ANNA FERNANDES, 22, student, Marchmont, lists her top five Spanish restaurants in the Capital.

1 Barioja, Jeffrey Street. I love the atmosphere. It's really lively and there is great service too. Every time I have dinner here I feel a bit as if I've been to a party.

2 Dionika, Canonmills Bridge. It may not look like much from the outside but the food more than makes up for that. Try the Spanish cakes! I have regular cravings for them.

3 Tapas Tree, Forth Street. It concentrates on authenticity and as a result the food is great. It reminds me of being in Spain which, when it's cold outside, can only be a good thing.

4 La Tasca, South Charlotte Street. I know this is a chain but I come here all the time. It offers great Spanish food at reasonable prices. Like Spanish fast-food but much more delicious.

5 Rafael's, Deanhaugh Street. It has a great selection of Spanish wine. I often go here before a night out.
