"When you see the gigantic Spanish flag waving outside, you’ll know that you’re in the right place. La Nacional is located inside Chelsea’s Spanish Benevolent Society, and the Spanish culture is on full display here. It’s also one of the best value restaurants on this list, getting a table is reliably easy, and they make three different preparations of shrimp (in olive oil, in a seafood salad, and in the paella) that we’d happily eat on repeat for the rest of our lives. Come with a big group and split the paella, making sure everyone gets a bit of that speckled socarrat." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
