One of the four locations in Madrid, El Lateral is a local favorite amongst the “madrilians” for providing good quality “tapas” at a fine ambiance along with easy prices. This is the perfect place to grab some quick appetizers and a casual chat before leaving for dinner. The sirloin steak with brie cheese foie gras or caramelized onions are just a few of the many recommended dishes. Along with steak, fish and ham dishes, they have great salads too. A modest amount of desserts (the lemon cake is my preferred one!) and wines are also offered. Details about this spot (Show on map).jpg)

Yes, Estay is really nice too although you can stay outside the place. Nevertheless I still enjoy Lateral more (you have also one in Plaza Santa Ana).
Lateral is one of my favorite tapas restaurants in Madrid. I do prefer the location on Fuencarral – it has a nice patio and is close to (cheaper) shopping than the one in Salamanca. If you’re in the Salamanca area, I’d also suggest tapas at Estay (Hermosilla 46) – sit upstairs and order the fried brie rolls or the chistorra navarra. Gorki is also good in Barrio Salamanca – recently expanded to Madrid from its original locations in Malaga, they have great “panes” (sandwiches) for an afternoon snack.
