La Nacional has been feeding Spaniards and Latin Americans in New York since the 19th century from its historical brownstone in the heart of what was Little Spain. Today, our volunteer-run non-profit has opened its doors to create a community restaurant and gathering place for everyone to enjoy. The Society sponsors the visas of Spain top young chefs - providing them with an apartment in our brownstone to draw inspiration from La Nacional’s past and establishing a culinary epicenter in New York City for Spanish food. Our goal is to offer diners innovative cuisine, reasonable prices and a neighborhood atmosphere for everyone.

The Restaurant at La Nacional is the catalyst for significant cultural and community programming that reflects the Society’s 155 year-old mission. This includes free or low-cost apartments upstairs for artists-in-residence and opening our event space on the parlor floor to community events, cultural pursuits and charitable causes.

    Both the paella y the fideuà were massive fails. Neither had so much as a single crispy, crunchy or toasty piece of pasta or rice. If you’ve come from Spain to bring America authentic paella and fideuà, you have wasted both your time and my money. Appetizers were great! The Sangrias were very poor renditions of classic drinks. Service swung back and forth between adequate and really poor.

    It was an amazing time that my girlfriend and I had. The menu was superb and the hospitality was bar none. There were a few mistakes and I just think it was because it was a busy night but everything was covered and communicated effectively. Definitely a great date night spot for young couples that want to share a bite or 5 lol!
