About Bar Néstor
A small, snug bar in the Parte Vieja that does three things and does them with complete conviction. The tortilla de patata, the chuletón and the tomato salad are what people come for — the padron peppers round out a menu that has no interest in being anything else. The steak draws serious attention, and the tomatoes earn their own queue. Getting in requires a little planning: turn up around half five, put your name on the list, and come back for the evening sitting. The bar is tight, standing-room territory, with a window counter facing the street — the kind of place that fits a dozen people and feels exactly right for it. Rioja is the obvious call alongside the meat.
