Casa Toni's exterior in the Huertas neighborhood.

Casa Toni

Madrid


Locals flock to Casa Toni, one of Madrid's best old-school Spanish bars, for simple, honest cuisine fresh off the griddle. Specialities include cuttlefish, gazpacho and offal – the crispy (some would say gristly) pork ear is out of this world. While you’re there, you can try one of the local Madrid wines. The prices are great and the old Madrid charm can't be beat.
