Modern and characterised by good wines and polite service, this is an reliable central restaurant in the heart of a fertile eating zone. The tapas and starter portions are all really tasty, with delicious ensaladilla, tempura vegetables and tuna tartare among some of the delights. Rices are a great option, and there are also pizzas and sizeable steaks by weight.
