Sunday, September 20, 2026, 11:00 PM - 1:00 AM · El Raval, South Lamar, Austin
The Austin Flamenco Academy performs live at El Raval this Sunday from 6 to 8pm, paired with dinner and drinks. Reservations are recommended given limited seating.
Named for Barcelona’s famously multicultural Raval district, this restaurant takes the same expansive view of the city’s food culture rather than sticking to a narrow definition of Spanish cooking. Wagyu paella, Moroccan-spiced tapas, Filipino escabeche, and even kare-kare share menu space, while a cocktail program from Barcelona’s celebrated Two Schmucks keeps the drinks equally adventurous. It feels less like a Spanish restaurant and more like a reflection of the city itself.
