El Matador
A family-run Spanish tapas bar in an old wine cellar, serving freshly made tapas and cocktails, with flamenco on weekends.
Located at Victoria Court on St Pancras in the city centre, formerly known as Viento de Levante, this independent family-run restaurant has its main dining room in a historic cellar, plus a sunny terrace. The tapas are freshly made to order with local and imported Spanish ingredients and served as soon as they're ready. Popular choices include patatas bravas, lamb meatballs and shelled king prawns, and there are vegetarian options too. Live flamenco performances often take place at weekends. It has excellent reviews on TripAdvisor, so book ahead at weekends. It's about a 5-minute walk from the Cross in the city centre.
