Home-style local dishes like roast lamb, veal escalope and longaniza sausages are the speciality of this bustling upstairs restaurant. The menú includes wine but do give the homemade pacharán (sloe liqueur) a try too. Reservations highly advisable.
The ground-floor bar serves tasty raciones (€2.50 to €7) and bocadillos.
