Description:
Horcher originated in Berlin in 1904. In 1943, prompted by a tip from a high-ranking German officer that Germany was losing the war, Herr Horcher moved his restaurant to Madrid. For years it was known as the best dining room in the city, but fierce competition of late has stolen that crown. Nevertheless, the restaurant is still going strong, continuing its grand European traditions, including excellent service.
You might try the skate or shrimp tartare or the distinctive warm hake salad. Both the venison stew with green pepper and orange peel and the crayfish with parsley and cucumber are typical of the elegant fare served with style. Spanish aristocrats often come here in autumn to sample game dishes, including venison, wild boar, and roast wild duck. Other main courses include veal scaloppine in tarragon and sea bass with saffron. For dessert, the house specialty is crepes Sir Holden, prepared at your table with fresh raspberries, cream, and nuts.
