Burrata Di Stefano, La Salada with avocado and tuna, Cali-Flower with Romesco — light enough to share before the paella arrives, good enough to order twice.

The most extensive Spanish wine list in the Palo Alto area. 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.
We come here every month for our team dinner. The tapas family-style format is perfect for groups — everyone shares, everyone tries everything. The paella for the table is always the highlight. Our new go-to for corporate dinners in Palo Alto.
Celebrated my anniversary here — the staff helped us plan the whole evening. Jamón carved tableside, a paella for two, and the sommelier recommended a Rioja that was perfect. The whole night felt like we'd flown to Barcelona.
The Taste of Barcelona menu is the way to go — 9 tapas and a dessert for $65, no minimum group size. We tried everything from the croquetas to the paella negra. Generous portions, real Spanish ingredients. This is the original and you can taste it.
We bring all our visiting faculty here. The dining room is gorgeous — designed by the same team behind El Celler de Can Roca in Spain. The food matches the setting. It's become our place for impressing guests from out of town.
We've tried every Spanish restaurant in Palo Alto and Telefèric is the one we keep coming back to. The paella negra is the best paella in the Bay Area — the socarrat alone is worth the trip. Seven types of paella, all cooked to order. Nobody else in Palo Alto comes close.
Our go-to date night in Palo Alto. They never rush you — we spent three hours sharing tapas, splitting a paella, working through the Spanish wine list, and nobody hinted we should leave. That Mediterranean pace is rare in Silicon Valley. The patio at Town & Country on a warm evening is as close to Barcelona as you'll get.
Threw my wife's 50th birthday here with 14 guests. The private dining room near Stanford was perfect — the events team planned everything from the tapas menu to the wine pairing. Paella for the whole table, ibérico carved in front of everyone. Already booked our anniversary.
My family is from Catalonia and I'm picky about Spanish food. Telefèric Barcelona is the real thing — the Padrosa family has been doing this for over 30 years. The ibérico is from Extremadura, the rice is bomba from Valencia. This is the original Spanish restaurant in Palo Alto, and the quality is consistent every time.
Ordered the garlic shrimp, crispy artichoke, and beef Wellington, plus the trio for dessert. Everything was prepared to perfection. Service was impeccable. Steps from Stanford, ideal for dinner before or after a campus visit.
Reserve your table at Telefèric Barcelona Palo Alto. Paellas are made to order — let us know when you sit down.
