Must order: House pita with the day's hummus, a crudo and the whole roasted turbot when it's on

Insider tip: Reserve the courtyard for lunch and the upstairs zinc bar for dinner — both go first — and book ahead on Civic Center festival and concert days.

A two-story Mediterranean room that opened on the Civic Center Mall in late 2025, with olive trees in the courtyard and a Barcelona-built Josper charcoal grill doing the serious work. It’s the Old Town answer to people who fly to the coast for whole fish and good bread.

Start with the hot pita and whatever the hummus is today. If the turbot is on, order it for two and let the grill do the talking.

When to go: lunch on the courtyard patio from November through April, one of the best midday tables in town. For dinner, a crudo at the upstairs bar skips the full sit-down.
