I first met Ana & Ángel at their first tiny location back in 2016 and it was love at first visit. In 2018 they moved to their present spot, just a stone’s throw from the famous Metropol Parasol (aka The Mushrooms) and also just off buzzy plaza Cristo de Burgos. What looks like a small bar from the outside leads into a spacious dining area at the back, open to the kitchen, all cleverly designed by Lugadero Architects. There are also a few tables out on a pedestrian side walk terrace with a pretty view of San Pedro church.
Sherry wines continue to be the speciality, though there is a good selection of other Spanish wines too. I used to marvel at what Ángel could concoct from his tiny kitchen in the old place, so as expected, now that he has free reign over a proper kitchen the menu (which changes seasonally) continues evolving as he spreads his culinary wings. Meanwhile Ana has also extended her front of house territory with lovely well-trained staff. Dream Team.
Must tries: the oysters in manzanilla sauce, delicious tempura artichokes, delicate courgette carpaccio, fabulous whole fried fish, creamy and crispy cod fritters and whatever happens to be seasonal. The grilled bone marrow with steak tartare is outrageous, loved it paired with an old amontillado. Don’t feel shy about asking for wine pairing recommendations – whether you’re a sherry novice or a total nerd let Ana be your guide. Also check out the daily specials. Fab desserts too.
