Los 33 – Where Fire, Heritage and clear Visions Ignite
Tucked into the lively streets of the Salesas district, Los 33 is a culinary gem that seamlessly fuses Spanish tradition with South American fire, under the confident and creative direction of Chef Oswaldo. With its warm yet contemporary atmosphere, the restaurant has quickly become a reference point for those seeking bold, soulful flavours delivered with finesse.
Chef Oswaldo’s culinary identity is rooted in the parrilla tradition, but his menu is far more than just grilled meat—it’s a refined celebration of both Iberian and Latin American influences, crafted with precision and an eye for detail. His signature Galician Rubia steak, dry-aged for 60 days, is a showstopper: rich, earthy and deeply satisfying. Cooked over open embers, it captures the essence of wood-fired perfection.
Equally impressive are the starters and small bites, where Oswaldo’s technique shines in more delicate expressions. The veal sweetbreads, crisp on the outside and melting within, are among the best in the world. Ham croquettes and the grilled Bikini sandwich deliver comfort and nostalgia with gourmet precision—each bite layered with texture and intent.
The menu flows with purpose, honouring Spanish produce and South American soul. The sides and accompaniments—think charred seasonal vegetables, piquant chimichurri, or silky purées—provide both balance and elevation, making the meal feel complete yet never overworked.
The wine list at Los 33 is as thoughtful as the food. Predominantly Spanish in its structure, it also ventures into Latin American and Old World territories with intention. The staff are not only attentive and gracious but clearly passionate—ready to suggest a Ribera del Duero or a bold Tannat to accompany the heat and complexity of the grill.
Service is polished yet personal, with a team that moves fluidly between professionalism and warmth. Whether you’re seated at the bar for a quick bite or settling in for a long evening around the fire, you’re in capable, confident hands.
In 2025, Los 33 continues to distinguish itself—not only as one of Madrid’s most engaging dining experiences, but as a place where the vision of the owner and power couple Nacho Ventosa and Sara Aznar turns tradition into something both exciting and enduring. It’s a restaurant where every plate tells a story of fire, craft and cultural convergence.
