Tinto was pretty much conceived on a honeymoon. Daniel and Tamara Chávez, the husband-and-wife duo who brought South America to Singapore, found themselves in Spain after getting married in 2020. They loved everything about the country—the food, wine and conviviality—and when a space opened up in Dempsey, there was no better time or place to make something out of it.
Think of Tinto as Singapore’s own Spain, with a name taken from vino tinto (Spanish for red wine) and lovely food prepared with unpretentious enthusiasm and pride. You know, tapas, paellas and more from a variety of regions, and a stylish atmosphere to match. It’s also just a stone’s throw away from their Peruvian restaurant, Canchita, which serves excellent ceviche, if you didn’t already know.
