Génova Cafe Bar

Updated June 2014

Location, location and location… Génova Cafe Bar has all three. And over the past year or so since it opened, Génova has been working at establishing itself as a “non-touristy” tapas bar in the middle of Tourist Central.

The bar inside is on two levels, with a half-floor mezzanine. There’s plenty of space and light, and I like the backlit “shuttered window” effect on one wall, as well as the old photos of the “antigua calle” (Génova was the medieval name for Avda de la Constitución). The terrace with little tables under the parasols and orange trees that line the avenue has a cosmopolitan charm and I’m pleased to say that Génova has totally got it right with their well-trained staff.

The menu offers salads, chacinas (cured meats and cheeses), a small but eclectic mix of specialities, hamburgers and sandwiches, some traditional meat and fish dishes as well as sushi and a daily lunchtime paella. There are also daily tapas specials and a weekday lunchtime fixed menu. The food is generally quite good, and we particularly enjoyed the grilled presa Ibérica with teryaki sauce and also the “broken eggs”.

  1. Nice that they translate your post and put it on their website…but with a slight difference: the bread charge surprisingly changes into 0€ 🙂

  2. Excellent place to eat a real high quality food for very average price. The food and the service where one of the best I’ve had in Spain, and I’ve been in a lot of places there. 5 stars.

    P.S – if you like Sushi – order it as a tapas as well. It was perfect.
