Los Gatos
Located in the popular Plaza Uncibay, you might not spot it at first through the crowds of people either trying to squeeze in or filling the stools outside.
One of the most popular restaurants in the city and for good reason: simple Spanish food done well, whether meat or fish.
Given that it’s always so busy, make sure you’re not just popping in for a quick bite – you’re in it for the long haul here, especially as most dishes come in ‘ración’ sizes (ideal for sharing!)
Arrive at ‘guiri’ time to make sure you get a table or reserve in advance.
Also, if the waiters suggest dishes to you that aren’t on the menu, be sure to ask about the price beforehand to avoid any unpleasant surprises!
P.S. The décor can be best described as ‘unique’.
