La Musa

La Musa Review

The trendy, elegant vibe and creative menu of unique salads and tapas (try the bomba, a potato filled with meat or vegetables in a spinach sauce, or the huge marinated venison brochette) draw a stylish young crowd. Breakfast is served during the week, and there's a good fixed-price lunch menu. The second, bigger location in Plaza de la Paja in La Latina has a larger menu and an even trendier adjunct speakeasy-restaurant in the basement called Junk Club—it has vintage decor and über-sophisticated dishes such as the ribs Cuba Libre (in a rum-and-Coke sauce) and a reinvented chocolate con churros, served here in a cup with foie and mascarpone cream, with churros on the side. Show up early or expect to wait.
