The Wooden Spoon Wine Paella Tapas

I visited this restaurant with a friend, and the food was amazing. It was comparable to the paella I had in Granada—authentic and full of flavor. The tapas were also excellent. This place is truly a hidden gem in the Richmond culinary scene, and I highly recommend it.

Absolutely wonderful! The tapas, paella, and main courses were all perfect, as well as the wine. We loved everything! We will definitely be back soon!

My friend was so taken by the paella that he didn't know how to handle it the next day. We want to eat here every week! The food is absolutely delicious, and the ingredients are carefully selected for the health of the diners. It's such a warm and genuine place to visit. You should definitely try it soon!

In my opinion, the biggest test of a Spanish restaurant on quality is its ability to produce a large paella. many have seemingly confused about risotto vs paella. it has expensive ingredients, needs some time to do it properly (it must rest to make the scrupulous quality fall from the pan,) and requires some qualified attention. yvette at the wooden spoon tapas, paella and weinbar has nailed it! yvette and our waiter were human, attentive and shared interesting views about Spanish eating and wein. We also had the luck that the restaurant wine trader ate during our visit at the bar and he went through the Spanish wine selections that were also excellent. we will definitely be back for more.

In my opinion, the greatest test of a Spanish restaurant’s focus on quality is their ability to produce a great Paella. Many have seemingly gotten confused about risotto vs paella. It’s got expensive ingredients, takes some time to do it right (it’s gotta rest to make the crusty goodness fall off the pan), and requires some skilled attention. Yvette at The Wooden Spoon Tapas, Paella, and wine bar nailed it! Yvette and our waiter were personable, attentive, and shared interesting insights about Spanish food and wine. We were also fortunate that the restaurants wine dealer was eating at the bar during our visit and he walked us through the Spanish wine selections which were also excellent. We will definitely return for more.
