On Calle Ponzano in the Almagro area of Chamberí, one of Madrid's best-known streets for tapas and going out.
Nearby
Almagro is embassy Madrid: broad streets, old money, and a hush the rest of the centre does not have. The restaurants match, with polished rooms, careful service and kitchens that do not need to shout. It sits between Chueca and Salamanca without quite belonging to either.
