The menu of La Regadera offers traditional Spanish cuisine with the addition of international elements.

The decor is fresh and modern, but with the added quirk of watering cans dotted here and there, from where the place takes inspiration for their name (regaderatranslates as ‘watering can’).

Taberna Luque is a small but fancy restaurant owned by Antonio and Mari. Mari manages the kitchen, while Antonio serves all the tables.

In Taberna Luque, the gazpacho with almond raisins and the grilled king prawn are definitely worth trying. For drinks, go for a glass of sangria de la casa.
