We could only get two stools at the bar which might likely have suited a more romantic and younger couple. Despite this setback due to a previous day in-person last minute reservation the food and ambiance was excellent. Must say despite the frantic activity the staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Our shared dishes were Grilled Sardines, Black Sausage (the best we've ever tasted), Cod Croquettes (nothing exceptional), Pimentos de Padron & Salad. The wine by the glass was good bit I'd skip the local region French style overly expensive Sauvignon Blanc and stick to Verdejo or other Spanish wines on offer. This is not a restaurant for a relaxing or a laid back evening. I don't think the servers feet ever touch the ground and the kitchen must be volcanic! Great value and well worth a one-off experience. Our meal €64.35 for 2 and like many tourists was rounded up to $65.00. We might be tempted to return but definitely only to sit at a table.

Bodegas Fila is an excellent place to head for, especially if you're planning a group gathering…read more When we were last here, there were quite a number of small groups, and the atmosphere was bustling and loud - even with no music. At the instruction of one of the hosts, we chose a bottle of wine from the shelves along the wall and took it to the bar where it was opened and glasses were poured from it for us. Not only is the wine selection very broad, but the prices are exceptional - only a little more than you'd pay if you were buying the wine directly from a supermarket! To pair with the excellent wine, we chose from the menu of simple tapas (ham, bread, olives, cheese, etc.). While the food is simple, the atmosphere, the friendly service, and the quality of the wine and food more than make up for it. Highly recommended!

At the first bite of my plain linguini with butter sauce, I dropped to the floor with ecstasy foaming out the mouth as I drooled onto the barren floor, the saliva of 1000 years of Italian gastronomical culture oozing from my mouth.

Before being introduced to this place, I had walked past it a million times without even noticing it. I always thought it was just a shop and didn't realise there was a small bar tucked away inside. What a joy to finally discover this hidden jewel! Now that I know what's inside, I come here to keep a Spanish tradition alive known as "La Hora del Vermut" (Vermouth Time). It takes place just before lunch and serves to whet your appetite before lunch, basically an aperitif! It may be known as Vermouth Time but you can drink whatever you like: beer, wine, soft drink etc. However, in this bar it is traditional to take advantage of their homemade vermouth (vermut casero) that goes for 1€ a glass. It goes down extremely well and you can't help going for multiple rounds! Also, apart from getting rather inebriated on premises you can also take some back with you. The traditional method is to come loaded with an empty bottle to be filled up but if you don't have one, they can provide you with one instead. It's a joy to see places that still maintain these old traditions; I remember back in the days being sent to our local bodega to get wine bottles topped up even before I was of legal age to drink alcohol... If you want to feel like a proper local, cross the river from the main part of town and venture into this neighbourhood with its own distinctive vibe and help us maintain these traditions well and truly alive and vibrant! Although, honestly, we are doing quite a good job of it already...
