Rincón de Pepe
Murcia's most famous tapas restaurant, famous all over Spain. Anyone who visits Murcia must have a tapas meal in Rincon de Pepe. Always very full, but service is generally quick. For dessert try the Paparajotes, a Murcian delicacy made with the leaves of lemon trees. They are delicious and rare elsewhere in Spain. For a one-off visit, we recommend the Menú de degustación which gives you a taste of the restaurant's most popular tapas dishes. See further description in Spanish, Rincon de Pepe.
