Long before you reach the front door, delicious smoky aromas greet you at this ever-popular Velez Rubio lunch spot. Formally dressed old-school waiters proffer plates of olive oil-drizzled roasted peppers stuffed with capers and anchovies, followed by massive fire-grilled steaks, pork cutlets and lamb chops. On weekends you'll need advance reservations for a table in the cavernous circular dining room.
