It serves meats with rice and salad and there is an upstairs seating area as an alternative to a take-away option.

One of the popular bars in the area is Iposa, behind the Boqueria food market. It is small with low ceilings and wooden stools. In evenings it is filled with music and an enjoyable balance of youngsters and old regulars.
