This has gone totally viral on Spanish (gastro) twitter.
A unique bar just like all the others.

inPaul is back in town this week, and is very generously offering to be the “auxiliary stomach”, helping out with some Tapas Research. For the most part tapas bar visits are 2-stomach affair, a few tapas can be sampled and that’s fine, especially for updates. But some restaurants clearly require 3-or-4-stomachs, such as the fabulous Restaurante La Peña, in order to be able to sample a good selection of what they have to offer. And so we found ourselves on the edge of Nervión today and I have to say we had what will probably end up being one of the best meals of 2024.
I’ve known Mario (manager and front of house) forever and so when he opened La Peña back in 2019 with chef Alejandro I was there! And I was also there to update a couple of years later… but you know… it’s a bit of hike from the centre (but well worth it – and the metro tram drops you off five minutes away)… also it’s mostly a restaurant. There are a few tapas but you really want to go there with a full-on appetite and – at least – three stomachs.
And so we feasted and feasted and afterwards walked back (about 45 minutes or so) stopping for a penúltima at Las Teresas before finally getting home around 7.00 pm. Now THAT’S a proper lunch.

inI admit I chuckled when I was served this the other day. And when I pointed out the obvious to the barman he said “omg, let us make you another one for your photos!”. I said it was fine as I wasn’t planning to post it anywhere… but then I did. I didn’t mention the bar’s name but wrote that this was a case when the term #foodporn was justified. And my god, it’s turned out to be my most “liked” Instagram post ever (330 and counting) with lots of comments too. Not sure what this says about my followers though… 😅
