Something between a traditional and “gastro” bar, with a dash of corner store thrown in, La Chunga is a very pleasant eating experience a little outside the normal tapas trail. It has two smallish dining areas, one at each end of a ‘U’ shaped public space around the kitchen and bar, with lots of light and a charming modernist decor. There is also a small sidewalk terrace.

The tapas menu is nicely varied, and there are several good wines by the glass at around 3€. You can skip the “caesar” salad, but the solomillo al whisky is one of the best I’ve ever had. The fried fish option changes daily and each one I’ve tried – boquerones al limón, chocos fritos, cazón en adobo – has been excellent. Lovely crunchy croquetas too.

Attentive staff and generally just a friendly feel-good atmosphere.
