Casa Alberto review Rate it
One of the city's most evocative old tabernas, hung with oil paintings and presided over by a septuagenarian. It still has its old zinc bar complete with running water trough to keep the wine cool and a draught beer head with five founts. Try lambs' trotters, garlicky prawns, chorizo in cider or oxtail stew as tapas, or as more substantial dishes in the restaurant at the back.

Comments & ratings
alberto's might be old, but the cooking is suprisingly bad. The lambs knuckels are bones with a little fat. The lamb chops were below standard. The croqettes are fine, but that is all there is to say.
Excellent place for a meal and I recommend you go for tapas by the bar as the waiters are really friendly.
Do try the padron (fried green papper) and oxtail. For something local and nice, you have to have a glass of vermouth.
