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 favourite one!) and wines are also offered.

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.
