 If you are tired of the same old tapas, head to Boqueria, which is one of the best tapas bars in town.

 Chandni means ?moonlit market,? but it?s also the name of a popular film. Chandni, the restaurant, serves the full range of halal Pakistani fare, which means lots of meat, chicken, and goat, but plenty of vegetables, too.
