WHY GO

TATLER TIPS
"Pintxo" in Basque means pierced. A morsel is pierced with a toothpick to a piece of bread, distinguishing it from tapas. There is a whole section in the menu devoted to pintxos. Try it. You won't regret it. Especially with a drop of red. After you've finally located the restaurant, waste no time and order the chorizo-laden fabada. The rabo de toro, the baby eels, and the bistec a la plancha drip with goodness and flavour. The jamón serrano, brocheta, and tortilla patatas y chorizo are scrumptiously bite-worthy.
