French tapas and quiz at Café Piaf

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...

Tapas with desserts at El Reventaero

In Calle Gonzalo Gallas, right off Plaza Einstein, you can find one of those tapas bars that almost has it all: El Reventaero. With lots of seating and quick, efficient table serving, this is a hotspot for students and other tapas cravers. Here you are able to choose which tapas you want with your drinks; up to two different sorts per table. The list of choices is varied and contains hamburgers, calamares, grilled meat, typical spanish dishes and numerous bocadillos (spanish sandwich) as well as vegetarian options. The hamburgers are big, and the potatoes with alioli are delicious.

As a special treat, this tapas bar throws in DESSERT for those who have the urge, which you can ask for with your second round or later. Usually you can pick your favorite here as well: do you fancy a chocolate cake, a flan (pudding) or perhaps strawberry? The desserts are not the biggest, but come in addition to your pick of tapas for the round. There is only one trick: If you don’t eat your dessert, you pay for it!

If you’re planning to visit the Reventaero, it can be wise to pick your day. Popular and busy as it is, a late Saturday night is not the best time if what you’re looking for is a quiet break in a cosy environment. The environment is cosy enough, but in rush hour the bar appears a bit like a diner, with big, hungry groups of friends having the waiters run warm. There’s even a sign saying “ask for the bill at the table, or else we go crazy!” That being said – El Reventaero is popular for a reason.
