"Hang out with the coolest locals and tourists at La Pepita, where you’ll all endorse the great meal you just had by scribbling on the walls with a Sharpie. Start things off with a round of vermut or white wine while making a game plan for sharing plates—all typical tapas with a little creative spin. The green salad with apple, edamame, and snow peas is a nice starter for those seeking a break from fried croquetas, and the duck breast sashimi is deliciously salty without going overboard. Grilled octopus on potato mash is a guaranteed table pleaser, and you’ll want to slurp up the sweet and sour green curry vinaigrette that comes with the Can Pepi Fried Chicken. " - Isabelle Kliger
