Experience

La Bodeguita del Arte Dining Experience

The cooking stays careful and rooted in tradition, plated with a more modern hand, leaning toward sharing plates and rice made for the table. There's a terrace for warmer days, and the restaurant traces its own history back to a bar the Alonso and Seguí families opened in Bargas, Toledo, a lineage it carries into this address beside Retiro park.

Getting There

On Avenida de Menéndez Pelayo in the Ibiza barrio, in the Retiro district beside the park.

Nearby

Ibiza is the residential edge of Parque del Buen Retiro, and it eats like a neighbourhood that does not need to impress anyone. The rooms are taverns, grills and seafood done properly, at prices that reflect regulars rather than visitors. Palacio de Cristal and the park are the reason to come early.
