The 10 Best Spanish Restaurants in Bangkok, Ranked
Updated August 16, 2026
Bangkok has quietly become one of Asia’s best cities for Spanish food. The ICEX “Restaurants from Spain” program certifies more venues here than almost anywhere in the region, and the scene spans chef-driven tapas counters, rooftop paella rooms and neighbourhood vermouth bars.
This ranking weighs authenticity (Spanish chefs, imported ingredients, Spanish wine depth), cooking quality and the room itself. Every venue below is verified by our editors; certified venues carry the ICEX seal.
Book ahead for Vaso, el Willy and MoVida — all three fill their counters days out. PaLeTa takes walk-ins at the bar on weeknights.
