LA CEPA BAR-RESTAURANTE
This is a place that we had really amazing croquetas, albondigas, and cheesecakes (a house specialty).

LA CUCHARA DE SAN TELMO
La Cuchara de San Telmo was by far the best place for tapas in the old part of town. This was not a pintxos bar; it specialized in hot tapas. Our favorites were “queso ahumado” – baked Caña de Cabra goat cheese with a crisp caramelized sugar cap and pesto sauce; fried pigs’ ears pancakes with jus; braised beef short ribs and plancha grilled foie gras. Everything was simply prepared with minimal ingredients, but managed to be decadent and satisfying, exactly the kind of food we like to serve at the restaurants.
