About Diner venues

A diner is a casual, all-day eatery known for an unfussy menu, quick service and affordable comfort food. The name covers a broad range of everyday restaurants serving familiar plates rather than a single national cuisine.

Spanish dining revolves around quality, sociability and the joys of eating at length. Tapas culture — small, shareable plates designed to be grazed over conversation and wine — is a national institution across the country. Spanish cuisine is intensely regional: Catalonia has its avant-garde culinary movement, the Basque Country its pintxo bars and celebrated fine dining, Andalusia its deep-fried fish and gazpacho, and each region guards its own protected products and wine appellations with fierce pride.
