bar antojo

Updated September 2017

Ernesto Masalaña has been expanding his ever-growing empire over the past few years, which began with the creation of Bar Antojo in 2011 – a delightful setting for his eclectic mix of homespun and fusion tapas. The tapas and media raciones are very reasonably priced and excellent quality, and there are over 20 wines available by the glass. Overall a great atmosphere and a selection of tapas which has something for everyone (though they need to do something about the noise level). Favourite dishes are the leeks au gratin, the “bacalao al carbón” and the very decadent fried eggs and potatoes with grilled foie.

These days Ernesto and family are running Equipo Mpuntar, comprising Bar Antojo and La Niña Bonita (just off the Alameda on Calatrava street) and more recently Perro Viejo and Perrochiko in the city centre. His newest venture Seis is due to open this month (September 2017). Outside of Sevilla you can find a similar menu to Bar Antojo at Pez Tomillo in Pedregalejo, Málaga.
