If you want to enjoy great tapas, you either need to head south to Andalucia or find a really good Andaluz restaurant. Let me introduce you to my favourite, La Cazorla. It’s a little corner of the South in the heart of Madrid!
In the bar section, every drink you order is accompanied by a different tapa. Please don't ask for tapas; they are complimentary and the whole point of tapeo is to be surprised each time. At La Cazorla you may be given clams cooked with garlic and white wine, stewed beef, some well-dressed beef tomatoes or potato salad.
La Cazorla is my little family's favourite restaurant for a celebration - I went there on my birthday this year! The raciones (portions) are huge and great for sharing - we usually order a few starters between us. The two large dining rooms are attended by white-jacketed waiters; very old-school Spanish. Bread, olives and fried almonds keep you entertained while you are waiting for your food - warning: there's a cover charge of for this.
It’s minutes away from the Fundación Juan March too, so you can combine some culture with a delicious lunch!
