    • Description:

    • In business for more than 90 years, this longtime favorite taberna-cum-restaurant is still run by the same family. Lying only 2 blocks from the Palacio Real, it has on occasion served dinners to members of the royal family and other impressive guests, among them bullfighters, artists, and scholars. These distinguished diners are drawn to the unpretentious family atmosphere and the time-tested recipes. Nouvelle cuisine here means anything served in 1900, including the classic Madrid tripe, an acquired taste for many diners. One of the most enticing offerings is perdiz (partridge) served with fava beans. Hare is another good choice, served here with white beans. A good appetizer is a plate of the grilled prawns, or start with one of the hearty soups of the day, including a specialty of Castile: sopa castellana (seafood soup). A few fish dishes appear, including mountain trout, and conchinillo asado (roast suckling pig) is a specialty. Wash everything down with a glass of Toledo wine.

    • Recommended by our hotel owner. Restaurant is a bit dingy and obviously old. It was not busy. We were there at 2100, early in Madrid. We were attended to promptly by a good- natured...
