Calle Humilladero 13
91 36642 66

En La Latina, en la calle Humilladero 13, justo detrás del mercado de la Cebada, está el restaurante gallego Xentes. Un espacio grande mitad restaurante mitad barra y zona de tapeo. Es un gallego clásico, pero modernizado y la calidad de los productos es excelente. Reciben cada día el pescado directo desde Villagarcía de Arousa. Un buen lugar para tomar unas raciones de marisco, anchoas, empanadas, pimientos del padrón, pulpo…. y ribeiro o alvariño de la casa. El pulpo, tiernisimo y delicioso es definitivamente uno de los mejores que hemos probado. Las raciones son generosas con lo que al final, no sale caro. Un buen plato de pulpo a feira 15 €.

Trendy new tapas bar, full of young, good looking and trendy people. In spite of that it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. We had cañas (small beers), cheap but drinkable red wine, a plate of tasty shrimp with lemon. The background music was well chosen.Basic menu with dishes like: Egg with Foie, Boletus Risotto, Hamburger, Cous-cous… All dishes were between 10-20 euros. Its very near calle Luna, home to prostitutes and junkies.

Though foreign cuisine is not usually one of Spain’s strengths, Japanese is something of an exception. This is probably because of the quality and abundance of fresh fish in Spain - the world’s largest consumer of seafood after Japan.

On of our favourites is Samurai. On the recently reformed Plaza de Santo Domingo elegant and minimalist restaurant is a good choice for lunch or dinner. Extensive complete lunch menus, including a drink, range from about 10-15 euro, though we’d generally recommend a-la-carte for a little more. Our favorite dishes include agedashi tofu, ‘Toro’ tuna nigiri, slightly braised Salmon ‘belly’ nigiri. Eating la carte will cost up to 20 euros per person without wine.

Close Mondays.

One of the most consistently reliable places for high-end/fusion tapas. Spanish food with japanese and french influences. Excellent and large selection of Spanish and foreign wines. Favourite dishes include: Salmorejo, foie & egg foam, fideua de marisco. They don’t take reservations and it usually gets quite crowded after about 21:30. Dinner here usually costs us form 30-40 euros per person, but that depends on what wine you chose.

¡O por lo menos lo intentamos! Pero sí es cierto que cada vez hay más gente que se echa a la calle en bici.

Looks like la Taberna de los 100 vinos on calle Nuncio has closed. If anyone knows if it’s moved somewhere else please let us know. It was one of the first and most consistently good places to provide creative tapas in madrid with a superb wine selection. In its place is a bar/restaurant called juanalaloca. I haven’t tried it, the wine selection and menu looked decent, but the decor was not inviting. Maybe it was just that I was in shock over the loss of the ‘Cien Vinos’

This crowded restaurant/bar turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Low key atmosphere and prices, but the creative tapas were all good and reasonably creative. From the entrance all you can see is the crowded bar, but there are a few tables in a back room if you want to sit down. The wine selection, by glass or bottle was basic, but good value - I think the most expensive bottle was under €20.

We ate boletus croquetas, squid-ink risotto, beef-cheeks (dont remember what they were done with but they were delicious), green salad with fried goat’s cheese and boletus raviolis. We even had desert: tiramisu and chocolate backed with berries. I’d re-order any of it, except possibly the boletus raviolis, but there were lots of other interesting things on the menu we didn’t try.
