A legendary and eccentric seafood restaurant where the owner Rafael Martínez sources extraordinary fish and shellfish daily and serves them with almost no intervention — just the best product, cooked perfectly. There is no menu; Rafa tells you what he has and you trust him. The experience is unlike any other in Madrid and the quality of the seafood is among the finest in Spain. It is expensive, cash-only, and entirely on Rafa's terms — which is exactly the point.
