Story

Chef Roberto Pestana and his wife Marina opened the doors to Espana in 2004 and quickly established a reputation for one of the best restaurants on Amelia Island. Today we maintain this traditional menu approach to the cuisine Amelia Island residents and tourists alike have come to know and love.

We are located in the charming historic district of Fernandina Beach, a quaint Victorian coastal town in north Florida. Our restaurant features an expansive garden patio for a romantic outdoor seating experience, in addition to our in-house dining. We now feature in-house dining for special events in the historic Salvador house adjacent to the legacy restaurant, as well. Please let us know if you would like to reserve a dinner in our beautifully appointed property

We prepare our famous paellas in traditional cooking pans imported from Spain. We take great pride in our recipes from our travels to Spain and Portugal to bring their flavors to your table. We use only the freshest ingredients! Be sure to accompany your meal with fine wine recommended by our staff wine specialist. Also be sure to try our homemade sangria!

Please be assured that we will do everything possible to make your evening special and memorable
