Bodeguita del Chato

Tapas, vermouth and wines · Casco antiguo

Must try

Homemade vermouth with the house aperitif, burrata with pesto, cheese and cured meat boards and tuna tapas.

About

Small, cosy bar in the old town for a vermouth with a good tapa (Guía Repsol). Creative tapas, cheeses and cured meats and a good wine selection; run by its owner, Lucía.

Good to know

It is very small: book or go early. Some customers find the portions small for the price (especially the focaccias).

Getting there and parking

In the old town: come on foot.
