The rambling dining rooms at the 'house of teaspoons' have been packing 'em in since 1786. The secret to this restaurant's longevity is a straightforward one: honest, hearty cooking and decent wine served at the lowest possible prices. Under huge oil paintings and a thousand signed black-and-white photos, diners munch sticky boar stew, tender pork with prunes and dates, goose with apples, partridge escabeche and superbly fresh seafood.

The best typical rustic Spanish cooking in a characterful setting. hard to find in all the tiny side streets but definitely worth it. Boar stew was spectacular; wonderful flavours and very filling.
