Lona Pintxos Bar
Contemporary$$
Pintxos is a Basque speciality comprising mini bites speared with a toothpick or bigger skewer. Try some at Lona, a skinny, split-level bar with good sherry and good service. Here, a spike-fest might involve lush jamon, arancini with crunch and gooey manchego centres, braised pork brioche sliders with a crackling crunch and jalapeno bang, tuna-stuffed piquillo peppers, and Pedro Ximenez truffles for dessert. Save your spikes; you’ll need them to tally up your bill. About that – embarking on a spike-frenzy can add up and it’s easy to veer into over-$30 territory. Become a Lona member and pay half price for pintxos from noon to 4pm.
