The best seafood restaurants Madrid

The Maceira tavern is a Galician restaurant specialized in seafood and which is often full. You will find there the atmosphere of the small restaurants of this region of the north of Spain, with the music in premium (it is often too strong). For starters: empanada gallega. For the main course: an arroz marinero with a little albariño (white wine) and of course the inevitable octopus. The whole, immersed in a maritime atmosphere, decorated with fishing nets and old amphoras. The reception is sometimes average, but the plate is worth the detour.

Welcome to the temple of the mussel! This small, well-known address in the Spanish capital offers the mythical seafood in all its forms: steamed, with lemon, with garlic, with cream, with white wine, with vinegar, etc. Three or four tables on the terrace and a few more inside are enough for locals to enjoy since 1948.
