**MAKE A RESERVATION**
Like all the poppin' bars/restaurants in Madrid, if you want a guaranteed meal - make a reservation! I've been here twice. Once in January 2019 and the second time in March 2019. The first time I made a reservation, I was able to do it through The Fork Manager via TripAdvisor. The second time, I was having issues trying to confirm our reservation through the fork, so I used Google's reservation system (easily accessible by googling InClan).
So, what brought us back? The ambiance is cool and kinda edgy. They have a more modern take on tapas, and their drinks are so unique and instagram worthy, ha!
Things I've tried on their menu:
- **Potato Wedges with BRUTAL Sauce: This is really their take on patatas bravas, but I AM HERE FOR IT! The brutal sauce is mayo, chipotle and coriander. If you get the super tapa, it's a good portion for 4 people
- **Retired Beef Steak: A giant slab of beef on a sizzling plate with a few potatoes. My husband and I made the mistake of ordering it for two the first time. We ordered it again the second time but shared it with our friends. They do serve it a bit more on the rare side, so just keep that in mind. I did request for it to be well done, but majority of the steak was still pretty damn rare. We used the sizzling plate to cook some of the pieces.
- **Pink Sangria
- **Mother of Dragons: Drink comes IN a dragon egg, and kind of tastes like those old school smarties candies. Instagram worthy.
- **Octopus tentacle with truffled parmentier and fume under a dome: this is literally the entire title of this dish in the menu. Could really just be a serving for 1-2 people, depending on if they feel like sharing, because it's quite literally ONE piece of tentacle. So order if you're feeling bougie and extra, don't forget to instagram it cause it looks EXTRA with the smoke.
- **Brutal bao with meat cooked at low temperature and spicy sauce
- "Pachon" hot dog: not one of my favorites, served in a dog bowl
- Burrata injected with basil and cherry tomatoes: ordered this not knowing it's basically a giant ball of mozzarella. I mean, I love cheese but NOT THAT MUCH.
**= indicates it's a favorite of mine
The service is so-so. The bathroom is a bit confusing since there is both a men's stall and woman's stall in the bathroom. But overall, it's a dope place to have dinner! Our friends loved it as much as we enjoyed it our first time!
And that's the tea on InClan Brutal Bar. read more
