Lunch with Friends in Madrid: castizo cooking with a Basque touch to share in La Latina

Madrid is a city that lives in the street and at the table. Meeting up for lunch with your friends is a ritual, and La Latina is the neighbourhood where that ritual feels most authentic.

Castizo cooking with a Basque touch is ideal for eating in a group: dishes with character, quality ingredients and a way of sitting at the table that invites sharing.

The ideal place to meet friends for lunch

At number 26 Cava Baja you'll find Txakolina, a restaurant that combines northern cooking with the unmistakable atmosphere of the neighbourhood.

If you are looking for where to eat on Cava Baja with a group of friends, Txakolina is the answer you are looking for.

Dishes to share and enjoy together

Among our most representative dishes:

A reinterpretation of a Castilian classic, with careful technique and modern presentation. Tender meat, intense flavours and plating that impresses at first sight.

Madrid tradition paired with a sauce of Basque roots, served in an original format and made for sharing.

Small bites that reflect our Basque touch, ideal to start a meal or to go with a good glass of wine.

The experience is completed by a careful selection of wines and labels that connect us to the north of Spain.

La Latina, the neighbourhood that invites you to stay

La Latina is where Madrileños meet for the lunches that matter. Its streets have seen generations of friends sit down at the table and not get up until the conversation was over too.
