When the bar next door to his well-known Cafetería Donald became available in 2020, Mariano García didn’t hesitate. He immediately saw how well this location would work in tandem as a sister bar, especially with the ample sidewalk terrace and large windows that open onto the street. But rather than just open “Donald 2” he gave his new bar a unique personality, creating a space with a special “ambiente cofrade”, something close to his heart. Little by little the walls were filled with Semana Santa memorabilia, much of it donated to the bar by friends and various hermandades (brotherhoods) in the city.

The menu is short and sweet, with several favourite tapas from Donald, as well as fresh seafood and quality charcuterie. The house speciality is a garlicky marinated pollo frito that is superb. There is also a tapa del día and, if you do fancy something from the Donald menu, you can order it to be brought over. It’s a very welcome addition to the barrio and a place I keep going back to.
