Ernesto Malasaña’s La Niña Bonita first opened as an abacería (a small food shop with a bar) but these days functions as an annex for his original bar on calle Calatrava, Bar Antojo. The Equipo MpuntoR empire also includes Perro Viejo and Perrochiko near Plaza Encarnación, as well as Pez Tomillo, a beachfront bar in Málaga. Seis (his sixth enterprise) is located in the Hotel Inglaterra.
The decor at La Niña Bonita reflects the period of the original, which first opened in 1931. As mentioned, the menu is the same as Bar Antojo across the street, and food is brought over for you from there, with the exception of cheeses and charcuterie. It’s a cosy and comfortable little bar serving some lovely wines by the glass, and the service is very friendly.
