Madrid is a city of taverns and tascas, many of them centuries old. Madrid is a city that can be explored, from end to end, from bar to bar, from reeds, from vermouth or wine. And despite everything, there are fewer and fewer bars as usual : the classics tend to disappear to become gastrobars that remember, if only slightly, what they once were ...

And then there is La Retasca , last opening of Juanjo López Bedmar (in the photo, La Tasquita de Enfrente , La Cocina de Frente ), a concept inspired by the taverns of always converted, right after birth, in one of them, in Bulbiza, gastronomic destination between Máiquez and Fernán González streets, in the Retiro district, where Bistronómica , El Marginal or Casa Julián de Tolosa are also located .

A tribute to the traditional taverns

It is located in the same place that at the time occupied the second address of Pedraza Tavern , time of which it retains part of the decoration (such as marble floor, mirrors or the arrangement of the bar). The rest is the work of the Mena y Cruz design studio, which has incorporated images of Madrid from the last century and several tabernacle phrases such as "in the background there is room".

As a good connoisseur of Madrid culinary traditions, López Bedmar has prepared a menu full of tapas and lifelong portions: homemade pickles (banderilla, taco de bonito), canned Los Peperetes (natural cockles, pickled mussels), chacinas and cheeses (it has a ham cutter live throughout the service) or a good handful of classics, almost all served in ration, half or lid: brave potatoes, grilled ear, salad, garlic mushrooms, blood onions, corns with ox nose ... In addition, sandwiches and pulguitas rogues (Iberian pepito, squid, artisanal sausage with white wine), stews of the day (lentils stewed on Tuesdays, consommé with fine on Fridays) or grilled elaborations (turbot , beef chop from Valles del Esla). And all the commands are sung to the fullest!

To accompany, in addition to selected wines, Madrid blonde canes thrown with donaire and boiled eggs of appetizer ... Living history of the taverns of Madrid.
