Julian de Tolosa

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. 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) and 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!
