A one-dish argument two streets from Plaza Mayor: bacalao rebozado (battered, fried salt cod), bones removed by hand, served on the counter with a caña. No frills, no menu to speak of beyond the classics, and a queue of locals who have never needed to be told twice. Closed Mondays on principle — the kitchen rests, and Madrid waits.
