It's a bar/lounge/restaurant that has become popular within Ibiza's in crowd. It has an excellent atmosphere, affordable gourmet tapas (starting at 8€) and great cocktails!

The music is excellent and every week there is a party going on.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19702 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19693 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19693 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19691 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19691 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19471 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19471 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19363 By the way, there is no seating, just take the tapas and the beer and have them outside.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19363 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19102 This place is fantastic with nice and original decorations but what is best is the particular taste they give to food, typical of south Italy. Tapas are free and you get the best Italian food with every drink.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19102 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18607
Inside it's decorated with painted Spanish tiles and you can see the food being prepared in the open kitchen. There's a range of typical tapas, seafood and meat dishes - it was good for children as they had some plain dishes like steak, grilled chicken or fish and also some more adventurous things including Paella.

It's tucked down a small street behind the ceramics museum in the Palacio Marques de Dos Aguas but is worth hunting out.

You can see my review and photos on my blog; heatheronhertravels.blogspot.com/2008/04/evening-out-with-angel-in-valencia.html]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18607 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18410
We were amazed at what we got - five courses of pure delight, all served with different drinks to wet the palette.

The owner Eduardo Phillips Blanco (you would be surprised to find out he is English, with that name) and head chef Michael Baering not only provided and served some of the best food we have ever eaten but also entertained us.

Our meal cost us 35 euros each and that was with all drink included, they do a deal with three tapas dishes and a bottle of vino for 15 euros most nights though.

Find them off the beaten track, near La Lonja, not the best setting but the restaurant is cool and funky and it hasn't copped on with the Spanish yet.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18410 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18406 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18406 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18313 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18313 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18241
A great cheap breakfast is to have tostada e queso (basically cheese on toast) standing at the bar with your coffee. It is always cheaper to stand at the bar.

The sights are things you will remember all your life. The Alhambra set under skies of impossibly deep Andalucian blue are something that have to be witnessed and make your soul sing when you do. Even flying into the airport with the sun sinking behind the Sierra Nevada was a stunning way to start the holiday.

I don't remember one surly, rude or just plain moody person. And I can meet five on a trip to the shops here. I could enthuse about Granada for hours so I will now stop....]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18241 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18239 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18239 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17951 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17951 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17787
The staff are friendly and you are just as welcome for a coffee and a browse of the paper, as for a leisurely meal over a few courses.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17787 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17453 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17453 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17397 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17397 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16905

This gourmet Andalusian restaurant, with great contemporary flair, is a second generation family-run business.

The good news is that everything on the menu can be ordered as a tapa. Current dishes include chicken liver pâté with pacharán sauce, ham and wild mushroom croquettes, pork fillet with rioja wine caramel and duck magret with honey and kalamansi sauce. Wonderful wines a- plenty too.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16905 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16807 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16807 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16536
Any of the tapas bars in the main plaza of Montanchez village serve platters of jamon, cheese and bread with the strong local wine pitarra, delicious!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16536 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16534 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16534
