About this spot
El Telegrama de Madrid is one of the best spots in Lavapiés, Madrid. Not a tourist tapas trap — this is where locals actually go.
💡 Tips before you go
- Lunch is 14:00-16:00, dinner after 21:00 — eating at 18:00 marks you as a tourist
- Tapas at the bar, not at a table
- The menú del día (lunch set menu) is always the best deal
- Tipping not expected — just round up if the service was great
