Amalia is a Jing'an-based bridge for China-Spanish relations with equal emphasis on an approachable Spanish food and drinks menu for people who might be new to the genre, and an atmosphere that is warm and inviting -- and leans into the party. The venue offers casual communal dining, bar seating, a requisite wine cellar, and a VIP room (replete with KTV) in a Spanish style that shows off African and Arabic influences in the artwork a bit. It's nice. It's casual. It's comfortable. The kitchen is run by the former Sous Chef of Jean Georges and the menu is seasonally changing, and currently emphasizing hot tapas dishes (50rmb-150rmb), fancy cuts of pork (88rmb-168rmb), and some upscale paella options for winter (138rmb-198rmb). Traditional flavors in a casual environment. Live flamenco performances Thursday to Saturday.
