"Pez Tortilla is a journey through the flavours of Spain, with each tortilla pincho revealing a unique combination of ingredients."

Pez Tortilla offers a slice of culinary heaven for tortilla enthusiasts and craft beer lovers alike. This cosy tapas bar, celebrated for its innovative twists on the classic Spanish tortilla, has quickly become my go-to spot in Madrid for a casual yet delicious dining experience.

Pez Tortilla is a journey through the flavours of Spain, with each tortilla pincho revealing a unique combination of ingredients. The classic onion tortilla and the one with brie, truffle and Spanish ham stood out for their exquisite taste and perfectly balanced textures. Accompanied by a selection of craft beers, the meal is a testament to the bar's commitment to exquisite quality.

Despite its modest size, Pez Tortilla's atmosphere is loud, vibrant and welcoming, making every visit feel like a celebration of Spanish lifestyle. With its exceptional food, inviting ambiance, and affordable prices, Pez Tortilla is a must-visit for anyone looking to savour the best of Madrid's tapas culture.
