Taberna Laredo

Frequented by an older and more upscale crowd, this is a sophisticated spot to dig into raciones with friends. These large plates of food are meant to be shared—we love the mussels marinated in the Canary Island’s mojo picon sauce, huevos rotos with panceta or Iberian ham, or tortilla de patata with artichokes. 

You can have a fancier experience with a reservation in the restaurant’s sit-down area, but we much prefer grabbing a high-top table in the bar area. Just get there earlyish (in Spain, that means 7pm) to snag one—and you may want to dress the part here, too
