La Casabar

Top choice in Extremadura


A fun, friendly bar-restaurant that morphs into a popular late-night drinks spot, this fine choice is tucked into a restored 15th-century house on the west edge of the old town. Exposed-brick arches, open-stone walls and tiled floors dominate the modern-rustic interior. Food focuses on meat-heavy extremeño tapas and raciones given a light contemporary twist, plus tasty salads, tostas (topped toast) and revueltos (scrambles).

Dishes might include salmorejo made with yellow tomatoes or sirloin served with 'ancient mustard'.
