Bar Isabel

Croquetas de Jamón

Golden, crisp-shelled ham croquettes with an almost molten ibérico interior — the dish this restaurant built its reputation on

Pan con Tomate

Grilled bread rubbed with ripe tomato and good olive oil — executed with enough care to remind you why this is a staple

Jamón Ibérico

Thinly sliced cured ibérico ham, one of the better selections in the city for quality and sourcing

Gambas al Ajillo

Garlic shrimp in olive oil with a heat that builds slowly — simple, well-executed, and ideal for mopping with bread

Anchovies

High-quality salt-cured anchovies, served simply — the kind of dish that signals a kitchen that takes sourcing seriously

Patatas Bravas

Crispy fried potatoes with a smoky bravas sauce — a reliable version of the classic that holds up against the stronger dishes

Tortilla Española

Spanish egg and potato omelette, served at room temperature with a soft, just-set center

Whole Roasted Chicken

A simply roasted bird that punches above its weight — juicy interior, well-seasoned skin, good for anchoring a table of tapas
