Where To Eat When You’re Visiting Madrid - Madrid - The Infatuation

"Drinking wine at an ultra under-the-radar bar in Lavapiés is a citywide pastime, and the place to do it is at La Fisna. The cozy wine bar feels like a chill yet subtly cool Madrileño clubhouse with exposed brick, vintage posters, and chalkboard lists of wines. Beyond what you’ll find in chalk, their wine list is 37 pages long, so you’ve got near endless options for sipping the evening away, which is what the neighborhood residents tend to do. Pair your vino with strong Spanish cheeses, glazed meatballs, and the egg omelet with Catalonian sobrasada (a semi-spicy chorizo paste) and piparras, which are Basque sweet peppers. If you really love what you’re drinking, you can pick up a bottle to take home from the wine store in the back." - lori zaino
