Sala de Despiece
Sala de Despiece
Sala de Despiece is a butcher-counter style tapas bar in Madrid's Chamberí district, from chef Javier Bonet, who launched the original concept on Calle Ponzano in 2013. In 2024 that location closed and the restaurant moved to its current, larger premises on Calle Alonso Cano, which seats up to 60 while keeping the butcher-shop-styled décor. The design includes a suspended bar reached by passing underneath and a menu formatted like an invoice.

Background
About Sala de Despiece
The Story
Chef Javier Bonet opened Sala de Despiece on Calle Ponzano in 2013, styled like a butcher's cutting room, with a menu printed like an invoice. In 2024 the Ponzano site closed and the restaurant moved to larger premises on Calle Alonso Cano, seating up to 60. Bonet has since opened a separate venue, SDD0, on Calle Ayala, growing the original idea into something closer to a small group.
The Cuisine
The signature Rolex is a low-temperature egg yolk crowned with pancetta, foie, truffle and Sauternes. Elsewhere: a chuletón cenital of three aged-beef slices with tartufata, tomato and premium olive oil, a lagarto of Asian eggplant stuffed with smoked herring, onion and pickled vegetables, and ternera escondida, beef sealed inside a fat sphere and flambéed tableside before landing in corn tortillas with pickles.

The room keeps the original's butcher-shop language, hooks and knives, at a larger scale, crates stacked Tetris-style overhead. Industrial, trendy, walk-in friendly.

Address
Calle de Alonso Cano, 28, 28003 Madrid, Spain
Get directions→Getting There
Calle de Alonso Cano 28, in Ríos Rosas (Chamberí), where Sala de Despiece moved in 2024 after opening on Calle Ponzano in 2013. It kept its butcher-shop styling at the new, larger scale: a suspended bar you walk under to reach, and a ceiling stacked with produce crates.
Nearby
Ríos Rosas is a working residential grid north of the old centre, where restaurants answer to the people who live there rather than to visitors. It sits nearer Estadio Santiago Bernabéu than anything touristic, and the eating is unhurried, mid-priced and quietly confident. This is where you go for a proper lunch without theatre.
