| Last reviewed: Jun 2026 A no-sign, no-reservations 1944 tavern where the bomba - the spiced potato-and-meat croquette with aioli and hot sauce - was invented and the recipe still guarded. Marble tables, market produce off the plancha, grilled sardines and chickpeas, scribbled bills. The most authentic counter in the fishermen's grid.
