On Santa Engracia, 76, in Chamberí, a short step from the Ponzano bar strip.
Nearby
Chamberí is an elegant, residential district north of the centre, quieter and more grown-up than Malasaña or Chueca. Calle de Ponzano cuts through it as one of the city's best-known tapeo streets, and the surrounding blocks mix classic bakeries and neighbourhood bars with a wave of newer, more ambitious kitchens.
