One of the joys of moving house is an opportunity to explore a new neighbourhood in more detail. Which back in 2017 (together with a recommendation) brought me to renew a long-forgotten acquaintance with Restaurante El Manijero. And I’ve been back many times since. Typical and traditional, El Manijero has been around for a long time, with a restaurant-dining room on one side, and a bar-tapas area on the other, with something of a bull-fighting theme. There are also a few tall tables out on the sidewalk.
The bar staff have also been there forever and are friendly and chatty, and the tapas are great, with cheese-filled breaded mushroom and fried chicken coming top of the bill. But don’t forget the garlicky cauliflower, and also make sure to check out the daily specials. It has definitely become a neighbourhood favourite.
