Lola por Dios Alameda (sister bar to Lola Centro) has a prime location in the Alameda de Hercules and somehow both fits in and stands out in this buzzy barrio. There’s cosy tiled bar inside and an ample terrace out in the square.

Keeping it simple the menu offers good quality charcuterie and cheeses along with a selection of tasty traditional tapas. Be sure to try the whole deep-fried quail, either classic or spicy, and the “preñoa” de pringá is a gorgeous blend of texture and flavour. There are good local wines, sherry, vermouth and cold cold beer.

We arrived on a busy Sunday, got a spot in the bar section of the L-shaped space and sat at one of the tall tables. The other section is more of a dining area but the same menu is available at both, as well as out on the terrace. I was keen to try out the app ordering system, which didn’t work at first because they’d forgotten to turn it on at the cash register, but after that it worked fine, though it seemed a bit odd not to be flagging down the barman.

What Nueva Andaluz seems to do best are their fried fish dishes, judging by the fact that just about every person was ordering them, and they all looked fabulous. The pavía turned out to be our favourite dish as well – and great value too. The grilled lomo al whisky was a bit dry, though the sauce was tasty, and the gnocchi with parmesan and truffle oil tasted of neither, just chewy blandness in an equally bland cream sauce. But we liked the ambiance and would definitely go back for more fritos. Wine list was nicely varied and well-priced.

La Parrilla del Badaluque specialises in meat cooked Argentinian barbeque style (a la parrilla), and also offers an interesting variety of salads and starters, including a good selection of vegetarian options. Our only disappointment was the bruschetta, which was basically cheese on toast and a bit dull – for a better starter option try the empanadas. But the grilled meats are heaven and the parrilla for two at 25€ is both excellent value and totally stuffifying. A short & sweet wine list offers several decent wines by the glass at sensible prices.

Recently expanded and renovated without losing its cosy feel inside, there is also quite an ample terrace where you can take in the Alameda action. There has also been a change of name to help avoid confusion with El Badulaque pizzeria on the corner of calle Calatrava.
