What People Are Saying About El Faro Restaurant

In Short – Spanish senoritas painted on the walls lend an air of the Mediterranean to this eatery. Customers can share a selection of tapas or choose their own entrees while splitting a pitcher of sangria. The vegetable paella, served hot with carrots, is a popular lunchtime item; the menu boasts a variety of red and white Spanish wines.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- The tortilla espanola is only available after 4pm.
- The Extras:
- With their Express Takeout, you do not have to get out of your car. Just call them with your cell phone and they will bring your food to your vehicle.
If You like Live Music and Entertaining Show after Dinner...

After a great dinner at El Faro, a great place to go is The Griffin to Michael Fredo's Wednesday night party. They have a great show and an open bar from 8-9:30. Free admission too. Michael Fredo with The Benny Reid Ensemble is a great Jazz/ Ratpack show. 50 Gansevoort @ Greenwich

Best paella anywhere.
by greatfavad
My first meal at El Faro was in 1969. Nothing but a few of the waiters have changed since. The bar is still terriffic, shrimp in garlic sauce with great bread and a pitcher of margarita will get you going. Still the best paella in North America let alone New York City. Standard meal for 38 years. Paella Valenciana (not with lobster) , lobster in white sauce, and if you have room, pork in almond sauce. Everything is perfect and will have you coming back for 38 years too. Get the fresh potato chips instead of rice. Enough rice in the paella and it can't be topped.
