic Spanish recipes.

My tip? Always ask if they have the daily ‘tapa del día’ or if there's a recommended wine from Rioja or Ribera del Duero,it shows you they care about the experience and not just ticking the Spanish box. And if you want something quick but authentic, a churros spot around Vinohrady can also fix your sweet tooth after a savory meal. Spanish food in Prague can surprise you if you hunt a little off the tourist paths.
