Get directions→Getting There
On Calle San Nicolás in the Palacio quarter of central Madrid, in the streets between the Royal Palace and the Ópera.
Nearby
Palacio is the grand, historic western edge of the centre, wrapped around Palacio Real de Madrid and Plaza de Oriente. The eating runs from tavern cooking that has not changed in generations to small rooms doing something quieter and more modern. Teatro Real and Jardines de Sabatini set the pace, which is slower here.
