Bodega de la Ardosa
Tiled 1892 bodega with one of Madrid's best tortillas and a back room you reach by ducking under the bar.
Open on the 3D mapOrder
Tortilla de patatas, salmorejo, croquetas, and a vermut de grifo or a pint of draught Guinness.
Not for you if
you're claustrophobic; it's tiny, standing room at the front, and reaching the back means crawling under.
Local trick
Ask whether tortilla is available before choosing your tapas; the back room is reached by ducking under the bar.
