A slick but casual tapas bar, Estado Puro serves up fantastic tapas, that push the boundaries of traditional recipes. It's known for many things, among them splendid croquetas (with jamón, with bull's tail, or with wild mushrooms). The kitchen is overseen by Paco Roncero, head chef at La Terraza del Casino, who learned his trade with master chef Ferran Adrià.
The outdoor tables are often reserved and have higher prices, and the long opening hours are a treat for those whose appetites don’t conform to Spanish eating hours.
