Hideaway Report

"In addition to an excellent selection of wines by the glass, friendly Casa Lucas offers an intriguing selection of very inventive tapas. If it’s available, try the delicious “Madrid” — an intricate canapé of tomato, scrambled egg, blood sausage, pine nuts and raisins."

Lonely Planet

"Receiving plaudits from food critics and ordinary punters alike, Casa Lucas takes a sideways glance at traditional Spanish tapas and heads off in new directions (the grilled tenderloin of pork on candied onion is an example). There are a range of hot and cold tapas and larger raciones on the menu."

"Try the Madrid tapa, a canape spread with tomato confit topped with a mixture of scrambled egg, blood sausage, raisins and pine nuts, and decorated with fried potato sticks - a delectable spin on an old classic."

Janelle Norman

"Its tapas are imaginative and traditional at the same time. Try their “Madrid” tapa with scrambled egg and morcilla."

"Casa Lucas is a lively and busy bar where you can drink fine wines while enjoying some tapas. The menu includes delicious traditional tapas, but do ask for some advise regarding their modern variants."

Andrew Nash

"We had two excellent tapas meals at Casa Lucas Restaurant. The menu is short, but everything we tried was fine. The pork loin tapas were exceptional. The meal starts with a couple pieces of sausage on bread that arrives on your table (or on the bar) as you sit down. Next order beer or wine as you peruse the menu and choose several tapas to share. As I said everything was great and they had a pretty good English language menu."

Hostelworld

"A firm favourite among the many bars and restaurants in the La Latina area of Madrid, Casa Lucas is always a popular spot for tapas. There’s a variety of tapas dishes on offer here and some great wines."

"One tourist friendly tapas bar that should not be missed is Casa Lucas. A cozy, sleek tavern offering a range of wine and innovative yet traditional tapas."
