Croquetes i “zapatilla” genial. Si no mengeu molt compartiu ne una. I croquetes tambe mitja racio. En Just be foodie diuen que “El BAR MELOS és un dels bars més clàssics de Lavapiés. A finals de l'any 2020 tancava les portes i aleshores, els seus amos, Jose Ramón i Encarni, somiaven que el traspàs del local i de la carta es fessin efectius. Dit i fet, passats uns mesos Rafael Riqueni, veí de tota la vida del barri i assidu al Bar Melos, estava fent números i convencent el seu amic de la infància, Ignacio Revuelta, per fer el seu somni realitat. Ho van aconseguir! Van convèncer amb la seva proposta de mantenir-ho tot, el local, la carta i l'essència de l'antic Bar Melos. A nosaltres ens van donar una alegria en saber que un dels locals més coneguts de Lavapiés tornava a obrir les portes i que, a més, es continuaria amb la tradició. El 'Bar Melos' no deixa de ser un bar dels de tota la vida, dels bars en què es fa família, el punt de reunió dels amics i, en aquest cas, on gaudir de menjar del tota la vida amb un origen gallec. La carta continua sent reduïda, tal com era, però és que perquè tornar-se boig si l'important és que allò que fas, ho facis bé. Els nous amos han volgut mantenir aquesta idea i continuar donant continuïtat a la carta, encara que pel que hem llegit potser incloguin alguna petita novetat. Tal és la idea de continuista que els antics amos els han ensenyat les receptes (excepte la de les croquetes) i els han presentat als seus proveïdors perquè tot pugui continuar de la mateixa manera. Per cert, al Bar Melos no es reserva. Els caps de setmana és una autèntica bogeria la gent que es congrega a les seves taules ia la part exterior per asseure's en una de les seves taules. Això sí, la rotació sol ser força alta. Entre setmana sol estar més tranquil, en comparació del cap...

Good for groups of up to 8, if you get there right at open! Great place to take your friends (or family) who keep bothering you for a real Spanish experience. Order the sandwich at your own risk, but dress to impress with a ración de Morcilla, and don’t tell your visitors what it is until they’ve decided for themselves how delicious it is. There’s frankly nothing bad on the menu - just varying degrees of tasty (padrones are admittedly, hard to screw up so maybe that’s unearned praise, but the croquetas are bomb). It’s worth ordering a bottle of wine with your plates, just for...

Simply amazing!!! Very professional staff and delicious food! It's a busy bar and they manage to serve everyone quickly! The "zapatilha" is delicious! It's a huge sandwich stuffed with a lot of cheese and fresh ham. Definitely you should try this! Next time I am in Madrid, I will have zapatilha again. Also, the croquetas are divine!!! Crispy outside and soft inside. Manage it to having both when you go there (Yes, you are going to get really full before leaving this place!) 5 stars is not enough. It's a simple bar where you are treated well and have delicious food.
