#4 on the Philly Mag 50
Serrano ham and aged manchego cheese with sweet and savory condiments; bite-size bacalao croquettes topped with American sturgeon caviar; parmesan-dusted baby artichokes baked to melting creaminess; robust white bean stew with escarole and chorizo; pizza-like flatbread topped with fig jam, Spanish blue cheese and shredded duck: You won’t find a truer taste of Spain in Philadelphia. The clientele looks to be the same well-heeled, well-groomed crowd that frequents Buddakan and Barclay Prime. Here, they surge into a loud, lively front bar. Beyond the open kitchen is a second bar and dining area, quieter and with moodier lighting, better suited to conversation.

This place is awesome! We loved the Duck Confit flatbread - it's a must try! The atmosphere is calming yet springs to exciting when the Flamenco dance begins. Amada is far and away the best tapas/spanish restaurant we have ever experienced!

I was there once. I didn't see any reason to revisit this place. The food was unmemorable. This place doesn't hold a candle to Ansill's.
