Tucked along an ivy-clad medieval lane, El Borinot serves beautifully prepared seasonal cuisine with global accents, best enjoyed on the peaceful front terrace. Tuck into fish of the day with Asian-style veggies, fettuccini amatriciana (with bacon and tomato), Angus steak tacos, or refreshing salads of watermelon, bulgur and feta. Three-course lunch menus (€13.50) are excellent value.
