Background
About La Tapería del Prado
The Story
La Tapería del Prado sits on Plaza de la Platería de Martínez, on the Paseo del Arte that links the Prado, the Thyssen and the Reina Sofía. The restaurant describes its home as an 18th-century neoclassical building whose original structure can still be seen on the façade and in its private events room, which takes groups of 15 to 50.
The Cuisine
Classic Spanish and international dishes with a few modern touches, made in-house with seasonal produce, according to the restaurant. That means boards of knife-cut Iberian ham and Guijuelo cured meats, salmorejo, huevos rotos with carabinero prawns, the house torrezno with brava sauce, arroz a banda and a lobster rice for two, plus grilled bluefin tuna and entrecôte.

Experience
La Tapería del Prado Dining Experience
A big, all-day place on one of Madrid's main museum routes, with a terrace that's the draw in good weather (booked by phone only, and priced higher than inside). The restaurant sits in an 18th-century neoclassical building, and says the original structure still shows on the façade and in its events room.
