Food Scene

Personal recommendations to eat locally
Popular with locals and visitors alike, usually a queue to get a table, but worth the wait. Good value tapas (but not the cheapest). Consistent, reliable, friendly.

Amazing food!! Amazing wine!! A lovely deli/tapas wine shop/bar. A great selection of local produce, used to produce the best range of tapas and dishes of the day. Owner is multi-lingual and speaks excellent English and recommended perfect wines to complement the food.

Seafood heaven - great rices. They do not offer typical paellas, but real Spanish rice dishes. Better than the paellas available in other restaurants..
