About España Restaurant & Tapas

About Us

España Restaurant & Tapas brings authentic Spanish flavor and old-world charm to historic downtown Fernandina Beach. Known for its tapas-style dining, paella, and thoughtfully curated wine list, España is a favorite for guests who enjoy sharing plates, lingering conversations, and meals that unfold at a relaxed pace. The menu is built around classic Spanish dishes, designed to be enjoyed family-style. Tapas arrive warm and flavorful, encouraging guests to sample a little of everything, while signature entrées like paella offer a centerpiece worth slowing down for. The flavors are bold without being heavy, balanced with care, and rooted in tradition. Inside, the atmosphere feels intimate and timeless — cozy lighting, warm tones, and a dining room that invites you to settle in. España is especially popular for date nights, small group dinners, and evenings that stretch longer than planned, the kind where one glass of wine turns into two. Wine plays a starring role here. The list features Spanish and European selections chosen to complement the menu and elevate the shared-plate experience. Staff are knowledgeable and happy to guide pairings without making it feel formal or intimidating. Located right in downtown Fernandina Beach, España fits naturally into an evening of strolling Centre Street, browsing shops, or pairing dinner with live music nearby. It’s not rushed, not loud, and not trendy — it’s confident, comfortable, and consistent. Bottom line: if you’re looking for Spanish dining on Amelia Island with tapas, paella, excellent wine, and a warm downtown atmosphere, España Restaurant & Tapas offers a dining experience meant to be savored.
