If you are looking for a good coffee, this was the most decent that I found and it was not bad.  They tried doing latte arts too :) This is a bit of a walk, on the other side of the river from Mercado de la Ribera

El Globo

I really liked the variety of tapas here. It tasted good and was just along Gran Via near Plaza Moyua







Pintxo


Bar Motrikes

@ GoienKale of Casco Viejo

Grilled Mushrooms
you can prolly skip the other pintxos and just go straight to ordering their Grilled Mushroom pi





Sorginzulo

@ Plaza Nueva at Casco Viejo

Calamari
A bit too tad salty, the batter was too "Batter"-y.  Definitely not that great but not sure why a lot of people order it.  I would prolly skip this.






Grilled Foie and Txakoli
4 dollars for a Grilled Foie - It was good but was hoping it was a bit warmer.
