Jose's Tapas Restaurant

You'll find yourself on Cross Street in the city centre, pushing through the door of what looks deceptively modest from outside. Inside, it's warm and buzzing—the kind of place where strangers at the bar become friends by dessert. The menu reads like a love letter to Spain: patatas bravas that actually have bite, jamón that melts on your tongue, and croquetas made fresh enough to justify the queue. It's not fancy or trying too hard; it's just proper food done right, with Spanish wine that won't require a second mortgage.
