Tinto Tapas Restaurant & Wine Bar 8.1
Washington Heights (North)
Vibes: Brunch Bliss Spots Date Night Magic Girls Night Out Approved Trendy Table Hotspots
Tinto Tapas Restaurant & Wine Bar is a Spanish-leaning spot in Hudson Heights where weekend brunch borrows from the tapas menu—think gambas al ajillo, tortilla española, and croquetas—with a serious wine list. It reads more like a sit-down brunch for sharing plates and cava than a pancakes-and-eggs café.
Must-Try Dishes: Gambas al Ajillo, Tortilla Española, Empanadas de Costilla

What makes it special: A Spanish tapas and wine bar that treats brunch like a long, shareable tapas session rather than an eggs-only meal.
Who should go: Brunch diners who prefer tapas, cava, and slower-paced meals.
When to visit: Early afternoon weekend seatings for a relaxed, unhurried brunch.
What to order: Gambas al ajillo, tortilla española, empanadas de costilla.
Insider tip: Build brunch by starting with tortilla and gambas, then add one richer plate per two people so the bill and portions stay in check.
