The best new Spanish restaurants in Bangkok

Basque cuisine, which is dominant in Northern Spain and Southern France, is the star at Nan Charcoal Grill. The menu is loaded with protein-heavy, spice-injected selections cooked in the Josper grill, an oven and charcoal grill hybrid that’s known for giving meat more aroma and retaining its juiciness. 

Lavigne’s version of Kika is stripped off controversial notoriety; the kitchen, instead, offers delicious, comforting Spanish bites that would appeal to most food lovers. Located opposite Saint Joseph Convent School in Silom, Kika follows the similar path paved by other tapas bars in town. 

Tucked in the mall’s bookstore-meet-dining space Open House, this casual eatery manages to break mall food stereotypes by unexpectedly coming up with some of the city’s most delicious Spanish grubs, making it rightfully deserve its Spanish name.  

A small two-story house on Sukhumvit 53 (the soi that provides alternative dining options in Thonglor) has been converted into a restaurant that puts the spotlight on Spanish rice dishes. 

Still a new kid on the block, Islero’s modern Spanish cuisine is known to strike awe. Chef Eduard Borsch deconstructs el Bulli’s avant-garde cuisine into more accessible dishes that still truly represent Spanish eating culture.
