Farah

Tucked away in the charming La Latina neighborhood of Madrid, Farah offers the kind of intimate dining experience that feels like stepping into a stylish friend’s living room. With cozy sofas, vintage seating, and warm lighting that flatters everyone, this Mediterranean gem has become a go-to destination for couples looking for a memorable evening out.

The kitchen focuses on fresh, seasonal Mediterranean small plates that showcase quality ingredients at their finest. The star of the show might just be the Albesa tomatoes—massive, low-acidic beauties from Catalonia that arrive simply dressed with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. It sounds modest, but one bite reveals flavor so robust it could convert even the most dedicated vegetable skeptic. When you’re ready for a main event, the wild sea bass arrives impressively plated, incredibly fresh, and finished with tahini and capers.

Farah draws a hip local crowd who appreciate both the laid-back atmosphere and the carefully sourced ingredients. It’s the kind of place where you can settle into a conversation over shared plates and let the evening unfold naturally. The low-key sophistication makes it particularly well-suited for first dates or any occasion where you want to impress without trying too hard.

For a romantic dinner in Madrid that prioritizes quality over flash, Farah delivers exactly what you’re looking for. Come hungry, order generously, and don’t skip the tomatoes.
