La Fonda brings a rustic-luxe charm to salubrious Salamanca, Madrid’s best shopping area. A chic part-brass door on Calle Lagasca leads to a beautiful barn-like space where a chestnut-coloured wood panelled roof arches above neat rows of wicker armchairs set either side of crisp white perfectly set tables. La Fonda’s kitchen stands out for the consistent quality of its traditional, loosely Mediterranean, market dishes such as snail stew, best cut of rabbit with aioli, and fleshy, punchy bacalao – handmade dry salt codfish that’s as popular today as it was generations ago among the fridge-less folk of small Spanish pueblos.
