Jönköping is s sleepy little town in south central Sweden and we spent the night there on a recent road trip. It was late (nearly 10pm…) but we found El Gordo and a fantastic waiter who went above and beyond to accommodate us. He let us sample some wine, got our food order in just before the kitchen closed and he was just as friendly and engaging as could be. The Vespertino red (Tempranillo) was outstanding. The pimentos de padron a little bulky and seedy. The patatas bravas were good and the cheese plate excellent. A very solid place and beautifully decorated inside. Outdoor seating on a pedestrian lakefront path was very nice.
