Chamberí
Residential, low-tourist and gastronomically essential, where Madrid actually eats along the Ponzano corridor.
Residential and largely tourist-free, Chamberí is the engine room of modern Madrid gastronomy, anchored by the café life of the octagonal Plaza de Olavide and the Calle Ponzano corridor of gastro-tapas bars and by-the-glass wine lists. This is where chefs run their own rooms and where the city actually eats, from the open counters of forward-looking tapas to the long-running classics. For anyone reading the chapter, it is the single most important barrio to understand how Madrid dines today.
