one of the speak flamingos with more tradition of the capital. The gastronomic offer of this small flamenco temple is outstanding, based on a kitchen of pointed spanish character with market product.

His fame precedes him
RARE JOHN _(Michael Servetus, 7. Price: €10 ) _.
Juan Raro has long been one of the multifunctional spaces that has made us most in love with Lavapiés. And it is that Chema Claudio he is a creator who has not given stitch without thread in all his life. Their personal interpretations of eminently traditional dishes they have made him assert a gap in the Lavapiés essentials , in a space where vegetarian options are always welcome.

YOKALOKA _(Santa Isabel, 5. Anton Martin Market. Price: €14.90 ) _
Those who have been living in Lavapiés for more than a decade will remember when, back in 2007, a nice Japanese woman named yuka kamada opened in the Antón Martin market a mini sushi stand to go. Such was the Yoka revolution, that a decade later it already has two positions and a long waiting list to savor her creations.
In the new premises we have enjoyed a luxury menu of the day that consisted of a miso soup first and second its star dish assorted chirashi flambi : bowl of sushi rice topped with spicy salmon flambi mayonnaise and salmon roe.
In Yokaloka, the chirashi looks like this
THE CHUCHIS _(Amparo, 82. Price €11.50 ) _
With this name it might well seem that we are talking about a 'flamenqueo' group from the 80s but no, We talk about Fer and Scott's restaurant , who have the wonderful habit of calling themselves "chuchi". Blending in with the aesthetics of Lavapiés bars, Los Chuchis is a clear example that British gastronomy has something to say beyond the clichés that are generated when you travel to London when you are a student.
In your menu of the day you can find cream of peas with mint, sweet potato, sausages, little livers... Important potato skin with sour sauce Whether or not it's on the menu. Always to choose between three dishes and you always have to go early because the place is small.
THE DARE _(Ave Maria, 8. Price: €11 ) _.
It is possibly the busiest Italian restaurant in the area and, curiously, it gained favor in the neighborhood thanks to their hamburgers and their red pepper ice cream with ricotta. Your desire to offer a rich and healthy menu it is perfectly visible in a menu for all tastes.

BADILA RESTAURANT _(San Pedro Martyr, 6. Price: €13.90 ) _
For more than a decade, Miguel Ventura, a lawyer by profession, has been serving the menus of the day almost on a piecework basis. His intention of him? Rescue the lifelong custom of sitting at the table and enjoying as God intended. Located a few meters from the Plaza de Tirso de Molina, this small tavern whose success has been due to word of mouth, may go unnoticed. Fresh and seasonal product.
Traditional dishes such as cannelloni, lasagna or spoon dishes , closed with a fan of homemade desserts. Nothing more and nothing less than eight first and eight seconds to choose.
FINOCCHIO RISTORANTE _(Ambassadors, 64. Price: €11 ) _
It became known thanks to the masterful cover that it presented at the Tapapiés contest when it had only been open for a few months. Since then, it has not stopped garnering good reviews and has developed a take away service.
Our menu is configured with a caprese salad and a bolognese It just wasn't of this world. We make a parenthesis to name wonders that they have in the menu such as the Risotto Frutti di Mare or Finocchio Pizza which, despite not having found them on the daily menu, are spectacular.
Reaping good reviews since its opening
YATIRI _(Rapporteurs, 20. Price: €12 ) _.
Yatiri's daily menu has been a discovery almost by chance. It appears in our itinerary due to the typical recommendation of a friend who is a fan of the ecological and organic products. Located on the outskirts of the Plaza de Tirso de Molina, Yatiri has a very peculiar daily menu.
The first is a salad bar although it also offers a cream of the day or a stew. Second seitan , although we were surprised by the existence of some carnivorous dishes such as moussaka . for dessert we ate fresh fruit.
