Los Porfiados, Argentine restaurant in Lavapiés, Madrid, Spain
Los Porfiados is an Argentine restaurant in Madrid located within a restored building that features high ceilings, recycled furniture, and vintage tableware throughout the dining space. The room takes on its character from the combination of recovered materials and collected pieces.
The restaurant was created when four friends pooled their savings to revive a long-abandoned space in the Lavapiés district. This transformation of a closed location into an operating establishment marks the origin of the business.
The menu blends Argentine and Spanish cuisines, with empanadas alongside gazpacho and Mediterranean seafood, creating a meeting point of two food traditions. Visitors experience how this fusion shapes the daily rhythm of the dining room.
The establishment opens Tuesday through Sunday from 8 PM, staying open until midnight on weekends. Credit card payments are accepted, and advance reservations are advisable, particularly during weekend evenings.
The dining room is furnished with family pieces belonging to the founders, mixed with recovered objects to create a wholly personal environment. This intimate touch gives the restaurant a warmth that mass-produced interiors rarely achieve.
