Fodor's Expert Review Taberna del Alabardero

Flavorful tapas and Spanish favorites are all the rage at this intimate, warm space in Belltown. Start with a house sangria, then order to your heart's content from the tapas list: mini lamb burgers, Penn Cove mussels with white wine, Serrano ham, a traditional egg "tortilla," and gazpacho. Larger dishes include paella, rack of lamb with rosemary, and grilled duck breast with fried polenta. Happy hour, desserts, and brunch all receive very high marks from happy locals—as does the attentive service. A real slice of Madrid in Belltown—olé!
