Bar Canyí

★ 4.0 (694)$$ · Mid-range

Bar Canyí runs on a simple premise — tell the chef you'll eat anything, and he sends out a rolling selection of tapas built around what's fresh, starting with mussels and moving through the kitchen's daily choices. At 4 stars from 694 reviews, it's a casual, mid-range spot rather than a formal dining destination, with a relatively high local score reflecting its neighbourhood character. The format rewards diners happy to hand over the decision-making rather than order precisely. It suits a relaxed, low-key dinner for those wanting a genuine local tapas experience.

What people say

"Loved our dinner at Canyí! The chef suggested bringing a selection of tapas for us, of course we let him. Starting from the mussels, we knew we’d made the right choice. Pick anything from the menu, it will all be great. Loved the enthusiasm of the chef as well. You can tell the love he has for this place and his dishes. Don’t forget the sherry"
