Gastrobar 76

Even though it’s only been open for a few short months, I think that it’s become one of the mandatory destinations for anyone who loves the “gastrobar” concept, along with a great drink (gin and tonics in my case).

The place is amazing. It’s right in front of the Parque del Oeste (Madrid’s Western Park) and has big windows that give the place a really splendid atmosphere. It has a sophisticated decoration, New York style, with colored lights (giving it a somewhat tacky feel at the same time). It’s divided into two parts, a restaurant and a cocktail lounge. But it’s not your typical restaurant that is bothered if you’re just hanging out in the cocktail lounge and still ask for something to eat. As a matter of fact, the service is excellent.

This is a great place to have a gin and tonic in the summertime.
