Armando the Chef/Owner came by our table and gave us instructions on how to reheat the paella once we were ready to eat it.įor dessert, we had the Almond Cake that was truly out of this world delicious.

At this point, we were full and needed to take our leftover paella home with us. It was the perfect balance of all ingredients where no one single ingredient overpowered another proof of Chef Armando’s Classic Culinary training. This paella was by far one of the best that I have ever eaten. Now for our entrée, we opted for the Paella Mixta for 2 which consists of chicken, sausage, calamari, shrimps, clams, mussels, garbanzos, artichokes, piquillos, green beans, Calasparra Rice, Saffron Broth and Pimenton de la Vera. Its beauty was rivaled only by its exquisite taste. Suffice it to say that it was cooked to perfection and artistically plated. Lastly, we could not resist the Grilled Octopus Special of the night. Next up was the Gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp) prepared with crushed red peppers and finished with a splash of wine and parsley. The first was the Alcachofas (artichokes) with Serrano ham, sliced garlic, red crushed peppers, and finished in a light wine sauce. Our server lovingly poured and placed the fruit in our glasses. It was delicate yet so very flavorful and most definitely a wonderful blending of flavors. We ordered a pitcher of White Wine Sangria to complement our selections. We reviewed the diverse menu that spans more than just typical tapas and paella (which if I may add are also cooked to perfection) but unique dishes from Asturias, Galicia, and more - all with carefully sourced ingredients and the richest of flavors to match. We were seated immediately as we had a reservation. The combination of décor, sounds and aromas are unmistakably those of Seville, Granada, Barcelona, or San Sebastian. You walk in the front door and you have instantly whisked away to one of Spain’s Best Tapas Cities. If you are in the mood and are looking for the atmosphere and vibe of a Madrid Spain Tapas Restaurant, look no further than Candela Restaurant.
I am a very picky person and I couldn’t find a thing wrong with this restaurant.This hidden gem is located in Wilton Manors off the beaten path in a small strip mall and well set up just like in Spain. Home made berry sorbet topped with a very good spanish gin. I then had the filet steak and it was cooked to medium perfection.Īnd then the biggest surprise, they had a dessert I could have that wasn’t fruit salad. The wine list was very extensive and catered to all budgets. It was good to see that the diners were from different generations. Congrats to the chef for a modern menu with ties to the past. For lactose intolerant people, finding soups to eat in restaurants is not easy. I had the garden salad to start but I could have had soups, tatar or seafood.
