"When Tropezón opened on Española Way last December, we liked it a lot. And then, this year, they revamped the menu and now we love it a lot. The Andalusian spot, with its stellar selection of infused gins and snug spaghetti western interior, was always a fun place to drink. Now it’s also one of the best dinner spots in South Beach thanks to their excellent versions of classic tapas like pan con tomate and patatas bravas—but also because of bigger entrees like a duck confit paella. Food aside, Tropezón is just always fun and never feels needlessly exclusive—which is exactly the kind of restaurant South Beach desperately needs more of." - ryan pfeffer
