Fast food and home catering Madrid

If you're looking for the crowd every night, Vesuvio is the place to go to eat on the thumb and save on the drink! The pizzas are honest. Service to take.

A ham museum? No doubt, you're in the Spanish capital! In the neighbourhood, tapas shops and bars abound and welcome tourists passing through and Madrilenians in a hurry. To taste the different flavours of the country's deli meats, here's an excellent, inexpensive address that celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2018. Pata negra, bellota or serrano can be eaten in sandwiches, by the piece or to take away. Despite the industrial aspect of these "museums", the experience is tasty! And the terrace on the Plaza Mayor is very pleasant...

With its Greek and Mediterranean influences, this stylish bar-cafeteria offers delicious, fresh and healthy products. And what's more, it's not cheap, with a daily menu at €9.90 (takeaway or eat-in)! Whether you're looking for a pita or a gyros with excellent falafels, a good Greek yoghurt or something to eat on the go, this is a great place to go. What's more, the welcome is very pleasant (and sometimes in French) and the advice always pertinent. Perfectly in the spirit of Malasaña. Happy hour from 5pm to 8pm on Saturdays.

Chapata is a huge flat and crisp bread sandwich served in a rock, blues and pop bar. If you prefer, take Natasha, a Russian net with tomato, salad and cheese. a delight to take with a beer, for less than 5 €.

Las Bravas is part of a chain that specializes in diced potatoes in all kinds of sauces. Their salsa brava is patented (and you can buy it to take away vacuum, a good idea to put in your suitcase)! Another establishment, located two steps away in a pedestrian alley (pasaje Matheu, 5), has a very pleasant terrace. A must in the Sol district to eat a tortilla, croquetas, patatas bravas or Galician octopus on the go. The premises are crowded there at lunchtime in particular.

This is probably one of the best tapas bars in the Spanish capital. You are greeted with a smile and the bottles of wine, all excellent, hanging on the walls invite only to ask for a glass of the best Rioja, accompanied by a plate of ham or cheese. A delicious and authentic address, in an old-fashioned setting (exactly what you imagine when you set down your suitcases in Madrid), where it is sometimes hard to make your way to the bar when the evening is in full swing. But a very good time ahead.

An institution for students and broke gourmands. For 9 €, you are entitled to a homemade pizza served with a smile. Enjoy it on the terrace or in the beautiful colourful room, located in the entrance. The basement dining room is less pleasant. Pizza parts to take to € 2,50.

This is a great place to have a glass of (good) wine and some delicious tapas in the northern part of the Malasaña district. In a small room with modern accents where bricks and wood cohabit marvellously, you can enjoy skewers of salsa scampi, marinated anchovies or mini hamburgers. A very popular address in the evenings on weekends and a very good del dia menu during the week (with a choice of meat or fish every day). On the flip side, the reception can be a little cold.

Six young university students, lovers of good wines, decided one day to create a tavern in which wine would play a central role. In 1996, they converted a former butcher shop into a trendy bar. And success is quickly achieved. The menu includes a list of 300 wines and good races such as tuna and salmon carpaccio or marinated anchovies to accompany them. A typical restaurant in the capital of Madrid, with a warm welcome and the promise of a very convivial moment around a good bottle with friends.

In one of the small streets leading to the Plaza Major, you can eat there for really cheap! For 3 €, you can choose between a squid sandwich or fried chorizo, blood sausage, bacon... La Ideal is the meeting place for young people with no money (who keep their money to make the night last as long as possible) and the workers of the neighbourhood. The place is not very attractive and it is always crowded at mealtimes, but it is a good option to eat on the go while strolling around Plaza Mayor. Typical Madrid.

The Txakolina tavern is a beautiful modern establishment in the Cava Baja, whose tapas, all lined up on the bar, will make you look at the door as soon as you walk in. Croquetas, bombas, sandwiches or mini burgers, the classics are nicely revisited and the tapas are more original than elsewhere. In any case, there is something for everyone and the quality is there. An address which, victim of its success, does not empty... It is sometimes necessary to play elbows and to wait a little the weekend to be able to be served.

This well-known sandwich bar in Madrid has been offering low prices and quality ingredients since 1940. Very welcoming, you'll often find long queues outside the door, especially at lunchtime on Sundays. Bocadillos are made right in front of you, and squid bocadillos are the casa's signature specialty. The room is very small and the student clientele take advantage of the beer minis (plastic glasses generally holding around 15 cl) sold at very attractive prices (€1.80).

San Ildefonso plays the Spanish card to the fullest, just like its illustrious predecessor, the Mercado San Miguel. The twenty or so stands revisit all the Iberian classics. Croquetas with goat cheese or scampi are served alongside the eternal migas, and the cañas flow freely. In short, it's the afterwork trendy for the thirty-something Madrid resident. As for the decoration, the urban and design look, the metal walkways and the warm colors make a harmonious whole and, not to spoil anything, the two small terraces are very pleasant. A real favorite!

When you want ham in Spain, it is better to trust the specialists! Here, you can ask to taste a lichette before leaving with chorizo, cheese, lomo, ham... There are several Museo del Jamón in the center of Madrid, the opportunity to eat a bocadillo at any time of the day. So, why not do as the locals do and rush to break the crust at low prices? For over 40 years, this museo has been a timeless success. It is also a good place to buy ham by weight to take with you in your suitcases.

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!
