The menu is Portuguese, with lots of fish, and Portuguese wine, beer and spirits. Housed in a former cinema, Alcantara has a large and spacious interior, which nonetheless is quite intimate through the use of soft colors and indirect light. Formica tables, fluorescent lighting and stacked beer crates all contribute to the authentic Spanish atmosphere of this popular restaurant in the heart of the Red Light district.
Diners wait for a table on low barstools facing the mouthwatering tapas display.
Open daily 1pm-11pm. There's a rear studio room which is used for Spanish dance and music courses. Outdoor terrace during summer. Tex-Mex food and margaritas in a small bodega on the edge of the Red Light district. Very popular so don't expect much room to move.
