Space may not be the strong suit at Una Más, but every inch of this often packed Catalonia-meets-Hamptons room is cleverly designed to ensure there isn’t a dud seat in the house. (Just aim to face the vast arched windows with sweeping beach views.) The menu spotlights Spanish-accented hits from Gildas, patatas bravas and croquetas through to a Basque cheesecake that rules them all. Perhaps the biggest star is a dish of marinated octopus, licked by flames and tender as all get-out, served with a long-fermented habanero sauce. It’s emblematic of the broader experience here – an exercise in simple, breezy and beautiful things done with abundant thought and care. That thinking extends to the wine list, too – a savvy, engaging one-pager of mostly natural drops from our own backyard and around the Med. While Mimi’s, the elegant fine-diner across the hall, is undoubtedly excellent, this is the one that keeps you coming back.
