TonTon

Tucked away in Madrid’s elegant Almagro neighborhood, TonTon is a moody, candlelit gem that feels like stepping into a sophisticated farmhouse. The space blends rustic elements—exposed brick, warm wood, and industrial steel—with an intimate wine bar atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. It’s the kind of place where you want to linger over a glass of something special and let the evening unfold naturally.

The kitchen at TonTon takes bold creative swings that somehow always land. Where else in Madrid can you find housemade kombucha sitting alongside reimagined gildas made with sardines in a lacto-fermented cucumber reduction? The menu delights in unexpected pairings—leeks with hazelnut on crispy flatbread, roasted quail adorned with kale and delicate edible flowers, fresh wild sea bass prepared with meticulous care. Each dish demonstrates a confident hand that knows exactly when to push boundaries and when to let quality ingredients speak for themselves.

Wine lovers will find their happy place here. The extensive list includes an impressive selection of orange wines, available by the glass for those who want to explore without committing to a full bottle. The candlelit ambiance practically begs you to work your way through the offerings, and the knowledgeable staff can guide you to pairings that elevate the already exceptional food.

TonTon hits the sweet spot for date nights, dinners with parents, or any occasion where you want to impress without being stuffy. It’s polished but never pretentious, inventive without being gimmicky. Come hungry, come curious, and definitely come thirsty.
