4. EPIC MADRID FOOD TOUR! ????
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Madrid has amazing food.. there I said it! Often when people think of Madrid they think of museums and art and maybe a trip to Toledo. But trust me, this city has an incredible food scene that is less touristy and more underground compared to some other cities in Spain. So, I wanted to make this Madrid food guide so that you can enjoy it like a true local!
Today I take you to 10 of my favourite places to eat 10 incredible bites. We start with the best chocolate in the city (melted from actual chocolate) at an over 100-year-old pastry shop. Then we head to a local and hidden family-run joint for the city’s top Spanish omelette (tortilla española) and a beer (caña).
Next up! Vermouth time. We nip across to the San Miguel market for a sweet red vermouth on tap just like the locals do (along with marcona almonds, campo real olives and a local skewer). Then we head to a SECRET STOP. Cloistered nuns who bake cookies in - the cookies are delicious and moreish and the experience is truly one-of-a-kind. As a friend used to say, like doing a drug deal!
OK… getting full. Next stop - jamón… ham! And the good stuff - acorn-fed jamón ibérico in a family-run ham shop. Around the corner we head to an over 100-year-old tapas bar for one of the most delicious tapas in the city - bull tail stew parcel, paired with a Rioja wine.
Next it’s Madrid’s most famous bite - the calamari sandwich. There are so many places that do this, but we head for the best one! And for more seafood, we swing around into the La Latina neighbourhood for the best bacalao in the city, served with a white wine in a place that is a true Madrid rough-and-tumble tapas bar.
And then - tapas. We swing into Casa Toni, a fantastic tapas bar that does brilliant sweetbreads - mollejas - a delicacy in many restaurants around the world, and here deliciously cooked with skill on the griddle.
And finally, dessert … we head to the most famous pastry shop in the city for the napolitana de crema. The perfect sweet end to a fabulous Madrid food tour. Siesta time!
Want to find those secret nun cookies? Head to Calle Codo (near Plaza de la Villa) and where you see the door with the sign Venta de Dulces, ring the top bell. Hours are Mon-Fri 0930-1300 then 16.30 - 18.30.
Here's the list of where we went:
1. El Riojano
2. Cerveriz
3. Mercado San Miguel (La Hora del Vermut was the stall)
4. Nuns
5. Mercado Jamon Iberico
6. Anciano Rey de los Vinos
7. Casa Revuelta
8. La Campana
9. Casa Toni
10. La Mallorquina

3. MADRID’S MOST HISTORIC RESTAURANTS! ????
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
When I moved to Madrid, I fell in love with two tings - the history and the food. And over the years I’ve loved spending time in places that combine both… taverns & restaurants that are absolutely dripping with history and atmosphere. In this video, Yoly and I take you to 5 of my favourite historic restaurants and tapas bars… and not only do we eat the food, but also I tell you the stories behind these remarkable places that we’re so lucky to have on our doorstep!
▶ BOOKS I MENTION IN THE VIDEO
DON QUIXOTE:
FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS:
1. First we visit Taberna Antonio Sánchez, which is actually the oldest still-running tavern in the city (not to be confused with Botin, which is the oldest still running restaurant in the world). This place has the most remarkable decor that hasn’t changed since the 1830s. And downstairs is a fascinating hidden wine cellar.
2. Then we head into Madrid’s Literary Quarter to Casa Alberto. These are the streets Miguel de Cervantes’ famous author of Don Quixote lived in. And they’re wonderful to wander. Casa Alberto is always heaving, and it’s perfect for a quick vermouth, or something a little more substantial… like the bull tail stew we order.
3. Next up it’s Taberna La Bola, where we get a special behind-the-scenes visit to the kitchen, where they make their famous cocido madrileño stew the old fashioned way - in clay pots and on a charcoal stove. It’s a huge feast, but it’s worth it!
4. Casa Ciriaco is part bar, part restaurant… and it’s always heaving. I love hanging out in the tapas bar area and sipping on wine, or heading through to the restaurant where it just screams old Madrid with its photos of famous guests.
5. The grande finale! Restaurant Botín… aka Sobrino de Botín. We see the 300-year-old oven, explore the four magical floors and then sit down in Hemingway’s table for a plate of incredible roast suckling pig. A once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Have you visited any of these places? Did you enjoy the experience? Let me know in the comments!

Madrid Food: My top 5 places to eat tapas, suckling pig, & farm to table delights in Madrid, Spain.
Madrid is an ancient city with a rich, complex history which can easily be tasted in its cuisine. Moorish influences rounded out by mediterranean sensibilities, flavored with a bit of panache from Gaul, Madrid has a cosmopolitan palate to suit any taste.
My first stop was the Mercado de San Miguel, which is classified as food hall but is much more a cathedral to cuisine. Truly expansive and well designed, this cavernous delicious depot has flavors, food, and drink to satiate any desire. From small plates, to fried delights, to fresh produce, and delicious wines, you can easily spend hours wandering through the stalls, sampling all the flavors that make up Madrid.
For a more entrenched experience La Huerta de Tudela is a must, which is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of dining in. Light, warm and with a welcomed attention to detail, La Huerta is a self contained experience all to it’s own. Here ingredients are brought fresh every morning from their local farm to make some of the brightest and flavorful dishes in all of Spain.
Madrid is of course no stranger to tapas, and Casa Macareno located in the flirty malasana district is its finest example. Locals fill the joint starting with Russian salads, then finishing with epic house cured charcuterie platters that will leave you howling.
For a more modern approach on tapas La Musa will amuse you for sure. Sit al fresco in the lovely Plaza Paja and treat yourself to fresh burrata, asian croquettes, Indonesian roasted cauliflower, camerons buns, and of course ice cold vermut to wash it down.
For an experience you simply won’t forget, reserve a stage-side table at Corral de la Moreria. This place is no secret and has been graced with some of the most talented actors in history and Brendan Fraser. Corral’s dinner service is exceptional, which it really doesn’t have to be, considering they provide the absolute best Flamenco dancing in the world nightly. Dancers have been picked by hand, and shows rotate every week, and have been since 1956. Unfortunately I witnessed Belen Lopez perform, and left my heart at the table. If you go see if it is still there for me.
Finally, if you want to have an experience you simply cannot anywhere else, experience Botin who make the best suckling Iberic pig you will ever have. They should know what they are doing since they’ve been making Suckling pig for over 300 years, and is the oldest restaurant in the world. It was so special I did a short documentary about them which is worth seeing if you’ve just eaten.
Thank you Madrid, you are a city that fills the soul as well as the stomach like no other city in the world.
And stay tuned as I cover Madrid for Get Lost Magazine (getlostmagazine.com) this week, celebrating this ancient city who is about to host the amazing Davis Cup Tennis Championship in November.
