The best restaurantsof spanish

17/07/2025: Excellent food spoiled by really poor service. We ate there in very warm weather, so we sat outside. Their outside tables are in the narrow passage way through Blackrock market, so pedestrians are passing uncomfortably close to you. The interior of the restaurant is dark and shabby, and in need of serious refurbishment. We were waiting almost 20 minutes before a waitress came to the table, and then it was to say that the kitchen was very busy and there would be a delay. We ordered pá amb tomáquet to keep us going. The bread in garlic and tomato was delicious. When the waitress returned to take our order, after another lengthy delay, they were out of 2 of the tapas we wanted. When the food eventualy came, nearly an hour after we arrived, it was very good. The patatas bravas were as good as any we have had in Spain. From what we could see, there were not that many customers in the place on the night, but there appeared to be only 2 staff working. They were very friendly, but completely unable to cope with the modest amount of customers in the place on the night. It should have been a really enjoyable evening, but the good food was ruined by totally inadequate service, which can't be justified given that the prices aren't cheap. (Despite the por service, they added a 12.5% service charge)
