About this spot
Pata Negra delivers an intense hit of Spanish flavor with their famous croquettes, which you must order the cod or ham variety for a perfect bite. Skip the starters and dive straight into the fried squid rings or anchovies in vinegar to experience the authentic tapas rhythm. The neighborhood vibe on Utrechtsestraat makes this spot feel like a bustling local tavern rather than a tourist trap.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the cold Spanish vegetable soup as your first course to warm up before tackling the heavy fried dishes.
- Expect to order multiple small plates to share, as the menu is designed for communal tasting rather than full entrees.
- Save room for the dates with bacon at the end of the meal; it's a sweet finish that pairs perfectly with Spanish wine.
