Of all of them, these are the replacements: El Tapeito now La Tertulia, El Patio Cordobés soon to be Ichiban Japanese restaurant, Sloans now Essence, La Sardina Alegra taken over by an expanding La Taberna, La Gran Evasión now Manny’s Bar, Bar Turry now El Quijote, Chique now Bar Rafael, New Inn now La Vechia Osteria, Sushi Away now an Estate Agent/Hairdresser, Cafe Plaza del Olvido now Fusion Lounge, Zacatecas now For You, La Trattoria now V&P, El Duque now Bar Alonso, Casa Luque now MarBella.
Chopper says:
For you has been shuttered for a month with a sign in the window. You’re one behind, Captain! And the new Japanese place yet to open is called “Ichiban”, not Ichibata.
Nigel says:
What about Los cunaos? I heard that it had closed again too.
