Pulpo Kitchen & Lounge

Pulpo got onto my list of favorite tapas places quickly. The room is polished but lively, with music in the air and a bar that matters as much as the dining room. This is built for drinks, shared plates, and a table that does not mind some noise. The cocktails were really good, so we were in the right place.

We ordered marinated olives, pork belly, and a little gem salad. The pork belly was my favorite of the three. Portions run generous for tapas, and the menu can stretch from smoked mussel toast and ceviche to paella and whole fish. Three plates gave us a clear answer without pretending we covered the place.

Next time, the pork belly and a cocktail still go first. Then we see how much room is left.
