Spanish Cuisine: 2 Restaurants Found
Tinto
Address: 114 South 20th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103 (Map)
The Basque region of Spain—rich with an abundance of fresh fish, delectable sheep’s and goat’s cheese, fresh produce, and a wide variety of wines gathered from the bordering south of France—seems like a dream to those of us living the urban life in Philly. However, the vast variety of flavors as well as the passionate Spanish atmosphere can be enjoyed as near as Rittenhouse Square at Chef Jose Garces’ most recent endeavor, Tinto. Offering the authentic wine-cellar experience with the interior decoration and rustic Spanish vibe, Tinto also has a lounge with plush sofas to give the option on comfort and relaxation. Dyani Makous

Valanni
Address: 1229 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107 (Map)
Valanni fuels night-time revelry with its clever cocktails, scrumptious snacks and lively atmosphere. The menu is an elegant hybrid of Mediterranean and Latin influences,with traditional Spanish-style dishes like Seafood Paella sharing space with more fusion flavors like the Sesame and Pepita Crusted Yellowfin Tuna and the Honey glazed Duck Breast. The stylish dining room blends a rugged industrialism with a polished cosmopolitanism, juxtaposing exposed brick walls and an expansive bar with leather banquettes, modernist accents, and soft, glowing, amber lights. The allure of flavorful beverages like the Mango Mojito and Watermelon-Rita (a muddled watermelon margarita) make happy hours and late nights at Valanni irresistible.
