Frommer's Review
Set in a 19th-century building in the center of Cava Baja, this popular eating spot is renowned for its generous-sized quality steaks. The charming two-level dining area, with its red-brick walls, wooden beamed ceiling, and subtle halogen lighting, occupies the ground floor and basement areas. Maitre d' Angela Halty will guide you through the contents of the succinct menu and its accompanying wine list of full-bodied reds. Supreme highlight is the legendary chuletón de buey (huge ox steak -- rated as one of the best in Madrid), supported by tasty basics such alubias rojas de Tolosa (red Tolosa beans) and pimientos del piquillo (baked spicy peppers). Fresh espárragos (asparagus) and cogollos (lettuce hearts) are summer favorites. Also first rate are the merluza (hake) and salty Idiazábal cheese. It's all good but not cheap. Don't forget to check the prices before you order!
