El Borriquito

El Borriquito is the place to be if you love noisy, drawn-out dinners that turn into boozy parties. Bring a big group and book a late table (no earlier than 9pm), preferably on the weekend, so you can see some live music.

Share tapas like pimientos de padrón and fried calamari from a platter of mixed starters before moving on to heftier plates of grilled fish and meat. By the time you’re on your second bottle of Rioja, the band will likely be belting out the Gipsy Kings rendition of “Volare”. This place stays open until 3am during the week and 5am on Fridays and Saturdays.
