La de toda la vida… pero con el toque Buga. 🥔🔥 Nuestra Ensaladilla de la Buga: cremosa, sabrosa y con un toquesito de cariño extra. ¿Quienes somos nosotros para juzgar si quieres meterle un par de Gildas? 😳😜. Haced lo que queráis! 😜
He aquí uno de los responsables de darle tanto color, arte y personalidad a las paredes de La Buga 🎨✨ Toño Camuñas ( @el_ojo_peludo ) nos ha visitado y no podía irse sin darle un poquito de cariño a sus murales, que algunos ya lo echaban mucho de menos ❤️🩹 La barra no podía quedarse atrás, aquí
Madrid en verano cambia de ritmo. Nosotros también. Aquí tienes nuestro nuevo horario de verano ☀️ para que no te quedes con las ganas de nada. Te esperamos en La Buga.
Detrás de cada plato, cada cerveza y cada recomendación, hay personas que hacen que La Buga sea lo que es y jamás pierda su esencia. Sonrisas, carreras, conversaciones y mucho cariño por lo que hacemos. Estamos en ARGUMOSA 11 📍 Nuestra cocina no para 😉
Los Habanos Cubanos son los únicos puros 🚬 que recomendamos comerse 😜 Rellenos de pato confitado al teriyaki y con ceniza de berenjena 🍆 (sí, ceniza… y sí, de berenjena 🤷🏽♂️ tampoco vamos a explicarlo demasiado). Y recuerda: nuestra cocina no para.
Hoy las chulapas y los chulapos salen a conquistar Madrid 🌹 Y nosotros felices de poner los vermuts, las tapas y un poco de chotis para hacer ambiente 💃 Feliz San Isidro desde LA BUGA❤️

On Calle Argumosa, 11, in Lavapiés, part of the Embajadores neighbourhood of Madrid's Centro. The venue calls its stretch of the street the Paseo Marítimo de Lavapiés.
Nearby
Embajadores is old working Madrid, dense and unpolished, and it rewards anyone willing to walk its side streets. The eating runs from taverns that have been there for generations to newer rooms doing something quite different. El Rastro spills through it on market days, and Lavapiés is the same conversation continued uphill.
