Tragatá

Chef's tapas (the bar of Benito Gómez, chef of Bardal) · Calle Nueva

Must try

The Michelin Guide recommends the confit pork belly mollete with cabbage, chipotle mayonnaise and coriander, and the fried sea bass in adobo with pico de gallo. In 2026 reviews: scallops, the squid sandwich, the chorizo brioche, the truffled escabeche omelette, the chicken cannelloni, ham croquettes, bone marrow with tartare and the flan.

About

The informal, sharing version from the chef of Bardal, right on Calle Nueva, a few metres from the Puente Nuevo. Small plates with traditional flavours and modern and fusion touches.

Good to know

Book on the website: you get 10 minutes' grace and then lose the table. Without a booking there is a waiting list (in April 2026 someone waited 45 minutes). The kitchen is slow and some find the portions on the small side. The toilets are very small.

Getting there and parking

Pedestrian street (its own website says so): park at the Martínez Astein car park (Av. Martínez Astein s/n, 24 h, €1.70/h) and walk to Plaza de España.
