Casa Española — Restaurant in Freiburg im Breisgau

After a busy day we fancied some seafood for dinner. This appeared to be the closest thing so popped in.

It was a very busy/dynamic setting and the usual tapas sort of prices. The menu I'm sure stated the paella was for 4 people but when we saw a trio have this we asked for the same.

While we waited some dry bread was given to us. When the food arrived the one prawn was delicious and monstrous in size, as was the mussel. The chicken drumstick was tasty but that and everything else was not very hot. The rice was interlaced with greens and calamri and a little mushy but flavours okay.

Overall it was okay and service was attentive albeit a...

Bienaventurados los parroquianos de la Casa Española porque pueden disfrutar la oportunidad de hacer una excursión gastronómica a cualquier rincón de la geografía española. Sí, un local veterano y pionero en ofrecer tapas que yo tuve la grata ocasión de conocer nada más poner los pies en esta ciudad a finales de septiembre de 1987, en el antiguo y mítico local y desde entonces ha llovido mucho, pero Casa sigue ahí, fiel al principio de ofrecer a su clientela un rato muy agradable con precios al alcance de todos los bolsillos. Y si eres turista o estudiante español un poco un desorientado, pues nada…¡Atrévete, que te gustará! Amén

Selig sind die Stammgäste des Casa Española, denn sie haben die Gelegenheit, eine gastronomische Reise in jeden Winkel der spanischen Geographie zu unternehmen. Ja, ein alteingesessenes und wegweisendes Lokal, das Tapas anbietet und das ich die angenehme Gelegenheit hatte, gleich nach meiner Ankunft in dieser Stadt Ende September 1987 im alten und legendären Lokal kennenzulernen. Seitdem ist viel Zeit vergangen, aber Casa ist immer noch da und bleibt dem Prinzip treu, seinen Gästen eine sehr angenehme Zeit zu bieten, mit Preisen, die für jeden erschwinglich sind. Und wenn du ein etwas orientierungsloser Tourist oder Student bist, nur keine Sorge… Trau dich, es wird dir gefallen! Amen.

Blessed are the patrons of Casa Española, for they have the opportunity to enjoy a gastronomic journey to any corner of Spain. Yes, a veteran and pioneering establishment offering tapas, which I had the pleasant chance to discover as soon as I set foot in this city at the end of September 1987, in the old and legendary location. A lot has happened since then, but Casa is still there, staying true to the principle of offering its clientele a very pleasant time with prices that are affordable for everyone. And if you are a somewhat lost tourist or student, don’t worry... Go ahead, you’ll...

Eating in a Spanish restaurant abroad could be sometimes tricky...let's say the quality was okay (I've eaten better tapas in Spain of course but it could have been worse). The portions were big enough that we couldn't finish everything we ordered and price was affordable and fair for what we got. A small details: we sat outside cos iinside was full and loud; they have plastic chairs (like a proper bar in Spain) but as we are in Germany after a while it became cool; we asked for a seat cushion and a blanket but they...
