Exterior of bar with tiled panel, Bar Europa.

An old-school bar with a classic tiled interior and a few alfresco tables, Bar Europa has been knocking out tapas since 1925. Notwithstanding, it isn't afraid to experiment, and serves some excellent modern creations such as grilled mackerel with a strawberry and radish tartare, and sweet nut bread with foie gras, mushrooms and crunchy ham.
