Casa Lucas

La Latina & Lavapiés


Receiving plaudits from food critics and ordinary punters alike, Casa Lucas takes a sideways glance at traditional Spanish tapas and heads off in new directions (the grilled tenderloin of pork on candied onion is an example). There's a range of hot and cold tapas and larger raciones on the menu. Particular attention is paid to the wine list.
