One of the best options for Japanese food in Chueca. This small restaurant, elegantly decorated in a contemporary style, has a perfect balance between sobriety and sophistication. In the luminous dining room, you will enjoy delicious and healthy food, where the main protagonist is the freshest of seafood which takes the sushi to the next level.
Chef Izakaya suggests starting off with a combination of different varieties to get a feel for the cuisine he has developed. A perfect option for those seeking a Japanese restaurant in Chueca or near Gran Via street.
When a local Madrileno thinks of a tavern what comes to mind is a tortilla, Rioja wine, and tapas… but not so much sushis, sashimis, makis, or bibimbap. We could argue that Izakaya gets as close to a tavern as a Japanese restaurant can. But this is what Izakaya is, and actually what it means: Han´s tavern.
offers elaborations more rooted in the “real” Japanese and Korean gastronomy than what local palates from Madrid are used to. .This is a journey to Japan and its flavors dring your journey in Spain, and in our view very much worth it!

Despite Madrid is a melting pot of Spanish cultures, and that you will be able to find restaurants that specialize in gastronomy from all regions of Spain, there are some dishes which are typical “Madrileños”.
Cocido madrileño is Madrid´s best-known dishes. A chickpea stew served in many different formats, this is a great option to enjoy in winter, especially at some of the restaurants that specialize in cocido. Bocadillo de calamares is a cheap way to enjoy a simple lunch or dinner. A very simple dish can be delicious if all ingredients (squid,oil and bread) are of excellent quality. Callos a la madrileña: this is a beef tripe stew and many traditional restaurants are proud to serve “the best callos in Madrid”

There is no precise rule as to how much to tip in Spain. Spaniards only tip if they consider the service to be good. A 5% is normally considered a good tip. Having said this, some local waiters know tourists tip more than local Spaniards do and may expect more from foreigners.
