Red awnings signal the entrance to this glass-fronted Pier 5 restaurant. Serving up a variety of small bites alongside larger format dishes (paella, anyone?) that are cooked to order and intended for sharing, a crowd of tourists and locals speaks to its wide appeal. Close on the heels, the menu format is ideal for groups with a number of shareable plates, like croquetas de pollo, or crisp chicken croquetas crusted with chicharrónes; and pulpo a la parilla, or wood-grilled octopus with pimenton confit potatoes.
Inventive desserts, like lollipops of Manchego cheese with white chocolate straddle the line between sweet and salt and are not to be missed. An ample selection of Spanish wines and unique cocktails are an excellent match for the tapas.
