Signature drink: Natural wine by the glass
Food: Tartare and boards
Order: A tartare and a glass off the natural list.
Tip: It works better as a long early evening than a quick drink; the reading material on the shelves is there to be used.

Tip: Closed Sunday and shut by 21:30 even at the weekend, so treat it as an early-evening stop rather than a late one.

Signature drink: German beer and grappa
Food: Grill and pretzels
Order: A grilled steak with a stein of German beer.
Tip: The kitchen stays on until 02:00, which covers the gap after concerts and late films; there is an outdoor space for the warm months.

Signature drink: House-brewed lager
Food: Grilled meat
Order: The house lager alongside the grilled beef.
Tip: It took a Barcelona Beer Challenge gold for its Tuvixeddu; it sits out by the ring road, so it is a taxi rather than a walk from the Marina.
