Get directions→Getting There
On Calle de San Mateo, 14, in the Justicia barrio of Madrid's Centro district.
Nearby
Justicia is the quieter, better-dressed half of the Chueca side of town, all narrow streets and small shopfronts. Mercado de San Antón anchors the eating, and around it sit grill rooms, wine bars and places that fill late. It is central without ever feeling like the centre.
