Updated July 2024
\n\"\"<\/h3>\n

Braxas, opened in July 2022 by husband and wife team Lewis Colwell (chef) and Cristina Alfonso (front of house), specialises in all things char-grilled. The cosy and attractive restaurant is a stone’s throw from the Santa Catalina Church with both low and high tables inside and a small side walk terrace.<\/p>\n

Over a couple of visits we tried several tapas and got to sample Lewis’s charcoal wizardry with meat dishes cooked and\/or finished on the grill. All superb. In fact, we’ve enjoyed everything here. The ensaladilla comes topped with gorgeous plump king prawns in tempura (which also make an appearance in a salad with mango and sriracha sauce – next time). The steak tartare, as promised by Cristina, was exceptional, and both the jam\u00f3n and gamba croquetas (one of my “benchmark tapas”) more than passed the test.<\/p>\n

On the menu you’ll find plenty of char-grilled delights to choose from. Dry-aged Frisona beef takes centre stage but you can also opt for grilled octopus and fish, a 200-gram burger or a marinated sous vide coquelet that is finished on the grill. There’s a short but well-thought out wine list and service is personable and friendly.<\/p>\n
