Legend says…

100 years serving the public, 100 years enjoying

Get lost in Madrid's heart

Legend has it that a long, long time ago a gentleman stopped at this iconic tavern to relieve his thirst; such an admiration did he suddenly develop for the place that it was forever etched in his memory and as he was doing a lot of wandering in his life, he talked about the tavern to everyone who wanted to listen to him. He talked about the wonderful wines that delighted his palate, the extraordinary cuisine that satisfied his hunger and the natural magic of the place that got him bewitched. At the end of his long journey, he decided to go back there and stay forever.

It is a classic tavern in the city with its colourful glazed tiles, high ceilings, carved columns, a red facade, centenarian lamps and a large mirror that adorns the premises, which was rescued from a decaying tavern on Trafalgar Street in 1909.

It is a place where history meets the present. A place where any citizen of the world finds their place! And the errant gentleman who lives there receives you with gallantry encouraging you to taste the excellent wines and the exquisite delicacies…

…And while we are at it, some biscuits with a sweet wine, tradition of the house from time immemorial…
