FYI, they don't have wifi and the 1st menu we got was for a typical meal (appetizers, entrees, dessert, etc). We separately asked for the tapas menu. Our waiter spoke English, Spanish, and German equally well and their website is in English as well. There also seems to be a separate smaller restaurant next to it...this review is for the main restaurant on the corner. We ordered bacon wrapped dates, octopus salad, and a shrimp dish from the tapas menu. All were outstanding. We also ordered a bottle of rose and fish & seafood paella. Fish & seafood were cooked pretty well but the rice was a bit soft for my liking and lacked flavor. However, the paella portion size could easily serve 4. Overall, a very good meal with great service and competitively priced. Would recommend.

The tortilla was a little different than the ones we enjoyed in Spain but still very good. Spanish tapas in Germany are a nice break from the traditional German fare.

He had to verify that the phone number from which we called was that of the person who was in attendance. (I was ready to get a Döner at that point...) The highlight of the food is the Aioli with the unbelievable amount of garlic. Everything that followed thereafter was absolutely mediocre and easy to replicate on your own at home... and much cheaper. I tried to go the somewhat healthier route, with a salad and sparkling water. My partner ordered a few (3 - 4 appetizer dishes) and 3 beers. We left the place paying 65 Euros... What you need to know about Spanish Tapas in general is that the majority of the menu is made up of deep-fried or heavily greased up items. A healthy item is difficult to come by. We were in Spain recently and had lots of Tapas there as well... and one thing I've learned with Tapas: price is by no means an indication of a good Tapas place whatever. So.. not my fav and will not be back.

Der Spanier is a small Spanish restaurant in a central location in Altstadt, Bonn. Since the place…read moreis almost always busy, the service is always slow. It is a fun thing that you grab your own beer or wine yourself. Especially prices and the quality of wines are quite reasonable. I find nothing interesting or special about the tapas variations I had there so far. Except chorizo, I'd say they all taste good but still mediocre. If you want to have an average food in a crowded (but fun) place with bad service in a central location, Der Spanier is a perfect choice. Make sure you reserve your seats in advance. Tables closer to the refrigerator are recommended. :)

We were at Royal Iberico for a Yelp Elite event and were greeted by a well-decorated, chic atmosphere and our warm and friendly restaurant hosts. The restaurant is small but intimate and cozy. On to the food- we started with a delicious and smooth Cava Apertif which was refreshing and tasty, and an olive bread with a garlic dip. The appetizer was a beautifully presented zucchini hors d'oeuvre, and we also enjoyed a charcuterie platter with Serrano ham, cheese, and chorizo. The main course was the highlight of our evening- Iberian steak with potatoes and mixed vegetables. The steak was both crispy and tender, flavorful and delicious. It had a tad too much salt for my taste, but overall it was very good. In between courses, we enjoyed live violin and accordion music, which was a great surprise. They played dynamically and romantically and added to the charm of the evening. Five stars for a lovely dinner and evening.
