The food and drinks were awesome. Surely didn't look like a happy place for the staff at least during my visit. Also, having everyone wear French work jacket at a Spanish restaurant seems like a bit of a fraud.
Had such a lovely dinner last night at El Pingüino. Highly recommend the Japanese martini and canned mussels. Some of the best oysters I’ve ever had. Lucked out to go on a night when there was an Aperol Spritz rep so we got some free drinks. Awesome experience all around!
The hours are 4–7 PM, plus a late-night happy hour from 10 PM to midnight.
Their seafood happy hour is pretty simple they only offer one type of oyster but it was super fresh and delicious. Clean, lightly briny, and perfect with just a squeeze of lemon.
And they have really great basque...
