The first impression is clear. Roostiq’s torreznos look like a perfect, curved, elegant tile. A crunchy crust that “hides” the tender bacon underneath. Cut in very thin slices, these torreznos are among the best in Madrid not only for their final smoky flavor (they are usually paired with Champagne), but also because they are not fried, but baked. That’s it. You can make a reservation right here.

Located in one of the most gastronomic streets of Madrid, the bar is high and the team of Restaurante Ponzano with Paco, its owner, at the head, has managed to position (and how!) their torreznos. A classic dish that they have managed to make the most of. They remove the rind from the bacon before cooking it, and fry it in its own bacon, keeping all the flavor. You can make a reservation right here.
