This restaurant, situated halfway between the Estación Sur de Autobuses bus station and the Enrique Tierno Galván park, enthuses guests with its penchant for the historically inspired cooking of the city of Madrid. Chef Álex García de la Fuente has rediscovered and revived the city’s most historic recipes, bringing them up to date with his own personality. The à la carte, which features a section dedicated to tapas-style “bocados”, includes several dishes designed for sharing (the bocadillo de calamares with a citrus alioli – this is Madrid, after all!; the slightly spicy red prawns from Huelva “al ajillo”; smoked trout etc); plus the option of a tasting menu. The cocktails here, which have been renamed “aguaduchos” as a homage to the term used to describe the old kiosks in Spain that used to sell soft drinks, have a range of interesting names, such as Pichi, Chotis, Chulapo, etc.
