Recently opened (June 2010) this small and cheerful restaurant/bar located at the far end of the Alameda serves up some very innovative and tasty tapas at very reasonable prices. You’ll find a two large blackboard wall menus – one for tapas and raciones, the other for wines – with a changing market menu. Specialities include the vegetable tempura and parmentier de carrilladas, along with traditional dishes like a tender pulpo a la gallega and huevos rotos with black pudding and truffle. I can’t wait to go back!

This tiny bar & kitchen produces some very fine seafood dishes at very reasonable prices. Although there is only room for a few stools inside the bar, there is an ample terrace and also a dining room across the plaza that seats about 40 people. The service is friendly and efficient, and there is a nice selection of wines by the glass. The zamboriñas and bacon-wrapped langostines were two of my favourites, but really, I thought everything I tried was exceptional.

Last year I fell in love with a small Portuguese food shop & bar that had opened up on the calle Feria and was at first dismayed earlier this year when I saw that it had closed. But it turned out they had just moved to bigger and better premises (at the far end of the Alameda, near the theatre) and had expanded into a proper restaurant & bar including a charcoal bbq in the kitchen. As with the smaller shop you can find a wonderful selection of Portuguese food products and wines, including fresh organic produce. There is also a wide selection of take-away options. Or you can stay and eat on the premises.

I recommend the latter. It really is a “taste of Portugal” and the atmosphere is very comfortable and relaxed.  Service is efficient & friendly, and you will also find a very interesting selection of Portuguese beer and wine on the menu. Bom Apetite!
