A sophisticated taberna beside the Retiro park that elevates the traditional Madrid bar format with excellent pintxos, raciones, and a serious wine list. The croquetas de jamón and the anchovy dishes are benchmarks of their kind. The terrace is one of the most pleasant spots in the city on a warm evening. It bridges the gap between casual tapas bar and proper restaurant with real skill.
