How can I describe Ruda? Words fall short when you have such a great team behind the mastermind of Álvaro Clavijo, but I'd like to highlight the work of Luis, Felipe, José, and Luis, who gave my wife and me the best possible experience. When we arrived, they sat down with us to explain the food and drink menu. This shows that behind such an elegant menu lies a friendly conversation that describes the process of preparing the food with love. After that, Luis told me about his experience managing Ruda, and as a restaurateur, I really appreciated him sharing his experience and being able to tell him about my dreams and my restaurant in Panama 🇵🇦. Regarding the food, we started with patatas bravas, tuna Sandor, and blood sausage croquettes. Everything was excellent. We ordered the DUPLA and ESCARLATA to drink (thank you, Felipe, for explaining everything about mycology). All that's left to say is thank you for such an excellent experience, a dream come true for me.

I loved the place; it's small but cozy. It's best to make a reservation in advance. When we arrived, they seated us at the bar since we didn't have one, but it was still fantastic. Perhaps because we were at the bar, the food took a little longer to arrive. The cocktails are delicious! I personally don't like cocktails, but these have a unique twist. I also loved the food; they have small plates perfect for sharing. We ordered patatas bravas, which were super crispy; black pudding croquettes; and a pincho (a small skewer) whose flavor was absolutely indescribable. Highly recommended.

The cocktails are great, the staff is super friendly but the bathroom is what took it to the next level. It is heated, candlelight, and aesthetically pleasing. I would live in this bathroom.

Nice and lay back with Cuban music

Ruda is a clandestine spot with an authentic speakeasy vibe, where the cocktails are anything but ordinary: unique, creative, and flawlessly crafted. The service is spectacular; attentive and friendly, elevating the experience to the highest level and setting it apart from the very first moment. And the food is equally impressive: delicious yet simple dishes, with interesting and well-thought-out preparations that perfectly complement the cocktails.
