This tiny family-run bodega was founded in 1944 and is a true blast from the past. It’s always busy and popular with locals, so you may need to share one of the seven marble-topped tables with other diners. Apparently, Maria Pla, grandmother of the current owners, invented the ‘potato bomb’ in the Fifties, a deep fried ball of mashed potato and pork, now a classic Spanish tapa. But, it’s the artfully prepared fish that has people coming back for more here.
