Background
About El Escarpín
The Story
El Escarpín brings Asturias to the middle of Madrid, on Calle de las Hileras just off Sol. It runs as a sidrería, the Asturian cider house, and leans on the region's reputation for its raw materials and traditional recipes.
The Cuisine
Traditional Asturian, with the greatest hits present and correct: cachopo, fabada and arroz con leche. The wider carta runs long on seafood, from spider crab and lobster to hake cooked in cider, clams and grilled shellfish, plus an aged-beef chuletón.
Beyond the classics
Alongside cachopo, fabada and arroz con leche, the carta lists escalopines with bacon in the pan, milk-fed lamb chops, grilled artichoke flowers, clams marinera or in green sauce, prawns a la plancha or al ajillo, a caldoso rice with monkfish and clams, and a fish and shellfish caldereta. There are daily set menus too.

Sol is the dead centre of the city and behaves like it, busy and walked through by everyone heading somewhere else. The trick is knowing which doors are worth stopping at, because rooms built for visitors sit right beside ones locals have used for decades. Círculo de Bellas Artes and Edificio Metrópolis mark the smarter edge, towards Chueca.
