We had the tapas - Jamon, Frito de Pan and Stuffed Piquillo Pepper. Both were very good. Next we shared the Fremantle Octopus- tender and tasty. Our “desert” was the Shaved Cabbage Ensalada - outstanding! The Sangria was one of the best I have had, even in Spain. Service was excellent.

Food was creative and delicious 😋 It's not cheap but the preparation and presentation was worth the extra money.

One of my favourite city bars. Small and cozy Tigra, is great for chats and nibbles, with tasty tapas plates and a solid wine list, plus you can get the cocktails from the upstairs, supremely funky, cocktail bar, Disco Pantera, delivered down to you! If I'm meeting someone city-side, Tigra is always top of my list as a starter. And you can end the night up in DP.
