Misa de 12

Top choice in Andalucía


Grab a table overlooking the plaza or hunker down in the cosy interior to sample a succession of truly succulent platters – from perfectly grilled slices of presa ibérica (a tender cut of Iberian pork) to revuelto de pulpo y gambas (eggs scrambled with octopus and shrimp). Despite the place's wild popularity, staff are unfailingly attentive and efficient.
