This venue, opened in 2018, occupies a space full of plants on the gentrified Klauzál street within the old Jewish quarter. We sat at the long table and opted to order two filter coffees to start. The Hungarian-Spanish owner duo, Emese Görföl and Mario Jimenez, give Dorado an endearing character. They are friendly, attentive and know what this move is about. In a city where the service staff is somewhat moody, the treatment here is appreciated. They have everything from cold beers to espresso-based drinks made with a matte black La Marzocco machine. If you want to try something from their menu, we recommend the freshly made cakes, or the avocado toast, which, served on sourdough and with pickled onions and walnuts, is delicious.
