The french singer Edith Piaf has been the inspiration for this charming little place in Calle Buensuceso, an otherwise dark and quiet street trapped between Plaza de la Trinidad and Calle Puentezuelas. Over a few years this hidden tapas bar has still managed to work up quite the crowd of faithful customers. The secret is as follows: Absolutely WONDERFUL tapas with a french twist. Choose two varieties for your table, be it eggplant paté with garlic, Camenbert with jam, cheese gratinated potatoes or spanish ham on rustiqe bread. Eat and enjoy, while listening to yes, Edith Piaf, The Beatles or other classics.
Though quite a small bar with a chilled out environment, every thursday night around 22.00 the place more or less fills up for the popular knowledge quiz. Twenty questions of all different categories are read out in first french, then spanish. And if you win, round of tapas for the table, or even a bottle of wine!
Tuesday night is "Noche de los pisos", where you can come to either look for a place to live or for a new roommate to your apartment. In the case of not having any luck, the bar keeps a big book where you can write down your information and even attach photos.
New to the list of activities in Café Piaf is "Noches de Trueque", started up to help out in times of financial difficulties. This is an arrangement set up to organize exchange of goods and sevices with no money included. " An electric reparation for a massage, or a new video game in exchange for babysitting", is the motto. Stop by to check out the offers - or simply to enjoy the "can´t get enough of them" -tapas...

Os aconsejo que no vayáis...
ReplyDeleteA nosotros no nos quisieron poner las tapas porque decía que ya nos las habían puesto y que nos las habían cogido otras personas... ¿!¿!¿
Todo por ahorrarse 5 tapas...
Es un poco vergonzoso el argumento para no ponernos las tapas, pero bueno...
Lo dicho, que en Granada hay muy buenos sitios para tapear!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your comment. For those who dont speak spanish, this person had a negative experience with this place and recomend that we go somewhere else.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm actually living in Melbourne at the moment, which is quite far from Granada and plan to go to this place next summer. I know the owner very well as we are close friends and will forward your comment as soon as I see them. But I'm pretty sure it's a really nice place. The people holding this café are very friendly.
