Best Spanish Restaurants in Fairfax

Bazaar Meat by José Andrés at the Waldorf Astoria was such a beautiful dining experience. The atmosphere is elegant, glamorous, and perfect for a special night out. The food was creative and beautifully presented, with incredible flavors and high-quality meats. The service was attentive and made the entire experience feel extra special. Definitely a place I’d recommend for a romantic dinner, celebration, or upscale night in DC! 🥩✨

The staff at Bodega was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly! The food was delicious!

The food is always delicious and the service impeccable. It has become my go to for business lunches and happy hours.

I have visited Xiquet several times over the years, and the food has consistently been exceptional. A Michelin-starred dining experience is very different from a conventional restaurant experience. To fully appreciate and enjoy what Xiquet offers, you have to surrender yourself to the journey that has been carefully crafted for you. It requires an open mind and a willingness to let the team guide you through the evening. At the same time, you're not going in blind. You know that Xiquet is a Spanish restaurant with strong Valencian roots, where rice plays a central role in the cuisine. Xiquet does not disappoint. It delivers a complete Spanish culinary experience that is both authentic and refined. One aspect that stands out is the balance of the menu. Proteins and vegetables take center stage throughout most of the courses, while the paella is the only dish that features a significant amount of carbohydrates. The progression of the meal feels carefully calculated, allowing guests to reach the final course without feeling overly full or fatigued. In fact, even my 10-year-old daughter was able to enjoy and nearly finish every dish, with just a little help from her dad, of course. We were celebrating my wife's birthday, and she had an absolutely wonderful time. The atmosphere has improved significantly since my first visits. The service was impeccable, and the attention to detail was evident in everything from the décor to the tableware and presentation. The dining room feels more polished and elegant than ever. One thing that has always impressed me about Xiquet, and continues to do so, is its wine program. The list is thoughtfully curated and highlights many small, boutique Spanish wineries. Spanish cuisine is naturally versatile and pairs beautifully with wine, but the team does an outstanding job of selecting wines that elevate the experience even further. If you are looking for an exceptional culinary experience that showcases Spanish cousin visit Xiquet.

Wonderful food and wine, the dishes were exquisitely prepared and presented with attention to detail. Love to have the chef came out and talked to us!
