Spanish Restaurants near New Haven, CT

“You must eat here! One of the great meals of all time. The food is spectacular and the service is just as good.“

“Service is variable. Last time I went to Barcelona in NH I arrived a little after my friend who just stepped off the train. I guess she thought the olive oil plate was for her olive pits, and since bread didn’t land on the table before her food got there when our bread finally arrived the server just poured oil onto the olive oil plate with the pits in it and told us to dip around the pits instead of replacing the olive oil plate. We actually thought it was very silly and funny but if we weren’t so close it would not be aceptable. Other than that weird interaction the drinks were good the food was good and the main server was attentive and pleasant. I worked through grad school at the west Hartford restaurant and will be having my bridal shower at the Fairfield location so I’m rooting for a little more attention to detail to become a priority again!“

“Manjares is my favorite New Haven restaurant!“

“The atmosphere is intimate, the empanada's are so amazing, with a very creative variety!! It is clear that this is a labor of love, and your palette will benefit in a big way. I also, happen to catch a couple of event nights there that were really enjoyable. One, displayed a artists paintings, and the other was an open mic night, anyone was welcome. That was most enjoyable.. Put this on your "must" list!!“
