Hatful Of Hollow 0 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'm off to a Spanish tapas bar for my sister's birthday this week, and I don't really know what to expect, having never been to one before. So, are they any good? I'm going to El Coto, next to SJP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 They're canny. Nowt like the real thing but pretty decent. I think El Coto does Cruz Campo too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 El Coto is canny like. If you're going in a big group, get everyone to order a couple of things then it's every man for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Coto has a website but it appears to be down at the moment. Edited October 24, 2006 by Hatful Of Hollow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to La Tasca, El Coto and the other one whose name escapes me on the street that goes from the Quayside up to the Keep / High Level Bridge and I think they all have identical menus or, if not, very similar.

Optimistic Nut 9 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Ahhh, Cruzcampo. Could see the brewery where that was made from my flat in Jaen. Loved tapas there. You got them free with a drink where I was staying. Burger and a pint for €1.50...bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I quite like Tapas as you get the chance to poke about at a few dishes and it's a good accompaniment to beer. I have to say though I dont think its haute cuisine and I wouldnt do it if the emphasis was just on going out for a meal as a lot of it I reckon is pre packaged stuff. At least in LaTasca and the like. Some quality fresh regional stuff in the Spanish cities though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've reminded my of Barcelona there, Belfast it aint Aye, thats pretty much how I view it. If I've got a thirst on and want my stomach lining at the same time I think it's just the job. If I was doing it purely for the meal itself though I'd search out an independent one rather than a chain one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
