Very interesting option literally 2m walking distance from Atocha station Very good food and staff just be careful with quantities, really big ones Good meat, interesting “bocata de calamares” and wine selection Try it, it will not disappoint you
We would not visit places twice on a short trip and when there are 1000’s of places to choose from but this local restaurant was fantastic. Friendly local staff, a great tapas menu plus other super dishes and of course lovely wine. Patatas bravas is always a good indicator in our opinion for what the rest of the menu will be like and theirs are some of the best we have tried. We tried a great selection which were fresh, well cooked and good sized portions. The restaurant bar itself is set in a style of post industrial with red brick and stone on the walls. Looks great and creates a lovely atmosphere. Many local people was also a good sign.
The pork belly was one of the best dishes I have had while in Madrid. Beautiful atmosphere while sitting outside. The mango cod salad was delicious. If you are in Madrid by Atocha, this is a must!
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
