Frommer's Review

This small bistro lies in the northern sector of Madrid and has been run by the family of Jorge García for more than a decade. It is decorated in typically inviting Mediterranean style with blue walls and with murals of rural landscapes, even a library of books. The restaurant is the only one in Madrid that blends the cuisine of the far north of Europe with that of the sunny Mediterranean countries. The family has a close relative in Norway who contributes to their Scandinavian recipes. The dishes are exquisitely prepared and based on the finest ingredients. Here, you can order everything from Norwegian herring in delectable marinades to arroz abanda, a variation of traditional paella using different varieties of seafood. One especially good dish is the roast ribs of tender baby lamb. Many vegetarians appreciate their parrillada de verduras, or grilled fresh vegetables. For dessert, opt for the Norwegian cookies with wild berries or freshly made crepes with applesauce.
