The Brave Potato Factory Boys4.1This is a life-long task, with over 70 years of service. And although the outside aspect has changed a little, the tapas continue to give war (in the good sense).

The Güichi Tapeo Gaditano4.5On horseback between the classic and the new is one of those new developments of the Retiro-Ibiza area, which opened in June 2022: El Güichi. A local property of the Gaditano Antonio Foncada, who had wanted to bring to Madrid the pleasant concept of the güichis of San Fernando for 20 years. These are nothing other than taverns (or taverns, as they call them in Jerez) in which wine was previously sent in bulk and in which customers had the opportunity to taste it before buying, always in the company of a simple cover. The idea has evolved over time to transform this type of establishment into spontaneous meeting points for any time of the day. Ideal places to enjoy the famous shrimp tortillitas, goldsmiths, scaffolding tagarninas, encebollated tuna, roteña urta, wine carrilleras and the good peas of berza of which the most authentically gaditan cuisine presupposes. And that is precisely what can be found in El Güichi in the Retiro area. Here they also have more current dishes, such as sea hedgehog croquettes and choco croquettes, in addition to the Iberian burger. All watered, of course, with a wide sample of Jerez wines, to which other Gaditan creations are added, such as the wines made with Tintilla de Rota grapes. |
Meson del Champiñón4.3The Champion Square opened its doors in the 1960s, taking the place of a fabric store. The owners already had a bar in the area of Carabanchel where the mushrooms were used as a specialty. As they were very successful among their clientele, they thought to dedicate this plateau to their star dish. So it is, that the name of the place is registered, so there is no other table equal. Although the plateau is located in an eminently tourist area, little by little the Madrileños are regaining the taste to come to these plateau, although most of the customers remain foreigners in search of the typical Spanish cover. . |
Perretxico Chueca4.6PerretxCo is a place to consider to enjoy at any time of the day. From breakfast time to dinner in PerretxCo you will find that perfect bite to take to your mouth. Perretxico is a project that is born to value the Basque roots and to enjoy the diners with dishes to share. His philosophy is based on bringing the countryside closer to the city. In Perretxico they highlight the products of the Basque Country, but with the aim of empowering the farmers of the different areas where their premises are located, they also work with farmers close to the cities where they open their premises to enhance the products of Km0. Although there are 8 premises in PerretxCo (1 in Vitoria, 5 in Madrid, 1 in Boadilla del Monte and 1 in Logroño) and all have in common their gastronomic offer, each tavern has a different personality that is adapted to the neighborhood in which it is located with winks in its decoration to that tradition they want to honor. For example, the local of Augusto Figueroa in Madrid pays tribute to the carnivals of Zanpanzar for what you will find in the walls and a mural with information about these parties. Behind PerretxCo is Josean Merino, the chef responsible for the gastronomic proposal and with more than 20 years of experience between the stoves. In its premises it wants to enhance the cuisine of pintxo and pay tribute to the land and to the importance of knowing the origin of the raw materials and the history of the producers. The gastronomic offer of PerretxCo is made up of a series of paintings and rations made with the traditional Basque recipe and accompanied by a careful wine offer. As a good pintxos tavern in PerretxCo you will find croquettes, tortilla or a ham sandwich but also creative pintxos such as foie turron, cow buñuelo vaccine or Txerri Perrens bake. One of its star dishes is the famous tampantojo of its two-round cooking donut. This amazing donut has a base of a traditional chickpea-cooked mashed with all the Basque sacraments (Beasain's morcilla, morcillo meat, demenuted chicken and txistorra). After bathing it in mass and frying it in hot oil, it is glazed with smoked bacon, imitating the glas sugar of a normal donut. This painting comes to the table accompanied by a cup of cooked broth made for more than 8 hours on slow heat that perfectly accompanies the donut. Without a doubt, PerretxCo is a place to enjoy the bar, the painters and the creativity that Josean and his entire team waste through their creations. . |
