Aragón
Set in a little tree-shaded plaza, with outdoor and indoor tables, this classy venue serves haute-cuisine versions of Aragonese fare, with excellent fish and desserts as well as meats. Maybe a bit much arty drizzle and sprinkle for some, but the tastes and quantities are good. Reservations advisable.
There are set-menu options as well as à la carte.
