Top choice in Murcia
Look for the cascade of market vegetables outside the door when locating this quality restaurant, which isn't quite as small as it claims. Excellent service furnishes its tables, divided by boxes of tomatoes, melons and the like, with dishes such as fish carpaccio, huevas de mújol (preserved fish eggs), codillo (pork knuckle), and quality salad and vegetable platters. Delicious, as are the wines.
It's also a quality tapas venue.
