Amada - Philadelphia, PA

Amada is not a typical, trendy tapas restaurant. It is something else entirely.

Amada serves authentic Spanish tapas based on the earthy, Mediterranean flavors that have long been the passion and expertise of founder and executive chef, Jose Garces.

With its unique position as between Africa and Europe and its dual Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, Spanish tapas dishes incorporated a wealth of flavors, from charcuterie to bean casseroles, vegetables, calamari and other fruits of the sea. This tapestry of flavors along with 800 years of tradition give Chef Garces ample opportunity to create dishes that excite his guests no matter how many times they return.
