Macarfi 6.5 Food Rating
Our verdict
This small place only serves four or five classic, simple tapas (all of them good), three wines, beers and vermouth. Why complicate things? Their specialities are fried fish, anchovies, tomato salad and the botifarra sausage skewer. All of excellent quality. Simple décor and loyal regulars, neighbourhood crowd. Kind staff that provides a professional service even when it’s full. A mandatory pit stop if you're in the area for a drink and a bite. The triumph of simplicity.

Tiny, classic, and lively; a historic no-frills tapas bar with a traditional, time-capsule feel and a strong local-after-work buzz.
