If you want somewhere menorable then my suggestion is https://www.canallabistro.com/en/

Its owned by a local Michelin starred chef and I guess it is where he trains his staff and the pallates of his future customers. It is a fun place to eat and relatively inexpensive.

Not suitable if you only want pints and paella.

We have had lunch at his 2 ** restaurant. Very, very good and a nice experience.

Booked for tomorrow evening, thanks.

The food at the place was great, the service could be better. Good recommendation overall.

For fear of receiving an obvious response, why? From what I've read, traffic is organised well on race days.

I have been several times and the traffic is far from organised, especially on race day. You will have to leave the city centre at 4am to have any chance to see any of the races.

Thankfully I made it by car. For any future readers, if you arrive by 0700hrs, you should be fine.

I haven't made it out yet as it's still the morning! However, I've parked near the exit, having plotted a swift departure from within the car park. The first arrivals are marshalled to the ends closest to the entrance, surely a negative when leaving?

Forget the food, how's the circuit

Fantastic. From the green stand at the top end of the circuit, I can follow any rider that I wish around the entire track. It's a condensed track within a basin, or amphitheatre -- not unlike Mugello, but on a much smaller scale.

It feels good to be here, there's a pleasant atmosphere, though the food is nowhere near to what the Italians drum up with porchetta etc.
