This is creative decoration taking to the next level - an experience in itself just to sit and look around. Here are no symmetry or minimalism, and everywhere you look you will find new details. In top of that the food is delicious, the service is friendly and you can try such exotic dishes as zebra, camel and kangaroo.

As this is not right in downtown, you'll find very few tourists here and a more local experience. It's mainly based on food for home-cooking, but ready made tapas can be found as well. Enjoy a walk around the many colourful stalls in this cozy market, that also includes non-food stalls. Note that the market is closed on Sundays.

The place itself is not too big, more like cozy I would say.
What got me to return every time is the different "tapas", for their quality/taste and their presentation, which in my opinion is top notch!
The place is always full so make an appointment I would say.

It has a nice "terraza" in Calle Tudescos, 20 meters from Gran Via. If you want to eat true Chinese food or drink a cold beer in a nice open-air environment, this is great. You will be pretty near everything that Gran Via has to offer but will be able to have your caña peacefully.
