Bold,
globally-inspired tapas

Anything but expected. Always delicious. That’s Oveja Negra.

Tucked inside Hotel Valencia Santana Row, Oveja Negra, or “black sheep,” celebrates creative unruliness — with fresh, irreverent tapas and shareable plates inspired by bold, global flavors — and the handcrafted cocktails and wines to match.

In Spain, sobremesa means lingering at the table long after the meal ends. We couldn’t agree more. Join us in our stylish indoor space or al fresco on our beautifully lit courtyard. Order another tapa. Sip a just-poured cocktail. Share the paella. Pass your plate. This is delicious food, drink, and time worth savoring.
