El Bar — Restaurant in The Hague

El Bar was very disappointing. The vibe and the service were impeccable, but the food, and the price are undefendable. We ordered jamón serrano, queso de oveja y patatas bravas, and the portions were insulting. Each plate costs 12,5€, and, believe me, it was so not worth it for that price.
