OrderBerenjenas califales, aubergines sauteed in Pedro Ximénez.

TipThe kitchen runs straight through from 12:30 to 23:30, which makes this the Judería fallback when everything else is between services.

El Envero ★ 4.4

€€€ Spanish

El Envero cooks contemporary seasonal food out on Calle Teruel with a wine list renewed as often as the menu, a locals' room away from the Judería.

OrderCibarium, the middle menu, is the sensible first visit before committing to the full Terra Olea.
