TheTeatro Luchanais at Calle Luchana 38, near Bilbao, andÔVEN Fuencarralis about nine minutes away on foot along Fuencarral. It is the most convenient pairing in the area: a straightforward route through the centre, no complicated crossings and a kitchen still open when you leave.

Teatro Luchana and its four auditoriums

Luchana is not a large theatre staging a single show: its several auditoriums simultaneously host intimate theatre, stand-up comedy, children’s shows at weekends and late performances. This meanson the same day, shows may start at 17:00, 20:00 and 22:30.

That changes everything when planning dinner. The awkward slot is the 20:00 performance: it leaves you dining at 22:15, when many kitchens in Chamberí are already closing down. Knowing the opening hours helps.

Getting there from ÔVEN Fuencarral

From the theatre entrance, follow Luchana down to Glorieta de Bilbao, then continue along Fuencarral. Straight ahead, with no detours.
