Der kleine Spanier

We had a selection of Tapas and some good wine here. The atmosphere is also really nice next to the old bridge and worth a visit if you're looking for something other than German Cuisine!

The tapas are fantastic and the people who work at this restaurant are very friendly. The view is absolutely amazing.

Very good shrimp paella and the owner was super nice. We will definitely go back if we are in the neighbourhood again.

Well I had the best tapas in this restaurant since my trip to San Sebastian and that place is hard to top!
Super service and utterly scrumptious food.
Only 1 little gripe. As my jacket got a downpour of sangria and it now has to be cleaned....it would have been nice if the cortado was on the house😊.

My wife and I visited Der kleine Spanier recently and had Taps. They were all excellent. Good selection, great service, high quality; we enjoyed our meal. Even better, we visited this restaurant last summer and had the time to wait for Paella (after some excellent bread, olives and drinks). This was the best Paella I have had in Europe. Paella takes time and it’s well worth the wait. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Germany.

Really tasty tapas! We're only here for a few days and found this great tapas restaurant by accident. Best tapas we've had in a long time! The homemade lemonade was delicious on a very hot day. Yum!

Der kleine Spanier translates to "the little Spanish". But it is anything but little at this best located Spanish tapas restaurant in Heidelberg! Located right by the iconic "Old Bridge" and the Neckar River in the Alstadt (old city). I have regularly taken visiting guests here to dine as the food, sangria, wine selection, ambience and location meets all expectations of dining out at this romantic and gorgeous city. During Summer, do book their outdoor tables by the bridge, or if you like indoor dining, tables at the entrance level by the windows are best. Reservations are recommended!

Food good. Staff lovely, very helpful. Attentive without being pushy. Mixed crowd of young & old, some in for a bite and a glass of wine, some in for the evening. Good vibes.

Amazing tapas! Garlic shrimp was so yum! The cold-cut platter was very impressive, portion was also generous enough. Meatballs were a bit salty for my taste but for tapas that go with drinks they are perfect. Cocktail was also really tasty. The location by the old bridge is just so nice also. It is not the cheapest place.. but hey the location and the quality make up for it.

The most underated restuarant in Heidelberg This should be the first place recommended on trip advisor.
Placed at the edge of the old town bridge, this restuarant is very non descript and can be missed easily, but do yourself a favour and step inside. The staff is helpful and super friendly. And just when you impressed with the great reception, you can kick off with a cocktail that is second to none with a tapas spread of exceptional flavours.
We went back for the paella the next day.
BTW...the wine selection is awesome!!!!

Excellent Spanish food. They have a great selection of Spanish wines and beers (try the Estrella Galicia, with or without alcohol), and of course yummy tapas. The daily menu is also delicious and the service is superb!

Great food and friendly staff. The portions are not very big for the price but we would go again anytime.

I ordered different tapas for a special celebration and I was pleasantly surprised for the nice flavors. The cerdo iberico was exquisit and the sangria also very nice. Thank you for your service.. Highly recommended.

The food is great, as is the ambiance. But we always come again because the attentive Manager. Give that man a raise!

The food is super delicious and the good thing is that they didn’t change the prices in these 7 months. The service is also super good. They are the best. I highly recommend the restaurant :)

Delicious food and beautiful Ambiente and the staff will take good care of you ! I highly recommend 🥰 especially the vegan Paella is outstanding

Very friendly staff and good tapas.

Lovely food with reasonable portions, attentive staff and prices which you'd expect for the quality and location
