El Duende
A lively tapas bar with a Mediterranean influence and a casual vibe, El Duende serves meat dishes alongside a small but solid selection of vegan tapas like falafel, hummus, and vegan chorizo. The outdoor seating and wheelchair accessibility enhance the welcoming atmosphere, though experiences with staff friendliness have varied. Popular for lunch and solo dining, it’s a good spot to relax with drinks and plant-based small plates.
