SAU, 'taberna entre aguas', is a seafood taberna on Calle de Santa Isabel that opened in early 2026. It cooks sea-driven plates with a Peruvian streak, like a tiradito of fresh sea bass in ají amarillo leche de tigre, and pours natural and orange wines. The room is small and informal, open every day but Monday.

Background

About SAU Taberna entre Aguas

The Story

SAU, 'taberna entre aguas', opened in early 2026 on Calle de Santa Isabel; its team marked six months in August 2026 before a summer break. It's a small contemporary taberna built around the sea and natural wine.

The Cuisine

Sea-driven cooking, from tiradito with leche de tigre to fresh fish, with a Peruvian streak, matched to natural and orange wines.

On the plate

The tiradito is fresh sea bass in an ají amarillo leche de tigre, with chive oil, sour cream, sweet-potato crisp, cardamom and coriander shoots. Even dessert nods to the sea: a homemade chocolate mousse with orange-zest cream, crisp seaweed furikake and black salt.

Address

Calle de Santa Isabel, 12, 28012 Madrid, Spain

Get directions→

Getting There

Calle de Santa Isabel 12, between Antón Martín and Lavapiés in central Madrid, a few minutes from Antón Martín metro (L1).

Nearby

Lavapiés is a steeply layered corner of central Madrid, a tight grid of narrow streets where the cooking comes from everywhere at once. The rooms are small, the prices are honest, and the good ones fill with regulars rather than reservations. Museo Reina Sofía and CaixaForum Madrid sit uphill from it, El Rastro at the bottom.
