Bodegas Rosell

We got off to a shaky start here when the matriarch of the bar told my husband off for standing in the wrong place. However my husband was delighted about being mistaken for Spanish and understood the telling off so we moved down the bar and had some genuinely lovely tapas and vermut. The bar was busy and had a great atmosphere and the staff are fast and efficient. The tostas are a great bar snack and they are generous in the toppings - I had bacalao de Rosell and it did not disappoint, lots of cod and garlic on crispy toast which made a great partner to my drink. It seemed like a food tour party was in at the same time as us and the dishes they had looked fabulous - the alchofas (artichokes) and meatballs seemed to be big hits. If you like La Cova Fumada in Barcelona, this is a great place to have on your Madrid list.
