Restaurant
Antonio Bar
The Centro pintxo room chefs slip into on their day off
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Open since 1995 just off the shopping streets of Centro, this three-table bar runs on precision more than volume: an immaculate tortilla, a chalkboard of hot dishes, kingprawn ravioli in Martini sauce and crisp oxtail. It sits outside the Old Town tourist churn and is widely cited as a chefs' favourite. Small, serious and worth the wait at the bar.
Editor's Tip
Stand at the bar, order the tortilla and the oxtail. Sundays closed; midday is the sweet spot.
