Tatel Restaurant Review - A Taste of Spanish Culinary Excellence in Beverly Hills

Nestled in the heart of Beverly Hills' impeccable dining scene lays an uncovered gem - Tatel. A new hotspot in the "golden triangle" that boasts Spanish culinary excellence. Whether it’s a quick lunch, a divine dinner, or after-work drinks - Tatel is the place that has quickly taken over our tastebuds. 

Upon entry, restaurant-goers will enjoy the sultry vibe of the establishment. With red leather booths, turquoise walls, and gold trimmings, Tatel is equally enticing as it is inviting. Expect to dine on traditional tapas such as croquetas de Jamon Iberico, calamari, and fried cauliflower. The prime restaurant delivers three options for paella; however, our pick was the short rib paella and a few other classics such as Ora King Salmon, Peri Peri Chicken, and more. 

The menu provides a wide variety of delectable bites; however, for diners who want a bit of everything, try the newly launched pre-fixe menu. For the starter, refreshing and chilled Gazpacho, Gambas al Ajillo (shrimp, garlic, Tatel, EVOO, and Fresno chili) or the fantastic Abuela's Ensalada (comprised of radish, red onion, Campari tomato, cucumber, olives, sumac, and yogurt). For the main course, diners can choose between the Classic Seafood, Vegetable Paella, Fried Cauliflower, or the fantastic Wagyu Burger crowned with creamy manchego cheese. The Chocolate Mousse, refreshing Sorbet, creamy Arroz Con Leche, and Tatel's World Famous Cheesecake are the options for the final course.

The pre-fixe menu, $48.00, is available Monday through Thursday from 5 pm to 7 pm, and Friday through Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm. The set menu is in a league of its own and will provide an unforgettable dining experience.  

Boasting some of the best Spanish food in the Los Angeles area, Tatel is more than a restaurant - it’s a culinary destination.
