In Spain, tapas is not merely food—it is the engine of social life. It is the ritual that brings friends together after a workday or sets the stage for a weekend celebration. But what makes these small dishes so special, and how did this vibrant Mediterranean world find its home in the heart of the Hungarian capital?
If you are looking for the authentic Budapest tapas experience,, a Tapas Bar by Felisa is where Spanish tradition meets modern culinary expertise. Allow us to guide you through the gems of our menu!
Cold and warm classics: The soul of the Spanish restaurant
The true measure of an authentic tapas bar is how it prepares the fundamental classics. At Felisa, we take pride in staying true to our roots while adding a unique twist to every presentation.
The indispensable Patatas and Pimientos. There is no tapas experience without potatoes. Our Patatas are available in three versions: with silky Alioli, spicy Brava sauce, or mixed if you can't decide. A must-have pairing is the Pimientos de Padrón—fried Padrón peppers with sea salt. It’s the ultimate Spanish gastro-roulette, where every now and then, a spicy one makes a surprise appearance!
Seafood and meaty bites, Spanish style
For seafood tapas lovers, Gambas al Ajillo (garlic prawns) is a must-have, but it’s also well worth trying the Almejas en Mojo Verde, where clams are served in a piquant green mojo sauce.
The meat lovers, the intense aromas of Red Wine Chorizo (Chorizo al vino tinto) or the Pork Cheeks with Cane Honey (Carrillera a la miel de caña) offer an unforgettable experience. And for those craving something truly crispy, the Torreznos—fried pork belly—is the perfect choice for a Spanish evening out.
Specialties you won't find in every tapas bar!
The Tapas Bar by Felisa alongside traditional tapas recipes, you will find unique specialties such as:
- Spinach with goat cheese: A light, yet bold vegetarian choice.
- Garlic mushrooms with green pea puree: A meeting of exciting textures and fresh flavors.
- Serrano ham croquettes: The classic Spanish Croquetas, made our way—creamy and crunchy at the same time.
- Grilled chicken with green Mojo: The fresh herbs of the Mojo Verde sauce, originating from the Canary Islands, give the juicy chicken breast slices their true character.
- Salmorejo – The cold Andalusian temptation: This thick, creamy tomato soup is the pride of Córdoba. Refreshing, filling, and Spanish to the core—the perfect start to any tapas dinner.
And if you are looking for a more complex experience, every bite of the Pincho con Chorizo (with chorizo, Padrón peppers, and flambéed Manchego cheese) evokes the spirit of Spain.
Paella: The queen of the tapas tables
While tapas are all about grazing, Paella is a must-have on Felisa’s menu. Whether you choose the classic Chicken Thigh Fillet version or the rich Seafood Paella, our authentic recipes guarantee that southern vibe.
