play07:03

okay so they do not make bars like this

play07:06

one anymore I love the awkward space and

play07:08

everybody packs into this tiny little

play07:10

space there's often a queue outside the

play07:12

wine they serve it's simple but it's

play07:15

classic if you came to Madrid 50 100

play07:17

years ago this is what people were

play07:19

drinking and of course the piece de La

play07:21

Resistance they do one thing well they

play07:24

do a few things but really they do one

play07:25

thing they're French will they do it

play07:26

well bakalao salt cloth this is the best

play07:29

salt cod in Madrid let's go

play07:33

oh my God right

play07:36

crispy on the outside so flaky and moist

play07:39

on the inside and there's like the

play07:41

secret layer of like something fatty

play07:42

just under the batter Yoli has it been a

play07:45

while since you've had the bucket oh

play07:46

yeah

play07:48

delicious come on taste these guys so

play07:52

play08:04

back all right I'm on my own Yoli's left

play08:07

we need it for move there comes a moment

play08:09

in every day when you say to yourself I

play08:12

could go with vermouth about now and in

play08:14

my humble opinion Cabernet Concha is the

play08:16

best place to enjoy this pre-lunch

play08:18

ritual

play08:21

very cool so here's the thing vermouth

play08:24

for me is so much more than just a drink

play08:26

yeah okay it's a fortified wine but it's

play08:29

actually a ritual and that's the key to

play08:31

understanding it you know it's that

play08:32

moment before lunch when you're excited

play08:34

you're meeting your friends and you're

play08:36

just having your first drink it almost

play08:37

tastes like hope hope that you'll have a

play08:39

wonderful big long lunch and what I love

play08:41

here in La Concha is that they make it a

play08:43

ritual with the way they put it together

play08:49

let's see if it's how I remember

play08:51

[Music]

play08:55

play09:09

oh it's better than I thought it would

play09:12

be Gorgonzola ice cream

play09:21

play09:28

that Yoli just stop and gather ourselves

play17:49

make hunger we need to make hunger we

play17:51

must make hunger t-shirt all right let's

play17:54

go okay so we have a little problem I

play17:57

told you in this video I was going to

play17:59

take you to my 10 favorite places I'm

play18:01

actually taking you to 11 places because

play18:03

I couldn't Whittle it down I struggled

play18:05

but I'm going to get around this on a

play18:07

technicality we're going to call the

play18:09

next two places one place which kind of

play18:12

makes sense because they're kind of like

play18:13

a two punch they're sort of part of the

play18:15

same play and they go wonderfully

play18:17

together and first up La Casa de la

play18:19

Abuelo if I had to live off one dish for

play18:22

the rest of my life hands down it would

play18:24

be Gamba salad garlic shrimp and the

play18:27

best place to get it

play18:29

family run since 1906.

play18:45

so you're like you're the expert on

play18:47

these why is it so good I think

play18:49

everything about this place is like

play18:51

amazing like the texture the flavor the

play18:54

the

play18:55

olive oil in there the parsley the

play18:57

garlic the chilies you just named all

play18:59

the ingredients

play19:01

it's just perfect perfect for me I don't

play19:04

know it's like the plate for Life make

play19:05

sure that you get plenty of bread and

play19:08

just dip it dip it dip it in this

play19:09

beautiful yummy sauce

play19:18

burning my throat I'm so eager to eat

play19:20

them you can get this dish all over

play19:22

Madrid but there's something about how

play19:24

they do it here the waiters get here in

play19:26

the morning and start peeling the shrimp

play19:27

these are plump they're firm they're big

play19:29

and the classic clay was to pair it all

play19:32

with this sweet wine that they make

play19:33

themselves and these little glasses

play19:36

Chateau glasses they don't make them

play19:37

anymore so these guys make their own to

play19:40

keep the tradition alive and it piss

play19:41

perfectly

play19:43

and what I love so much about this place

play19:45

true Madrid style the kitchen is just a

play19:47

little corner of the bar with a grill

play19:48

and a fryer and your food is cooked

play19:51

right before your eyes but you're not

play19:52

play23:52

Tapas so when I moved to Madrid there

play23:55

really drink quality wine which was

play23:58

frustrating but that has changed in

play24:00

recent years in lafizna this place

play24:02

pre-opening now is for me the best place

play24:05

in the city drink wine and eat great

play24:07

play24:08

out the back as well you can drink wine

play24:11

from the shop coming to a place like
