A wine bar at Calle del Amparo 91 in Lavapiés, central Madrid, with a Solete in the Guía Repsol. It opened in 2008 as a shop and tasting centre on Doctor Fourquet and moved here in 2016, into the old castiza taberna Casa Donato, keeping the original architecture. The list leans on small producers and the kitchen cooks a short carta daily.

Background

About La Fisna

The Story

Delia Baeza opened La Fisna in May 2008 on Calle Doctor Fourquet, as a shop and tasting centre. In February 2016 it moved to Amparo 91 and added the wine bar, so it now works as bar, shop, tasting room, importer and distributor at once. The building was Casa Donato, a castiza taberna and wine bar before it, and the original architecture stayed put.

The Cuisine

Wine-led and traditional. The list runs on small producers, with natural wines well represented, and the house ages some of the best bottles that pass through it, moving them onto the carta as they come round. The by-the-glass choice is wide, with a sommelier on hand for pairing advice. The food carta is deliberately short and made daily because the space is small: seasonal product plated with care, with cheese boards, cecina and patatas revolconas among the plates.

The Team

Delia Baeza founded La Fisna in 2008. In the kitchen, the house's cooks work the seasonal product into a short daily carta, and on the floor it puts hospitality on a par with what's in the glass.

Experience

La Fisna Dining Experience

Quiet, with the music kept low, and the room reads classic and a little rustic. The wine list is the reason people are here, heavy on natural wine and small growers, and the service is attentive without hovering. The crowd it draws has come for the wine specifically rather than wandered in off the street.

Getting There

It's a steeply layered corner of central Madrid, a tight grid of narrow streets where the cooking comes from everywhere at once, with the Reina Sofía and CaixaForum uphill and El Rastro at the bottom. The bar's own site also points to Atocha and Puerta del Sol as things it sits near.

The rooms are small, the prices are honest, and the good ones fill with regulars rather than reservations. Museo Reina Sofía and CaixaForum Madrid sit uphill from it, El Rastro at the bottom.
