Bruschetta at a stand-up counter

Hours: Daily from 9am to about midnight
Address: Calle Candilejo 1

Tiny and almost chairless, so you eat pressed against the counter. It is full all day; just before lunch or late at night is calmer. The jamón bruschetta is the signature, and the white one with gorgonzola, mascarpone and walnuts comes up often in reviews. Sun-dried tomato carpaccio and salmorejo round out a quick meal.
