03The beef

By the kilo: Chuleta Extra €140, Selección Lana €190, Buey Selección Lana €310. The Michelin Guide notes cuts of several breeds on show at the entrance: Aberdeen Angus, Wagyu, Hereford, Galician cow. Vegetables go over the coals too: leeks, shallots, cabbage, €8 each. Chips come fried in beef fat, €10.

04The fire

Open grill, in full view. Argentine quebracho. Steady heat, clean smoke, in the jury's words. Madrid's tourism site says the meat is grilled Basque style. It calls Lana a contemporary grill, apart from the typical Argentine asador. Time Out adds seasonal vegetables cooked over the fire.

05The story

Martín and Joaquín Narvaiz Fernández grew up on La Azucena, an estancia in Tandil, Buenos Aires province. Martín came to Madrid at 19. The idea for Lana dates from 2017. Before it, the brothers opened and closed other businesses, a specialty café in Chamberí among them. Lana opened in January 2022, in a former supermarket, after two and a half years of works. The pandemic left the build half-done. Twice it nearly did not open, Martín told La Nación. Family help and debt carried it through. The team is 24 people, many of them Argentine. The main table recalls the family house on La Azucena.
