Monday: 12-9:30pm

A cozy Spanish tapas restaurant that's been serving authentic paellas and extensive tapas selections since April 2004, located just minutes from Eldon Square behind St James' Park. Set in a historic building rumored to be haunted (parts date back to when people were hung in "the barn"), El Coto combines dark wood floors, wooden ceiling beams, and rustic décor across two floors plus a covered heated courtyard. With special daytime offers like 3 tapas for £17.95 and private function facilities, it's perfect for everything from quick bites to special occasions.
