  1. A

    Soccarat Paella Bar

    A cozy, narrow room dominated by a glass-topped communal table, Soccarat is famous for its heavenly, saffron-scented paellas filled with veggies, seafood and/or meat. Tapas are served too, but nothing compares to the rice. No reservations, but you can wait at the wine bar next door. Lunch is less crowded than dinner.

    La Taza De Oro

    Keeping it real for more than three decades, La Taza de Oro has a long, functional countertop with barstools and plain tables that won't win any design awards. But the decor goes with the stomach-filling cheap eats like rice-and-beans, lechón asado, flan and more. Unpretentious, and very satisfying.

    Alcala

    A well-kept secret near the UN, you won't find a quieter backyard anywhere. It'd be a shame not to try the excellent Basque wines - they go so well with dishes like salted codfish salad with black olives, baby squid, meat cannelloni with truffle and béchamel sauce, and the obligatory seafood paella.
