Olea Dining Experience
Candlelight, a cosy and intimate feel, and an open kitchen to watch, in a quiet, residential pocket of Chamberí, built for a slow dinner and shared tables rather than a loud night out.

Get directions→Getting There
On Calle del Castillo in the Trafalgar corner of Chamberí, the calm shoulder between Malasaña and the wider avenues, residential enough to feel lived-in.
Nearby
Trafalgar is the calm shoulder between Malasaña and the wider avenues, residential enough to feel lived-in and central enough to walk out of. The eating skews to neighbourhood favourites and small confident kitchens rather than destinations. It gets quieter, and better value, the further you go from Gran Vía.
