Delic

Top choice in La Latina & Lavapiés

LoginSave

We could go on for hours about this long-standing cafe-bar, but we’ll reduce it to its most basic elements: nursing an exceptionally good mojito or three on a warm summer’s evening at Delic’s outdoor tables on one of Madrid’s prettiest plazas is one of life’s great pleasures. Bliss.

Due to local licensing restrictions, the outdoor tables close two hours before closing time, whereafter the intimate interior is almost as good. There's also an especially wide range of gin and tonics, and a creative food menu to keep the munchies at bay.
