The building dates back to 1705. The food is great and very affordable. It’s not a restaurant, but rather a bar that serves four different tapas. We tried the mussels, bravas, and calamari — everything was amazing and full of flavor. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Even on our last order, when we only ordered drinks, they kindly offered us some tapas as a gesture. Such a nice touch! Excellent service overall.

Best patatas bravas in the world! If you visit Ponferrada, this is a must! Be ready to wait for a table, or you can have a drink and a free small tapa in the bar, as queues are always long. I would also recommend the Sangria de Cava, it’s really good
