Pez Tortilla, Spanish tapas restaurant and craft beer bar in Malasaña, Madrid, Spain
Pez Tortilla is a tapas restaurant and craft beer bar in Madrid's Malasaña neighborhood dedicated to Spanish tortillas made with diverse ingredients. The compact space blends an extensive beer collection with a focused menu of egg-based dishes.
The place was founded by three childhood friends who sketched their business idea on a bar napkin while sharing beers together. This casual spark of inspiration led to a restaurant combining local ingredients and community spirit.
The restaurant reflects how locals gather around tortillas in Madrid, serving them the traditional way with soft, runny centers as people have enjoyed for generations. This is where everyday dining becomes a social ritual for the neighborhood.
The spot opens from midday through midnight most days, extending to 1 AM on Thursday to Saturday, and operates on a walk-in basis without reservations. With limited seating in a compact room, expect crowds during peak evening hours and plan accordingly.
The menu features unexpected tortilla combinations like parmesan with basil and sun-dried tomatoes, carefully paired with specific craft beers to complement each other. This thoughtful approach transforms simple egg dishes into something more memorable.
