Walls stocked with gourmet treasures – from paella pans and perfumes to seafood mousse and serrano hams – welcome Delicias de España's constant clientele, who adore this neighborhood bakery, Spanish import store, fish market and café for bringing the best of the motherland to South Florida. Execs stop in before work to feast on pastries and cured ham and eggs, while the tapas and daily specials draw a continuous stream of locals longing for authentic dishes at lunch and dinner. Fish flown in twice a week from Spain is expertly prepared, while non-Spanish speakers can simply point to their selections in the glittering dessert cases when words can't express how tempting they look. Delicias is also the premier location for more than 200 Spanish wines, artisanal cheeses, olive oils, chocolates and collectables. Beer and wine available. Serving breakfast and lunch daily, dinner Mon–Sat.

Best Spanish
Top 100 Restaurant, Miami
"Dishes are based on traditional Spanish cuisine and carefully elaborated ... with first quality ingredients."
– Delicias de España website
"Delicias is one hell of a great bakery, fish market, restaurant, and café. And that's just the half of it: The other half, accessible from indoors, is an extensively stocked Spanish-import shop with chorizos, cheeses, and more than 200 wines, sherries, and ports. ... The stock of imported gourmet products, both packaged and fresh, is ... upscale. Especially impressive are the artisan olive oils, unusual cheeses, and two brands of high-quality Serrano hams. At the popular café, customers generally line up for tapas and daily specials."
