La Cantina is a colourful tapas restaurant with a large choice of grilled meats, planchas and tapas, classic or creative, hot or cold. Whether you are a Spanish food lover, a cheese person, a meat eater, or simply an epicurist with a taste for good food, La Cantina is the perfect place to meet with your friends and enjoy a nice meal outside on the terrace in the summer or in the cozy interior. My personal favourite : the black truffle croquettes !

Manolo Madrid played its cards right to stand out: the owner who cooks in front of you, the high chairs along the counter, the menu written on the stone walls, and tapas way bigger than the usual (2 or 3 are enough). Don’t forget to make a reservation!
