Juanjo López’s intimate, produce-led restaurant near Gran Vía, built around seasonal market ingredients and a changing menu rather than a fixed list of signature dishes.
Why It Belongs on the List
La Tasquita de Enfrente is a small, market-driven restaurant on Calle de la Ballesta led by Juanjo López. The kitchen’s focus is ingredient quality and restrained treatment, with the offering changing according to the market. Older descriptions overstate the lack of choice and promise a specific advance-booking window; availability can be much tighter. Discuss allergies and preferences before booking, reserve through the current channel, and confirm the menu format and price for the date.
