AMADA STORY

Amada is Chef Garces’ iconic first restaurant. Since opening in 2005, the gorgeous rustic-chic restaurant and bar has embraced the rich traditions of Spanish cuisine from the Andalusian region. For Radnor, Amada’s spacious dining room features an open kitchen, a private dining room for special events and corporate functions, a stunning bar area reminiscent of a typical Spanish bodega, two outdoor patios, as well as ample space for large group dining.

Named after his grandmother who ignited Garces’ love for the kitchen at a young age, Amada was Garces’ first solo venture, which won him the James Beard Award for Best Chef Mid-Atlantic. Now, 15 years later, Garces brings Amada to the Philadelphia suburbs.

HOURS, LOCATIONS

Chef's modern take on Spanish tapas began in 2005 as one of Chef's first restaurants when he went out on his own.

Lancaster Avenue, Wayne, PA, and in Atlantic City at Ocean Casino Resort at 500 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, NJ 08401.

"Amada is near and dear to my heart," said Garces. "It was the very first restaurant I opened when I went out on my own in 2005. It is a great addition to the exciting and rapidly growing Main Line dining scene. We have so many Garces fans from over the years come join us in Old City, and now we are bringing the concept right to them in their own backyards."
