Not far from there, on Calle del Pez in Malasaña, we come across Zombie Bar, a hipster bar with an excellent sandwich menu that highlights the Milanese chicken with avocado, rocket and honey mustard, although its hamburgers are also worthy of trying. The place also offers some interesting modern details such as the double beer served in a crystal beer glass (with handle).

Another place you must not forget to visit is San Wich, on Calle Hortaleza, 78, considered sandwich paradise. It is a small bar that specialises in Chilean sandwiches, of which they have a large variety. The classic ones are the shredded beef or the chacarero, all of them made with fresh homemade bread, Chilean style. Those who have been there always go back. The best part is the quality of the sandwiches and the burgers; the worst is the small size of the place. It’s best to go during the week from Monday to Friday.

The sandwich is a gastronomic option that has evolved with time and has shown that it can also reach a gourmet category. Fancy coming on a sandwich route in Madrid? Stay at Hotel Moderno Puerta del Sol and enjoy excellent value for money in the best location in the city. Bon appetite!
