Best Spanish restaurants that serve good paella in Singapore

Simply paella-table

If there's one one-pan dish we can all get behind, it has to be paella. Even if you're admittedly not a fan of Spanish grub, paella sees an aromatic amalgamation of short-grain rice plastered together with herbs, spices, and a solid base of stock. Sounds just like what any Asian can resonate with. Lucky for Singapore, we own a few authentic options — here's our shortlist below.

Pura Brasa

Fans of spanish food would definitely have heard of Pura Brasa, the go-to place for authentic Spanish cuisine in Singapore. With a total of six restaurants in Spain, Singapore is Pura Brasa’s first branch overseas. Apart from the warm and cozy ambience of the place — including an alfresco option — their dishes are also extremely tasty. Their seafood paella comes close to being a signature dish — every grain of rice is steeped in flavour, having thoroughly soaked up the thick seafood broth, then topped off with succulent prawns, peas and cuttlefish.

FOC Sentosa

Enjoy a truly sensational gastronomic experience at FOC Sentosa, an idyllic Mediterranean getaway where you'll be able to indulge in scrumptious paella by the sea — away from the hustle and bustle from the city life. Everything is superb here, but the paellas are definitely not to be missed. And while the squid ink paella is their signature dish, other alternatives would cater to different preferences given that they also serve iberico pork paella and vegetarian paella.
