BaceLo

Contemporary

€€

BaceLo is located along a central pedestrian street in the heart of the Magdalena district and boasts an informal, rustic-contemporary ambience. The attentive couple in charge (Alex and Mar, both of whom are cooks), showcase cuisine with a contemporary flair through which they enjoy combining Galician-inspired dishes with others from further afield, but always based around local ingredients. Examples include the tom yum crab croquettes with peanut satay, conger eel cannelloni with chipotle au gratin, and pork ribs cooked at low temperature with chestnuts, bulghur wheat, walnuts and curry.
