La Taberna del Alabardero

90-110 €



Situated close to the Royal Palace (Teatro Real) and owned by an ex-priest, Father Lezama, this Basque restaurant is known for its tasty tapas selections, fresh ingredients, and options of dining at the bar or in the rear of the tavern.

With a quiet terraza on the street that runs along the north side of the Teatro Real, it is still one of the most popular post-theatre dining spots, serving traditional tapas at the bar and Basque cuisine in the restaurant in the back.

Photographs of famous former patrons, including Nelson Rockefeller and race-car driver Jackie Stewart, line the walls. The restaurant in the rear is said to be one of the city's best-kept secrets.
