Los Toreros

Crystal Palace locals appreciate this cavernous tapas bar for its entertainments & comforts, from the live acoustic guitar music on Friday nights to the relative intimacy of a homely, candlelit bar area set up with an old leather sofa, glittery cushions & knick-knacks. The grub’s not bad either, from the usual tortillas & chorizo to prawns spiked with garlic & chilli. Steaks, lamb cutlets & copiously portioned paella are served for heartier appetites, with Cruzcampo beer & selections from a decent list of Spanish wines offering invaluable support. A further draw are the flamenco evenings, which are held once a month.
