High on decoration, this one-room bar is a green explosion of decorative tile on all surfaces,
including the furniture.
Antony Pizza Factory €

factory than cosy brasserie, its staff still works hard to dish out heavily loaded pizzas and some
rich pasta sauces. Popular with Melilla’s young, it has a sunken snug area for quiet dining.
