What to do on an American holiday in Spain? We were aiming for a longer lunch somewhere, but while doing other errands, we came across Lateral at their Velázquez 57 location. The modern chairs looked promising and we were getting tired, so we went in.
Instead of a full lunch menu, Lateral serves up individual sized tapas and larger "porciones" to share. We had the excellent Lateral salad (tomatoes, mozzarella slices and jamon), which was a recommendation from the waitress. We also got croquettes with jamon, and two slices of toast with brie and sweet olive tapanade. For dessert, since it was a holiday, we had coffees and a slice of chocolate cake served with cream. (Full disclosure: We weren't sure if the cream was for the cake or for the coffee, but we just put it on anyway). The total bill came to 27 Euros with two glasses of wine.
During the lunch hour, the place got pretty busy. One interesting thing was that you could press a button at your table to call your waitperson or ask for the check. After checking out their website when we got home, it looks like we stumbled on a art/food/culture center with several locations across town. Bottom line: we'll return.
