This truly epicurean hideaway reveals two distinct personalities. At first glance, it feels like a lively, authentic wine bar; step into the intimate dining room at the back, however, and it transforms into one of Madrid’s most compelling culinary destinations. Whether you visit for lunch or dinner, the menu showcases refined market-driven cuisine, elevated by an exceptional wine list—featuring standout labels such as Álvaro Palacios, crafted from old-vine Grenache and Samsó in Gratallops.
The approach here is simple: order generously. From delicate hake kokotxa to Iberian ham blood sausage croquettes and deeply flavored braised oxtail in red wine, every dish reflects both tradition and finesse. Led by chef Trifón Jorge Esteban—who honed his craft under renowned Galician chef Manuel Tabares of Villa de Foz—the restaurant has, in just a few years, built a formidable reputation that continues to grow.
