Viavélez

Paco Ron’s celebrated seafood restaurant near the Bernabéu stadium is named for the Asturian fishing village where he made his name. It is split between a casual taberna and a more formal restaurant where traditional techniques and high-quality market ingredients are the order of the day. The tavern excels at good value canapés, followed by shared raciones of coastal classics like chipirones (baby squid) with aioli and boquerones fritos (deep-fried anchovies). The restaurant focuses on Asturian soups and stews followed by hearty fish and meat entrees, with a terrific selection of Spanish wines. The fixed prices of the daily set menus at both have stayed admirably low.
