Taberna La Carmencita

Local cuisine

Madrid's second-oldest taberna (1854), where Lorca and the Generation of '27 met for vermut. Restored with its century-old tiles and wood-and-tin bar, it serves classic Madrid home cooking: filetes rusos with chips, fried eggs with chorizo or morcilla, pollo en pepitoria.
