Our verdict

Juan Monteagudo’s (Ababol) informal tavern pays tribute to his award-winning ham croquette. The casual menu blends Manchegan classics with global touches, featuring standout dishes like cod fritters, shrimp saam, poularde cannelloni and baked cheesecake. A well-priced lunch menu is available, along with a strong by-the-glass wine offering, with a special focus on local labels. The space is simple yet charming, with both high and low tables. A fresh take on tapas right in the heart of Albacete
