Alba Restaurante Español – Head Office

Alba Restaurante Español has been the Philippines’ home of traditional Spanish cooking, satisfying generations of discerning food lovers enamored by the enticing flavors of Castilian cuisine. The restaurant was founded by Señor Anastacio de Alba who is an origin of Avila, Spain.

He is the man behind the famous Spanish restaurants, Patio de Alba, La Mancha, and Casa Colas. Señor Alba has indeed proven his culinary craft and artistry to many families in the country.

Alba continues to offer, not only its well-loved dishes, but a cherished tradition as well, the restaurant being an icon in the local dining scene. Señor Alba, together with son Chef Miguel are the culinary masters behind Alba. The father-and-son team’s culinary passion is reflected in the taste and flavors of cuisine that has been perfected through the years.

The cuisine is uniquely Alba’s. Top on the list is the much-sought-after paella, which has found its way from Valencia, Spain to the kitchens all over the globe, including Alba’s, thanks in no small measure to Don Alba who popularized this one-pot dish in our local shores. There are 18 different paella varieties at Alba’s, considered the widest array in town. From the classic Valenciana to new flavors such as Verde for vegetarians and practically everything else in between (Negra, Filipino, de Pato, Pollo Finas Hierbas, de Verduras, de Gambas, Arroz a la Regencia, de Cordero, Marinera, de Bacalao, de Langostinos, de Cangrejo, Tuhod y Batoc, Setas y Pesto, and Fideua). Other favorites are Spanish mainstays such as Callos, Lengua, Cochinillo, and a wide assortment of Spanish entrees and desserts that guests can feast on.
