La Pecera del Circulo
About
Nestled in the historic Circle of Arts in Madrid, La Pecera del Círculo marries 20‑year‑old Spanish culinary tradition with contemporary flair. The space—originally designed by Antonio Palacios—offers grand frescoes, vaulted ceilings, and panoramic views of the city from its terrace on Calle Alcalá. The menu blends classic tapas, daily à la menu dishes, and a live‑sporting bar with over 800 spirits in its bar collection. Whether you’re sipping a wine from the “Pipa,” enjoying a full dinner, or stopping for a morning coffee, the ambience evokes the romance of old European cafés while catering to modern diners. Reservations are encouraged, especially during late‑night hours—open until 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays—making it an ideal night‑out spot for locals and tourists alike.
