Background
About La Manuela
The Story
La Manuela is a long-standing traditional grill in the Mercado de San Antón, run by Rosa. Always looking for new formats, it added a charcoal grill on which the meat is smoked before cooking, to give it more flavour.
The Cuisine
Grilled veal, chicken and vegetables over smoked charcoal: entraña, sesame chicken skewers, vegetable skewers, grilled provolone, hummus and salads.
Smoke and Charcoal
The charcoal grill is the heart of the stall: meat is smoked first, then grilled. Entraña, the skirt steak, is the dish to order, with sesame chicken skewers or vegetable skewers if you want something lighter, and provolone, hummus and salad to round out the plate.
