This was bad. This was truly really bad. If DiverXO is a peak of culinary creation, StreetXO is smoking a joint in the back alley behind a dingy dive bar. Honestly, I am taking this one to town. Let’s see how far I go.
It did not take me long enough to revisit two of my favourite tapas bars in Madrid and my initial thoughts still stand. Casa Toni and Juana La Loca might be two very different establishments but they both offer an excellent opportunity to experience the two ends of the tapas spectrum in Madrid.
Running errands brought us to Chamberí and when life brings you to Chamberí you utilise that opportunity to eat delicious food. Sala de Despiece surprised me in more ways than I expected it to. What a culinary joy having lunch at SDD was!
This post is not for the faint-hearted. This post is not for those who think that food is not supposed to be expensive. And this post is definitely not meant for those who eat to live. This dinner was an excess par excellence. It was magical. It was indulgent. It was an art, a play…
After more than two weeks of eating tapas it was finally time to venture out and explore the modern culinary scene of Madrid. With a decent number of traditional tapas under my belt, I felt more than ready to explore what the contemporary iterations of the well-loved classics could look like.
