Ran by the hotelkeeper Sixto Tovar Gutierrez, this bar has one of the most successful kitchens around. Their scrumptious tapas are interesting and sure to entice your palate with their flavorsome aroma. The Rioja-style potatoes, Salmorejo (thick vegetable dip), homemade stews, Roquefort croquettes and sirloin with Cabrales cheese (similar to Roquefort) are very delicious and must-tries from the menu. In addition, there are many delicious wines. Make sure to drink the Castillo de San Diego very cold; it is an ideal white wine to accompany the seafood.
