This is one matador that has no need for a bullfight, although they might be able to do something with a red tablecloth. Matador's cuisine is a fusion of contemporary Spanish and Latin flavors. The cuisine reflects its diversity through the eclectic Tapas menu, which features an array of influences including Spanish, Cuban, Asian and Middle Eastern.

Matador's food is made with the freshest ingredients, hand picked by the chef daily. The restaurant features a deep selection of Spanish wines, exotic cocktails and a Sangria Bar to complement the cuisine. Furthermore, there is live music throughout the week including Flamenco, Cuban, Brazilian and a DJ with a percussionist. Matador is unpretentious, eclectic and sexy. Doesn’t that sound like somewhere you should visit?

Here at Matador, owner and operator Alexis Fernandez has partnered with his mother Miriam to serve Spanish cuisine with world influences. Miriam, who emigrated from Cuba to run a family-owned restaurant in Madrid, has been very helpful in applying her restaurateur experience and cultural influences. Alexis's concept for opening his restaurant stemmed from his family's business, but he quickly expanded on the idea, bringing together his architectural design studies and experience in the New York hospitality world in order to create what is now Matador.

Alexis describes Matador as a dining experience, unpretentious, yet honest, providing simple funky sexy food with the highest of ingredients and always conscious of the owners’ roots and of the restaurant’s West Village address.
