"Right on bustling College Street, Bar Isabel charms diners with its old-world tavern vibe and broad appeal. Perfect for groups, it's also just right for solo diners, as some some dishes may be prepared in half portions, inviting exploration.Chef Grant van Gameren's cooking is heartfelt and there is never anything frilly or overwrought on his Spanish tapas menu. Dishes are rustic and straightforward and there is a clear focus on quality flavors married with strong product. Case in point? The pork secreto, which takes a flavorful grilled pork cheek and ratchets it up a notch with a honey and apple cider reduction. The craft beer list is interesting, and there are plenty of ciders, Spanish wine and cocktails, particularly those employing Sherry, on offer." - Michelin Inspector
