Restaurants cuisine du monde Madrid

You'll hardly find more royalty in the coffee category! Located just outside the Teatro Real (Opera House) and opposite the Royal Palace, you are truly in the heart of the emblematic monuments of the Spanish monarchy. Moreover, on the Plaza Oriente, statues of Spanish kings make us review the family tree of royalty. At the Cafe de Oriente, you will have lunch on a large terrace or in an interior, early 20th century atmosphere. A little more expensive than elsewhere, though. But the incredible view of the Royal Palace comes at a price

Despite its chic, stuffy look, Gloria de Montera is a favorite with Madrid's trendy youth. As soon as it's time for dinner, people flock here to sample the excellent Mediterranean cuisine. Above all, prices are surprisingly reasonable for a rather elaborate menu (we really enjoyed the 4-cheese risotto with asparagus) and a well-stocked wine cellar. The place is always packed, but reservations are impossible, so bear with us. The lunch menu is an excellent value option.

One of the references of Moroccan cuisine in Madrid; There are delicious tagines and pastillas.

Counsel: come to many to taste as many dishes as possible!

The list is long: soups, salads, a variety of meat and fish (including house specialty: la truchana, a trout with tomato and ham). By aperitif, the assortment of sofas (lippia of sofas) makes it possible to taste everything.

La Posada is one of the best gastronomic restaurants in the city. It is also advisable to dress accordingly. Traditional Madrid cuisine to be tasted in a historic place: the building dates from 1642. At the sea bass, you can find tapas and raciones that are as delicious as they are hearty, with snails, shrimps, mackerel in vinegar, and torreznillos (small pieces of fried pork skin), among others. On the second floor, a mansard-roofed room with exposed beams, warm atmosphere... On the other hand, the bill is rising fast.

Viva Madrid is a typical Madrid address dating from 1856 where you can eat perfectly mastered pinchos and raciones at any time of day. The room with its handcrafted decoration (with a facade of azulejos, brightly coloured ceramic tiles and pretty chandeliers) is a great success. Also worth mentioning: the very pleasant little terrace in the summer. Viva Madrid and viva la marcha madrileña! Here it moves until very late at night and the cocktails are very successful. A great way to start your evening!

La Traviata is a Italian-Italian restaurant near the Teatro Real and the Royal palace. If you visit the Los Austrias district in the morning, enjoy breakfast! You can also enjoy tapas or excellent steak in the top, tiled and white room, or dine in the basement, more distinguished but still lively. On the menu: salads, fish, meat, and of course a wide choice of pasta and pizzas.

Located on the outskirts of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium and the financial district, the Petit Comité is the perfect option if you're visiting Madrid's stadium or going to see a match. Value for money here is excellent. The tasting menu comprises a starter, four courses and a dessert. We particularly recommend the steak tartare, which you can enjoy outside on the lovely, sheltered terrace. On match nights, the screens are out and the atmosphere changes completely!

La Taberna Pedraza is a restaurant run by Carmen and Santiago. Together, they seek to promote Spain's culinary heritage. But he's in the dining room, and she's in the kitchen. And her cooking is succulent. Authentic gastronomy, fresh local produce, her dishes are an immersion in Spanish culinary culture. The "cocido de Carmen" is a reference here, and has made the reputation of the address. The pleasant atmosphere is a blend of rustic and modern, with exposed brickwork, muted lighting and wooden chairs.

Open since 1702, Casa Pedro is a former inn for muleteers and herdsmen who took the French route to get out of town or to Madrid. The sale of Garnache wines and specialties such as roast lamb, cochonnet and local produce attracted such illustrious figures as members of the royal family, artists, bullfighters and politicians of the day, as evidenced by the dedications lining the walls. It's a beautiful building with a rustic architecture that's unique in Madrid. A true temple for wine lovers.

Just a stone's throw from the famous Prado Museum is the Café Murillo, named after one of Spain's best-known painters, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. The café, whose building dates back to 1927, serves typical Mediterranean bistro fare, including traditional tapas and light dishes from the grill. Guests can also choose from a selection of Spanish wines, as well as homemade breads and cakes. A treat and a very pleasant stop-off!

In the mythical Salamanca district, Velazquez 17 offers a warm, Parisian-style setting with industrial elements and bright colors reflected in the natural light of its large bay windows. Upstairs, a mezzanine can accommodate groups or offer more privacy for a dinner for two. The kitchen adapts to the time of day and night. Here, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast, eggs Benedict or waffles at brunch, and end the day in style with a gin and tonic.

On the top floor of Callao's famous Corte Inglés, this food court is definitely worth a visit. Here, you can stroll between numerous stalls and take a culinary world tour. A dozen or so stands, spread over more than 1,500 m², allow you to devour a fine artisanal pizza, sample some excellent Mexican specialities or a few tapas from the Basque country, and so on. All while enjoying a superb and unique view of the capital! A good plan to remember.

Casa Mortero, which opened its doors in 2021, offers a subtle return to tradition. And the success is there in this simple and design space that offers a menu that is certainly inspired by the great classics, but adds a touch of modernity and originality in each of its dishes. For starters, we liked the marinated mussels and the typical Salamanca torrezno and potatoes. Then we had to choose between different stews, meats and grilled fish before finishing on a sweet touch with a caramelized cheesecake. A delightful treat!
