La Cantina: the wine bar where you eat on a swing

You descend the hand-painted stairs and Madrid disappears. La Cantina is a two-level subterranean universe bathed in ottanio blue, with gilded shelves that run around the perimeter like a theater and ceilings you wouldn't expect to find underground.

Hundreds of references under Chamberí

Our wine cellar functions like a wine library: hundreds of labels featuring distinctive Italian grapes—Sangiovese, Barbera, Nebbiolo—, whites from northern Italy, and a selection of Spanish wines designed for grilling. Mario Caruso, our sommelier, curates each label.

Wine Cellar Letter

How many times have you eaten while sitting on a swing?

At La Cantina, the seats hang from the ceiling. We're the only restaurant in Madrid where you can dine in suspended swings—and it's one of those things you have to do at least once. After trying it, regular chairs seem insignificant.

Tastings, literary salons and private events

La Cantina is more than just a wine cellar: it's a venue. It hosts tastings, book launches, literary gatherings, and private events. If you're looking for a space in Madrid that your guests haven't seen before, this is the place to start.
