Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

We think TINTO offers a strong Spanish dining experience, with many reviewers drawing favourable comparisons to authentic Spanish cuisine.

The tapas selection, though not extensive, is consistently praised, with the Tosta Ramona (anchovy toast) and Gambas Al Ajillo (prawns in garlic oil) frequently highlighted as must-orders.

The service receives universal acclaim, with staff noted for their attentiveness and proactive hospitality, even going the extra mile to enhance the dining experience.

While some found the croquettes a bit too creamy, the overall consensus points to flavourful dishes and quality ingredients.

The paella, particularly the Paella Negra, is a standout, lauded for its balance and crispy socarrat.

We'd recommend asking for their house-made sambal belacan to accompany the paella for an elevated experience.

Best for groups, but also suitable for dates, TINTO is a reliable choice for Spanish food in Singapore.

What customers say

TINTO at Dempsey Hill is highly praised for its authentic Spanish cuisine, with many customers comparing it favorably to experiences in Spain.

The Gambas Al Ajillo, Tosta Ramona (anchovy toast), and Paella Negra with its crispy socarrat are frequently highlighted as must-try dishes.

Service is consistently described as attentive, thoughtful, and warm, with specific mentions of staff like Calvin going above and beyond.

While pintxos are delicious, customers note they can be quite filling due to the bread base.
