A high-ceilinged, hanging-ham institution on the corner of 31 de Agosto, Gandarias is a dependable anchor of any pintxo crawl. The signature is solomillo a la plancha: a bite of grilled aged sirloin on baguette with a fried Padrón pepper and flaky salt. A full traditional restaurant sits behind the bar for those who want to linger.

Editor's Tip

The solomillo is the order; the back dining room is a fine fallback when the bar is three deep.
