Angelita

Tucked away in the heart of Chueca, one of Madrid’s most vibrant neighborhoods, Angelita brings together Spanish and Mediterranean flavors in a setting that feels both refined and welcoming. While the central location means no outdoor terrace, the restaurant more than compensates with its commitment to farm-to-table dining, sourcing vegetables and herbs from their own garden just outside the city.

The menu showcases ingredients at their peak, letting natural flavors do the heavy lifting. Their pisto is a standout—a rustic preparation of peppers, eggplant, and aromatic herbs bound together with quality olive oil. For something more indulgent, the scallops arrive crowned with bone marrow and a bright chimichurri that cuts through the richness. The wine program deserves special mention with over 70 wines by the glass and a cellar boasting 600+ bottles, all selected with the same care given to the kitchen.

What sets Angelita apart is the full experience it offers. After dinner, venture downstairs to discover a hidden cocktail bar with speakeasy ambiance and thoughtfully themed drinks. It transforms a weeknight dinner into something memorable. Note that the restaurant closes on weekends, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a mid-week escape from the ordinary.

Whether you’re looking for an intimate date night, a place to explore exceptional wines, or simply want to experience Madrid’s farm-to-table scene at its best, Angelita delivers on all fronts.
