Espagnol Bar - Castres

After wandering around looking for a bar and a bite to eat on Thurs night, and finding a lot of places closed or almost empty, it was good to come across Espanol Bar. There were lots of people and bit of a buzz.Food was tasty and not overpriced, and the staff were nice.

We chose a selection of tapas rather than a "main meal" and both quality and quantity was really good. Having eaten tapas in Barcelona, San Sebastian and Andorra in the last year, the food on offer in this little bar/restaurant in Castres is at least as good. The atmosphere is really lively and fun. It is obviously very popular and the interior dining area is fairly small resulting in a crowded/cramped feeling. The outside covered terrace is a better bet if you don't mind sharing it with the smokers. The service is ok if a bit erratic-I waited 15 minutes for a beer and the carafes of water served were not chilled. The prices are very reasonable. We will definitely be back.

Second time in castres. both of us visited L’Espanyol. very friendly staff, good house wine at cheap prices. good atmosphere and friendly staff and customers. next time again will play munster castres
