LA MALONTINA

The small room with a dozen tables makes the restaurant an intimate corner that will welcome couples as well as small groups of friends. Don't hesitate to ask for advice from the charming staff.

LA BUGA DEL LOBO
Read moreOne of our favorites in Lavapiès! With its lively terrace, its colorful interior room, its jazzy music, the Buga del Lobo (the Wolf's Mouth) has definitely got it all. Here, we like the relaxed atmosphere of a young and local clientele, the smiling and joking service, the olives served with the aperitif, the caipirinhas at any time, the extensive tapas menu... In short, the list of delights is endless. Right next door, a cultural space shows films and organizes exhibitions all year round, ask for information at La Buga.
