El Payés

“Great restaurant with an amazing menu. How I missed the callos a la madrilleña, which they had here. They've elevated the dish for me by using big pieces of pork. I also enjoyed the fall off the bone oxtail dish. The pulpo starter was also amazing. All in all, a very nice dinner. Thank you for the wonderful service.”

“Restaurante español El Payés serves amazing food. The paella in particular was fantastic — full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Service was a bit slow, so be prepared to wait, but the food is well worth it. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic Spanish cuisine.”

“The first time i went to this restaurant i was impressed with the quality of the food and also the live flamenco performance. Then i booked a table of 14 for my birthday and once again it didnt disappoint. The staff are super friendly and give great service. Great entres and the marisco Paella is as good as i have had in Spain and the prices are fair. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a Spanish cuisine experience in Medellin. Gracias🙏”

“Very pleasant atmosphere. Excellent seafood Paella (they have different ones). The best ham croquettes I have had in my life, Simply delicious. For drink we had Garnacha Viña Otano Rioja. Very smooth rose wine. Recommended. For dessert, Crema Catalana. Similar to creme brulee but in my opinion better. As we were ready to leave, the owner, Maria Elena, whose husband is from Spain, came to our table to greet us and ask us how we liked the food and the whole experience. What a service and what an experience. Highly recommended.”

“Wow, what a great place we have stumbled upon here. Beautiful decor, great food and service. The paella was perfect. Rice was not overcooked and plenty of sea food. The croquettes were delicious and the Sangria was perfect, not too sweet and fresh fruits. The crema catelana for dessert was delicious. Highly recommended!”

“This restaurant is a hidden gem in Medellin. Everything on the menu is authentic Spanish cuisine and tastes exactly like the food you would eat in Spain. We came here twice just for the paella alone. It's a close second to the original in Valencia. All of the food is delicious and the chef really takes their time to make sure all the dishes come out to perfection. I would highly recommend the croquettes, and any of the paellas. The restaurant itself is cozy and gives you a homey vibe. All of the staff are kind, attentive, and go out of their way to make sure you have a great dining experience. I can't wait to come back to Colombia just to eat here again!”
