La Tape restaurant

Today I want to talk about the restaurant "The Tape", located in San Bernardo 88 street, in Madrid.

This is a restaurant that combines modern cuisine with craft beers brought from all over the world. They offer best advice for pairing beer with whatever you like to eat an extensive menu.

The place has two floors, on the ground floor has the bar with the craft beers, an area with high tables for tapas or taste them along with dishes, as well as coffees and homemade cakes, and Tape Away area where you can buy the dishes you want and take them home. It also has a small terrace to enjoy your beer and your tapas.

On the first floor are the living room and a comfortable reserved to sample the beers.

We sat in one of the high tables downstairs, the truth is that they are very comfortable, and we were great. They offered us the menu of dishes and beers, we chose several dishes to share and they recommended the house beer "Sex Tape," which they explained us it was Saison type and that performed in collaboration with a brewery, was scrumptious! We also tried Madrid 360 with an appetizer, it was in the menu, check it out, you have a lot to choose!

We ordered two dishes on the menu and two who recommended Victor, the chef, who was very friendly and kind to us, they were all really good, very original for its combination of ingredients. You can not miss the timbale of foie gras with caramelized apple and vanilla oil, who serve along with some toast, just spectacular!

Maki with black pudding and leeks

We also recommend the maki with black pudding and leeks, we love the mix with the sauce! For the second we ordered a pork tenderloin with cream of the cheese "torta del casar" and paprika from La Vera and a millefeuille cod brandade with manchego ratatouille and tomato popcorn. We liked the steak, the sauce was very good, and millefeuille cod brandade with ratatouille surprised us because they taste so rich as the two traditional dishes but with a modern and original presentation with tomato popcorn.

Finally, we asked two craft dessert tarts that have exposed in the Tape Away: red velvet cake and cheesecake. Both were so good, the carrot cake also looked very nice, so we will return to try it!

In short, we recommend you go to this restaurant, both for its modern cuisine, sure to surprise you like us, for the great variety of craft beers that they have, ideal for people who is starting in the world of beer as for experts looking for some surprise.

If you fancy going, a great opportunity will be during the 2015 Beerfest organized between September 22 and October 4, where they will make presentations of new beers, pairings with them, beer caps ... We will not miss it, so come with us!

Bon appétit!
