Cobo’s Fischbänke

Genau der richtige Spot, um die Zeit der Mittagspause in der Laubengasse vom Dhoppen zu unterbrechen. Die Fischbänke sind über eine kleine Gasse, einen Gang direkt gegenüber von Boggi Milano aus der Laubengasse nicht zu verfehlen.
Kleine Brotzeitentelker an Aperol, Lagrein, Sauvignon, Rose oder Prosecco werden gereicht. Die sog. Menüs liegen zwischen 12, — und 14, — Eur Getränke um 4, — Eur (Stand ⁰⁹⁄₂₀₁₅).
Eine Vielzahl an lustigen Weisheiten und Sprüchen, die der Wirt aufgehängt hat, runden den Aufenthalt ab und lassen es zu einem eher heiteren Stop werden.

Really odd little place with personable staff. The owner, Cobo, wasn’t there but he is apparently quite the character.
The food is really good… from what I could tell, it’s mostly salads and bruschetta but many different kinds. We had the gorgonzola and speck bruschetta I think. We went back the next day for more.
I think it’s only outdoor seating (under umbrellas and shade fabric). I doubt the area would accommodate more than 25 people but I’m guessing it’s the kind of place that does not stand on formality and if more people show up, they will get squeezed in somewhere.
The place used to be a fish market and there are two huge old marble fish-​cleaning counters (fish banks???) that are very cool but seem like they take up an awful lot of space though I’m sure they are lines with food and drink when things get busy.
This is where we were introduced to the Aperol Spritz, a popular low-​alcohol drink popular in northern italy, made with Aperol (an orange-​rhubarb Camparis-​like apéritif) and proseco. Every other table had one of these… and they really are a good thing.
This is a very specific kind of place… bohemian, quirky, low key… but have an aperol spritz (and a couple of beers) and kick back and watch the locals and tourists drift in and out of the place.
