Aventura

"Sophisticated without being stuffy, this tapas spot is a great way to show off how cultured Ann Arbor is to your East Coast parents while also getting the most out of your once-a-semester free meal. Bacon-wrapped dates with chorizo and some heavenly patatas bravas stand out for us, but honestly it’s hard to go wrong. Sava’s got this city on lock. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"The best of Spain awaits diners at this gorgeous downtown spot. Chef Raul Cob has been recognized as one of the top paella chefs in the world and his team serves five different kinds of the popular rice dish. The menu also features an all-Spanish wine list that perfectly complements their full line of tapas, pintxos, and other Iberian delicacies." - John Reyes

"Folks in Michigan looking to indulge in a legit serving of Spain’s quintessential dish paella need to look no further than chef Raúl Cob." - John Reyes

"A romantic evening in Spain is on many a bucket list, but a visit to this downtown spot is considerably easier. Aventura’s authentic pintxos, tapas, and paella are served by an attentive staff in a gorgeous, historic space. Innovative cocktails and an all-Spanish wine list complete the experience." - John Reyes

"Red and white sangria are on the menu in Ann Arbor’s swanky Spanish bar. In true tapas style, a party can order a pitcher of either flavor for the table. Sangria by the glass is also available during happy hour from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays." - Alexandra Schmidt
