What to order
Their tortilla is already something of a signature, and for good reason. Wonderfully soft in the middle, with caramelised onion, it’s hard not to order it every time.
The sandwiches are also a strong point (as the name suggests), and the menu includes a few more classic, comforting dishes. If you see the macarrones, don’t think twice. Rich, delicious, and true comfort food. They also do a lunch menu for a good price and if you want something quick, but I usually pick out items from their menu to share. For dessert I love the thick chocolate mousse with olive oil, salt, and hazelnuts.
The atmosphere
There’s a slightly vintage feel to the space, with cool little details. It’s casual, busy, a little loud, and very easy to feel comfortable in. Both of their locations have bar seating, which is great if you are dining alone.
