Taberna Laredo
Order featherlight tempura of baby vegetables highlighted with a sweet-tart reduction of sherry vinegar. It seems incongruous, feasting on truffled beef tartare and porcini-and–foie gras risotto in a plain brown joint where only a pile of fresh morels on the counter betrays the kitchen’s ambition. The ingredient-obsessed David Laredo is at the stoves; his brother features pioneering producers on his 250-label carta de vinos.
From the May 2008 Food & Wine Go List
A popular haunt of the city’s food critics and chefs, this unremarkable-looking tapas bar near Retiro Park serves chef David Laredo’s exquisite market-driven dishes. The wine list is heavy on interesting choices, such as Sketch, a biodynamic Albariño.
We loved: Salmorejo, a thick gazpacho; seasonal vegetable tempura with sweet sherry vinegar.
