Stepping into this charming tavern, with its cozy and welcoming atmosphere, felt like travelling back in time to Spanish history.
At Bodegas el Maño, the vermouth immediately set the tone for an authentic dining experience. It is the perfect aperitif, leading to exploring an array of dishes that were a testament to the establishment's commitment to excellent Spanish food. The patatas bravas are served with a perfect balance of spice, making the dish bold and inviting.
However, the croquetas are what truly stood out for me. Their creamy interior, combined with a golden, crispy shell, offered a taste of home-cooked perfection that could only be found in the heart of Spain. Each bite was a delightful blend of flavors, making them an unforgettable part of my gastronomic journey.
What makes visiting Bodegas el Maño truly memorable isn't just the food, but the atmosphere as well. The staff's friendliness and efficiency make you feel welcomed and valued, adding a personal touch to your dining experience. For anyone seeking to immerse themselves in authentic Spanish flavors, this tavern is a must-visit.
