Background

About Zalamero

The Story

Zalamero started as a wine bar, the idea of two sommeliers, Ana and David, who wanted to share the people behind the wines they respect. The kitchen and the dining room share the spotlight, with wine as the thread running through both.

The Cuisine

The cooking is traditional and Madrid to its core, updated for the present and built on seasonal produce, with the wine list leading the way.

Getting There

It's on Calle de Narváez, 67, in the Ibiza neighbourhood of the Retiro district, a residential grid on the east side of Parque del Buen Retiro.

Nearby

Ibiza is the residential edge of Parque del Buen Retiro, and it eats like a neighbourhood that does not need to impress anyone. The rooms are taverns, grills and seafood done properly, at prices that reflect regulars rather than visitors. Palacio de Cristal and the park are the reason to come early.
