Restaurante Julián de Tolosa

La Latina & Lavapiés


Basque-Navarran cuisine is treated with respect at this classy place that's popular with celebrities and well regarded by food critics. There are only four main dishes to choose from – two fish and two meat – and they haven't changed in years, but there's still a contemporary feel. Why change the chuletón (T-bone steak) when it's already close to perfection?
