Just over the bridge and close to Cuatro Postes, El Almacen is a classy place that does the usual hearty meat dishes but there are some surprises (eg sirloin with grapes and truffles) and it's all served in a fresher, more contemporary setting. It's good at any time, but come for dinner to see the floodlit walls in all their glory.
