El Brillante

No-nonsense bar famed for its calamares sandwich (b,l,d; €€)

El Brillante

A no-nonsense bar perched on the edge of the traffic-thronged roundabout opposite Atocha station, El Brillante lays a very convincing claim to serving up the best bocata de calamares in the city.

The perfect place for a quick snack after a morning at the nearby Reina Sofía art museum.
