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.
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.
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.
