Cuenllas
Cuenllas
Cuenllas is a Spanish restaurant in Argüelles with a delicatessen and wine merchant attached, and it holds a Repsol Solete. The wine list is the point: dozens of pages running from grower Champagne and Burgundy to Piedmont, Jerez and the New World, with any bottle available to take home at 25% off. The kitchen frames its cooking as quality and tradition, in a classic room.
Background
About Cuenllas
The Story
Cuenllas is a wine merchant and delicatessen on Calle de Ferraz in Argüelles that also feeds people, one of two Cuenllas sites in Madrid alongside Salesas. The shop side is real: wine by the region, spirits, groceries, glassware and knives, and sandwiches made to order. It holds a Repsol Solete.
The Cuisine
Spanish, and the venue's own framing is quality and tradition rather than invention: plates such as jamón ibérico gran reserva and croquetas de jamón ibérico to go with the wine. The wine does the heavy lifting, a list organised by region across Champagne and sparkling, Spanish and French whites and reds, Piedmont and the rest of Italy, the United States, Argentina and Chile, plus sweet and fortified wines and spirits.
