"Chef Ismael Iglesias, of the chic Kata 4 oyster and pintxos bar, opened Rita in the locals-only neighborhood of Egia. Here you’ll find many typical pintxo bar offerings — charcuterie platters, fried calamari — but always with an upmarket presentation and top-quality produce. The focus is, however, on the menu’s full-size dishes, like salmorejo with basil ice cream or mackerel with paella socarrat and curry flan. Rita’s midday prix fixe, priced at 25 euros and also available in half-portions, is a price-conscious way to sample the menu." - Marti Buckley
