Consentido Espanhola, Spanish seafood rice from Sao Paulo

🍤 Consentido Espanhola: São Paulo’s Authentic Spanish Paella Haven Recommended on Xiaohongshu by a self-proclaimed "Spainophile," this spot claims to bring Madrid’s flavors to SP. 🌟 Owned by a Spanish expat, does it deliver? From bright, family-friendly vibes to mixed appetizers and killer paella, here’s the real deal. 🌟 The Must-Try Bites (and One to Avoid) Tosta de Jamón Ibérico: Decadent but Deadly Two open-faced sandwiches pile cured Iberico ham, quail eggs, and melted cheese on fluffy bread. 🐖 The ham is nutty and rich, but warned—one tosta fills half your stomach! Pro tip: Share this oily (but delicious) starter. Calamares a la Plancha: Chew-Fest Alert Grilled squid looks pretty on the plate, but tastes like rubber. 🦑 Zero seasoning, just chewiness—skip this and order patatas bravas instead. 🥘 Main Event: Paella Done Right (With a Twist) Dual-Color Paella Platter Classic Seafood: Briny broth, al dente rice, and melt-in-your-mouth squid. 🍚 A tad salty, but authentically "undercooked" (Spanish-style!). Black Rice Version: Squid ink adds depth—smokier and more umami than the original. 🖤 Order this over the standard paella! 🥂 Drinks: Stick to Wine, Skip the Cocktails Cocktails like Sangría are forgettable—go for a bottle of Rioja instead. 🍷 The staff will help you pair it with your paella. 💡 Pro Tips for Your Visit Family-Friendly Vibe: Bright lighting and spacious tables make this perfect for big groups. 👨👩👧👦 No romantic dimness here—come for loud chats, not date nights. Portion Hack: Appetizers are huge—order 1 per 2 people. 🥄 Save stomach space for the paella! Address & Hours: Alameda Campinas, 1061 - Jardim Paulista Open daily 12 PM–11 PM (paella takes 30 mins, so order early!) 🌟 Final Verdict: Come for Paella, Skip the Squid ✔️ Go if: You crave authentic Spanish rice dishes You want a lively spot for family dinners You’re willing to overlook so-so apps for great paella ✖️ Skip if: You hate al dente rice (it’s supposed to be firm!) You’re sensitive to salt You expect fancy cocktails Bottom line: Consentido nails the paella game—just prepare to dodge the rubber squid and bring hungry friends to share the feast. 🍴✨ #SaoPauloSpanish #AuthenticPaella #BrazilianFoodie #JardimPaulistaEats #SpanishCuisineSP
