POPINA

Popina is like that friend who dresses well but can't cook. The shakshuka? Banging. The sourdough focaccia? A bit sad. Service is smooth, but when it comes to the food, you might be left hanging. Those almond tarts are sweet enough to give you a toothache, and good luck getting decent salmon on your eggs Royale—it's basically a ghost of a fish. Clean vibes, but the chaos at the tables? Yeah, that might make you question your life choices.

The coffee is solid, and if you can overlook the occasional wait and the staff who might act like they're juggling flaming swords, you might have a decent time. But don't go expecting a Michelin star—this place is more about vibes than culinary wizardry. If you're in the area, you could pop in, but don't say we didn't warn you if it all goes downhill from there.
