Casa González Tapas

In 1931 Vicente González Ambit, our grandfather, opened Casa González to offer the best products to its customers. Since then we have remained open and are, with pride, the oldest business in the Barrio de las Letras. We have not only maintained the management, but also the foundational philosophy in store and bar. It is our IDENTITY READ MORE Since the 90s we have a shop and bar where the maxim is always the satisfaction of those who visit us. Our specialty, as always, are cheeses, Iberian and quality Spanish wines that can now also be received at home through our Online Store.

Were Woody Allen to set one of his romantic European whimsies in Madrid, Casa Gonzalez – with its picture-perfect yesteryear facade, smartly tiled interior and moreish hoard of conserves, cheese and charcuterie – would be a shoo-in for the romantic Spanish bar scene. What’s more, the good-humoured and well-moustached owner Paco (whose grandfather founded the place in 1931) keeps a knockout cellar at this wine bar-slash-deli. Nab a table near the big bay window, load it with jamón ibérico de bellota (acorn-fed Iberian ham, €10.10), cured manchego cheese (€6), and a spicy bottle of red and watch the light fade over the cobblestones outside – a most cinematic start to any tapas crawl.
