Elegant and intimate, and genuinely quiet, which is not the usual register for an izakaya. The cooking is traditional.

Getting There

Olid, 15, in Trafalgar, the calm shoulder of Chamberí between Malasaña and the wider avenues. It is the kind of stretch where the eating skews to neighbourhood favourites and small confident kitchens rather than destinations.

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.
