Tatel

The biggest restaurant news in Madrid is the opening of the joint venture of Spanish superstars Rafael Nadal, Pau Gasol, Enrique Iglesias and others who have teamed up to create what they hope will be the ultimate watering hole to represent the Spanish good life around the globe. The global celebrities wisely partnered with the successful beach club owners behind Blue Marlin and Ushuaia of Ibiza. With a stylish, clubby atmosphere (leather banquettes, fireplace nooks and modern Spanish art), Tatel has only been open since May and already reservations take weeks to secure. The chef serves traditional Spanish classics like gazpacho and jamon Serrano and there are plans to export the brand to Ibiza and Miami this year and possibly Mexico and London next.
