É muito mais do que um café. Na verdade, este é um restaurante que é bem suficiente para ter recebido uma estrela Michelin no que toca a sua criatividade e seu moderno estilo de cozinhar. As especialidades da casa são o bacalhau preparado numa variedade de formas e paté de fígado pato. Existe uma ementa gastronômica e uma excelente adega. O restaurante foi construído em cima das ruínas de um antigo convento perto do Teatro Real, e tende a ficar bem cheio depois dos espetáculos nos domingos à tarde, quando os terraços externos são bastante concorridos.
Este é um lugar onde a gente não precisa hesitar sobre o que eles vão beber. Não há escolha. O bar serve apenas cerveja, e é de boa qualidade. Você está num lugar bastante amplo com mesas de madeira num lado e um gigantesco bar de zinco do outro onde pode sentar-se em paz para desfrutar as deliciosas tapas. Experimente o saboroso berberechos (berbigão), camarão, atum, ou anchovas com tomate. O serviço é rápido e amigável, e há sempre uma boa atmosfera entre o público que vem para o almoçar e jantar.

For outstanding value, visit Con Dos Fogones at lunch, when a prix fixe menu will get you your choice of a drink, appetizer, main, and a great selection of desserts - just make sure you arrive hungry!
