“Jarana Taipei is one of those rare places you don’t just visit, you keep coming back to. I'm lucky enough to come to Taipei once a month for work, and Jarana is a must stop for dinner. The menu strikes a perfect balance between classic Spanish cuisine and a refined modern touch. You’ll find outstanding croquetas, arroz dishes, paella, and fideuà, all executed with precision and respect for tradition. What truly sets it apart are the ever-changing specials. There’s always something to look forward to, whether it’s crispy potatoes with octopus, a tuna bottarga brioche with caviar, or a beautifully elevated ensaladilla with shrimp. Even deeper, comforting dishes like carrilleras or revuelto de espárragos con foie show the kitchen’s depth and creativity. Chef Dani and his team never disappoint. The service is consistently warm and professional, and you can feel the passion behind every single dish. A must-try in Taipei when you want a break from the amazing local cuisine, and a place you’ll always want to return to. I know my colleagues and I can't wait to be back every month.”

“I honestly expected more from this place. None of the dishes really stood out — everything tasted pretty ordinary. For the price they charge, I was hoping for something more special or memorable, but it didn’t deliver. The portions were average and the flavors were nothing impressive, making the overall experience feel disappointing given how expensive it is. There are many better restaurants in Taipei that offer more interesting and better-quality food for the same (or even lower) price.”

“I was looking for a new place to enjoy Christmas Eve dinner with my family and came across Jarana. Thank you to the team for accommodating us on Christmas Eve—it made the evening feel extra special. We love Spanish cuisine, and Jarana did not disappoint. The tapas selection was top-notch. The top 3 favorites: raw beef carpaccio, Iberico cooked medium rare and soft-shell lobster !!! Personally, I really enjoyed the baby squid with black ink—it was flavorful and perfectly cooked. We ordered two Bisque Paellas, and the seafood was incredibly fresh; not a single grain of rice was left behind. The Fideuà with foie gras was also a standout—very unique, our first time trying it, and absolutely worth it. Overall, a memorable and satisfying dining experience that we’d happily return for.”

“Fantastic Spanish restaurant and this is coming from someone from Madrid. The chef Daniel is an artist. Some of the dishes I did not have them in years and they were top notch. They even have Mahou beer. If you are from Madrid, you know. I cannot recommend the place high enough. The fideuá is the type of dish that makes memories.”

“If you appreciate Spanish cuisine, you will share my love to Jarana. Its seasoning is slightly more gentle than that of in Spain. I would say Jarana does find a great balance between maintaining authenticity and adapting for Taiwanese palate. As a BCN resident, this places is my first choice when i miss Spanish food in Taiwan.”

“We made our reservation through Instagram dm and were lucky enough to get a table for 5 one day before our family dinner. We ordered 7 tapas and 2 mains and everything we had was great. My personal fav were the mejillones a las hierbas and the 5 cheese cheesecake. The service was top notch. The seasoning was a bit on the salty side for my parents but it was perfect for me. Highly recommended.”
