Paellas cooked to order, jamón ibérico sliced at the table, Spanish octopus — and 200+ Spanish wines from Catalonia.
Free-range Iberian pigs, raised on acorns in the Spanish dehesa. Cured 38 months. Imported from Spain and sliced to order — the closest thing to eating on a terrace in Barcelona.
Tangy potatoes, Brava sauce, aioli — crispy jamón optional. The dish that's on every table, every night. There's a reason it's been on the menu since day one.
Spanish octopus, slow-cooked to tenderness, finished with potato cream and Pimentón XO. One of the most requested dishes on the menu.
A fresh oyster served with chilled Salmorejo — the sea and the Spanish countryside in a single bite.
The Telefèric Market Salad with Marcona almonds and Manchego, Burrata Di Stefano, seared tuna over crispy garbanzos — light enough to share before the paella arrives, good enough to order twice.
🌱 Vegetarian options available · Ask your serverCanadian lobster, gulf shrimp and octopus — all cooked together in the traditional paellera until the socarrat forms at the bottom.

The most extensive Spanish wine list in the region. Every bottle selected by Catalonian sommeliers, from Albariño on the Atlantic coast to Garnacha from Priorat.
Our sommelier team is happy to guide you — just ask your server.
The paella arrived at the table and the entire dining room turned to look. That socarrat at the bottom is absolutely worth planning your evening around.
The jamón ibérico is the best I've had outside of Spain. They slice it tableside and the whole experience feels like stepping off a flight from Barcelona.
We've been going to Telefèric for anniversaries for three years. The Galician octopus and the crab croquetas are non-negotiable. The wine list is genuinely extraordinary.
Best Spanish restaurant in the Bay Area, no contest. The paella negra with squid ink is unlike anything else in California.
If you're looking for authentic Spanish tapas in Los Angeles, this is it. The patatas bravas are perfect and the sangria flight let us try everything.
We hosted our company dinner for 30 people here and the private dining experience was flawless. Our team is still talking about it two months later.
The lobster paella is the best paella I've ever had outside of Valencia. They don't rush it — 30 minutes to cook, and every minute is worth it.
My go-to for date night in Palo Alto. The Carajillo cocktail is dangerous — dangerously good. Started with pan con tomate, split the Ibérico paella, finished with churros.
Telefèric in Long Beach has become our family's birthday restaurant. The Ribeye Chuletón for the table is a showstopper.
Reserve your table. Paellas are made to order — let us know when you sit down.
