El Hispano - Budapest

Discover El Hispano Café, a slice of Spain in the heart of Budapest. Nestled in the vibrant streets at Nagysándor József u. 3, El Hispano is a hidden gem that transports you straight to the sunny coasts of Spain. This charming tapas bar is more than just a place to eat; it's an experience that brings the rich culinary traditions of Spain to Hungary. Step into El Hispano and be enveloped by a unique ambiance crafted by architect and co-owner Ekaterina Kochergina. The interior design tells the adventurous story of Fernando García, the co-owner and executive chef, whose passions for aviation, exploration, and the culinary arts are woven into the space. The blend of classic Spanish charm and an industrial twist on traditional Cordobese patios, adorned with vibrant colors and lush plants, creates a welcoming atmosphere. A highlight of the décor is Fernando’s motorcycle, a conversation starter that adds a personal touch and sense of adventure to the eclectic setting. At El Hispano, delight in a menu brimming with authentic Spanish tapas, where two handcrafted favorites shine: the tortilla española and the croquetas de jamón. The tortilla española is a classic Spanish omelet, cooked to perfection each day, boasting a crispy exterior and a savory, soft interior. Meanwhile, the croquetas de jamón, made from a rich béchamel sauce and filled with fine iberico ham, are a crunchy delight that melts in your mouth. The menu doesn’t end there; El Hispano also features an array of other traditional dishes prepared with the finest ingredients and utmost care. Enjoy refreshing Virgin Sangria, hearty gambas al pil pil, and a carefully curated selection of Spanish wines, beer, and vermouth to perfectly complement your meal.
