Located in the Las Salesas neighborhood, Media Ración is a restaurant focused on product. A place to go when you are looking to eat and drink well, where you will always experience exquisite treatment.
In its menu you will find quality gastronomic offerings and traditional dishes. In addition, seasonal products are always used. As Antonio del Álamo, Media Ration chef and defender of traditional and product cooking, says: “if you begin with a good product, the less the cook touches it, the better”. Without a doubt, this is the best way to define the philosophy of this restaurant.
In your menu you can find dishes such as pickled ray, one of his best sellers. The beans with peas and poached egg, or the chickpeas with carbonara are classic dishes that always feel right. The steak tartar or the salad are some of the options that conquer all the tables where they are served. And the grilled Skrei, a dish you’ll find in season, is a great option for fish lovers.
Any of your dishes can be paired with the wines that you will find in the cellar. At Media Ration they have a wine list with national and international denominations, in which you will discover new references and regions.
As indicated by its name, this restaurant is committed to half rations , a highly recommended option when ordering, since this size is designed for sharing, and thus savoring, more variety of dishes.
Media Ration is divided into two zones, the dining room and the bar . The latter has great prominence in this restaurant, being a perfect place to enjoy tapas and good wines. In this area, the menu continues to maintain the best products, where you can pair the wine with spicy sardines or white clams.
Media Ración is a place to enjoy the best raw material linked to tradition. A space that claims the half rations that were so typical in the Madrid restoration and that also pays homage to the bars of all life.
