Casa Roman
Reputed as having the best jamón serrano and caña de lomo in town. I certainly don’t remember ever having better caña de lomo (cured pork tenderloin) anywhere else. Also fabulous FAT olives and delicious fried bacalao (salt cod). The grilled pork ribs are also very tasty. Very friendly service and although situated in a very touristy area you’ll find plenty of locals there too.
When I was there once with a group of visiting friends, one of whom was vegetarian, the fabulous Curro (waiter extraordinaire) suggested that they put together a special platter of various salads and grilled veg (aubergine and courgettes) and it was wonderful.
The views from the outside terrace are gorgeous … lovely street scenery as well as a beautiful square full of orange trees just in front.
