I really loved this spot.
It didn’t have near the selection of tapas that I’d been given to expect, so that’s why there’s one star less than 5/5.
However now that you, dear reader, know this, if you go you’ll know not to expect a tapas restaurant.
You will love every bite though!!

Me and my friend were meeting in a restaurant on Richmond road and when we got there the whole block had no power. We decided to take a chance and went into Cadena Restaurant, WOW! It was a great decision. We never had Spanish food so it was out of our comfort zone and was very surprised of our choice of tapas. The food was hot and flavorful. I will definitely be back to try the paella.

Started with mushroom croquettes, and then shared the Canejo (pan fried rabbit) and Rabo de Toro (braised oxtail), followed by the Dulce de Leche Cheesecake for dessert. For the most part, everything tasted good with the exception that the rabbit was overdone and full of many small bones. It was worth it to try something different but overpriced for the portion sizes and atmosphere.
