El Cortijo de Pepe

Another classic tapas bar that’s been a feature of Plaza de la Merced ‘forever’. The menu includes well-known staples such as ensaladilla rusa, croquettes, gambas al pil-pil and cold cuts, while the house specials are a little more adventurous and include some good veggie options too. Perch at the long bar or sit in the ‘salón’ or outside on the terrace that’s pleasantly shady in the summer.
