The concept for the outstanding new Bar Pintxo emerged from Chef Joe Miller’s trip to Barcelona, where he was deeply inspired by the cooking of Spain, especially in the tapas bars on every corner. Miller is the owner of Joe’s Restaurant on Abbot Kinney, recently awarded a coveted Michelin star. Bar Pintxo is a departure from that popular spot and serves a large selection of fresh, authentic, high-quality tapas, with a California flair. An extensive, exclusively Spanish wine list matches perfectly with the food, and the atmosphere is lively and festive, with a relaxed, warm feel. Stop in for a snack or a whole meal.

Throughout are courtyard gardens and patios for dining al fresco, as well as three cottages, each with its own fireplace. The cuisine matches the décor; rustic French with Bouillabaisse, roast leg of lamb, and Cassoulet being some of the house favorites. The simple and traditional menu is well executed and the service, professional. You will surely enjoy the entire experience at Chez Mimi!
