About the restaurant

13 Gypsies is a cozy, intimate Spanish tapas restaurant. You can also find the influence of other cuisines throughout the menu. Primarily utilizing Spanish techniques to prepare both creative and classic renditions of Spanish dishes, Chef Howard and Chef Kevan operate a true craft kitchen. The two of them prepare and cook most everything from scratch including breads, cured meats, cheeses, sausages, spice blends, pickled vegetables, and desserts. This practice of making nearly everything in house promotes waste-free cooking and higher quality food. Our wines are mainly from Spain, and our beer is Florida local. We are located in a two-story Spanish-style building built in 1923 by Henrietta Dozier, Jacksonville's only female architect in the early part of the 20th century. You will find eclectic, maximalist religious iconography adorning the walls and original floor tile. We have few tables, so reservations are highly recommended. Last seating is an hour and a half before closing time.

Can I tell you how happy I am to get a Medure/Matthew's quality meal without having to suffer through the PV or downtown traffic? Douglas, our server, was so friendly and personable. It took a moment to adjust to eating a fine meal in a hospital, but it really was fantastic. We had the calamari, French onion soup, tonight's sea bass special, and the filet. All fantastic!!! Highly recommend!

Solid lunch experience at the bar. Amanda took good care of my friend and me. Adjacent patrons were polite and deferential regarding space. Amanda made solid creamy expresso martinis and made sure our food arrived timely. Highly recommend spot for lunch.
