We used to frequent this place and absolutely loved it. It had been over a year and a half since our last visit, and taking advantage of having some guests, we decided to go for an evening snack/dinner, as we hadn't been in so long.
The place is still fantastic – an old grocery store combined with a deli, cleverly adapted with tables and waiters who, despite how crowded it gets, always try to provide great service.
My disappointment yesterday was that I found the place quite dirty. It's possibly an isolated incident, but it wasn't as it usually is. Now, I don't want to give a bad review for something that might be a one-off, but cleanliness should definitely be a priority in any food establishment.
I hope you continue to be that typical, traditional, bustling bar – the kind that gets packed at night. You deserve it because you do so many things well, but please, don't neglect essential aspects.
As a tip for all clients, their cheeses are especially good, and the variety is exceptionally large. As for the wines, I haven't had a single bad label there, and their homemade vermouth might just be the best in Madrid.
