Assim que entras, do lado direito está uma parede com uma fotografia das esculturas de ferro de Eduardo Chillida, o Peine del Viento. Elas são um dos símbolos de San Sebastián o que quer dizer que quando entras no Txirimiri será para comer pinchos e tapas como se estivesses nessa cidade do norte de Espanha.
As soon as you get in, on your right side there's a wall with a picture of the iron sculputures of Eduardo Chillida, the "Peine del Viento". They are one of the symbols of San Sebastián which means that when you get into Txirimiri is to eat the pinchos and tapas like you were in that city of the north of Spain.
Podes ficar no balcão e comer um pincho enquanto bebes um copo ou sentar-te e escolher pinchos e tapas da carta ou do quadro que têm na parede onde colocam algumas das recomendações do dia.
Nós começámos por pedir uma salada de queijo de cabra, tomate assado e bacon frito, á qual tenho que admitir que não encontrei o tal bacon de forma alguma, mas estava óptima.

Depois pedimos Bacalhau em Tempura que vinha numa cama de pisto (pimentos, tomate e cebola fritos), o bacalhau não era salgado e extremamente suave. Também foi uma boa escolha.
Pedimos depois o pincho de "solomillo" com cebola caramelizada e pimentos, a carne estava óptima e bastante saborosa.
You can stay at the counter and eat a pincho while drinking something or you can seat down and choose the pinchos and tapas from the menu or the board they have on a wall where they put some of the day's recommendations.
We started by ordering a goat cheese salad with roasted tomatoes and fried bacon, I must admit I couldn't find the bacon in any way, but it was great.
After it we asked for the Cod in Tempura that came with "pisto" (a mixture of fried peppers, tomatoes and onions), the cod was not salty and was very smooth. It was also a good choice.
Then we order the "solomillo" (beef) pincho with caramelized onions and pepper, the meat was great and quite tasty.

Por último ainda tivémos espaço para sobremesas, neste caso recomendadas pelo o empregado, uma era um brownie com gelado e a outra uma tarte de nata com massa folhada e doce de leite. São boas, mas não são espectaculares. Creio que vais mais ao Txirimiri pelos pinchos e tapas que própriamente pelas sobremesas.
No final pagámos 50€ por duas pessoas, um saldo pesado para quem quer "petiscar" mas quem acha que comer assim em San Sebastián é barato está enganado e muito menos em Madrid. Seria barato se tivéssemos ficado ao balcão a comer pinchos dos mais pequenos mas não teríamos saído tão satisfeitos.
O espaço é agradável e acolhedor, dizem que costuma encher mas nós fomos á hora do almoço antes da confusão (que começa ás 15h) e o atendimento foi simpático.
Têm restaurantes noutras zonas de Madrid e é sem dúvida um lugar a repetir.
In the end we had some room for desserst, in this case they were recommended by the waiter, one was a brownie with icecream and another one was made of cream with puff pastry and sweet milk or caramel fudge. They were great, but not amazing. I think that you go to Txirimiri for it's pinchos and tapas not for it's desserts.
In the end we paid 50€ for two, it's an heavy billl for those who want to "snack" but it one thinks that eating like this in San Sebastián it is wrong and much less in Madrid. It would be cheaper if we had stayed in the counter eating smaller pinchos but we wouldn't come out as satisfied.
The space is nice and cozy, they say it's usually crowded but we went at lunch hour before it gets full (that start's by 15h) and the service was also nice.
They have restaurants in other Madrid areas and it is without a doubt a place to repeat.
