Un desayuno único e inigualable. Sus tapitas a medio día son exquisitos bocados en el paladar de quienes lo visitamos, un establecimiento fantástico

I love Cafe De Lara and visit every week. The owner Manuel is a fantastic chef and serves great food. He also does the best coffee! The bar is always busy with local people who I’ve got to know. I am usually the only English person in the bar. It’s a great place to go to experience local San Pedro!

Si venís a San Pedro de Alcánta, pero no tenés la onda del pueblo.. te recomiendo que te tomes una cañita, con una buena y recién elaborada tapa en este bar! Para mí no existe un lugar mejor. Trato excelente, gente amena, las mejores vistas de todo S.P. Volvere, cómo desde hace 10 años

Hace unos bocadillos muy buenos a la plancha ( el de lomo con queso y la catalana buenisimos). Mucho detalle a la hora de hacerlo todo y por ello da gusto venir aquí desayunar.
