The 38 Essential Madrid Restaurants

"There are plenty of restaurants in the city center that do traditional Spanish stews, but none match Cruz Blanca Vallecas. The restaurant — independent from the chain that shares its name — has won every single award possible for its outstanding cocido Madrileño (Madrid-style chickpea and meat stew), callos (veal tripe), and fabada (Asturian bean stew) that chef–owner Antonio Cosmen has been cooking with care for the past decade. Just a heads up: Book your table months in advance." - Paula Móvil

21 Best Restaurants in Madrid

"Commanding a waitlist longer than most of Madrid's Michelin-starred restaurants—bank on at least three months—Cruz Blanca de Vallecas is a modest tavern on the outskirts of town. It's also the improbable home of Madrid's most iconic dish: cocido madrileño, a boiled dinner of chickpeas, vegetables, and assorted sausages and meats. Chef Antonio Cosmen's rendition is downright transcendent, with creamy garbanzo beans from Arévalo—he buys the town's entire crop—smoky chorizo, and a jamón-scented broth so rich it jellifies at room temperature. (Another famed version can be found at Sylkar.)" - Benjamin Kemper

Famous for their traditional cocido, but do not miss their tapas and raciones: generously sized and super tasty.

Awesome cocido and seafood revuelto. Reasonably priced

Seemed like a decent-to-good local spot that got “famous” from some travel blogs. Food was just okay - we went pretty late in the day and everything was very over cooked/dry and we didn’t get much meat (no ham, 2 small pieces of sausage, etc). The wine was decent and the service was great but for the price and how far away this is from city center it wasn’t worth it for us.

Fine "cocido" at 37 €, pricey red wine. Nice service though they had to be asked several times. All in all, fair quality restaurant

We went for the cocido madrileño which is well known as one of the best in Madrid. It was just ok. The broth was the best part but was not served hot. The garbanzos were nicely cooked with good flavor. The meats were all disappointing.

If you read reviews, this is a ‘temple of traditional cooking’. So we booked in advance to try their famed Cocido. We had a 9pm reservation confirmed by email (the restaurant advertises closing time at 12am). When we arrived, the lights were half dimmed, the staff busy sweeping the floor. They argued we didn’t have a reservation, we showed them the email, they still tried to argue. They simply couldn’t wait to go home. 30 eur later, we were back in central Madrid having dinner elsewhere. Don’t waste your time travelling to the outskirts of Madrid, for this place, you will find more welcoming and better, closer, this place might have been glorious once upon a time, but it’s not up to its reputation anymore. Try Carmen’s Cocido at Taberna Pedreza instead, it’s one of the best, and most importantly, it comes with a warm welcome

The outdoor terraza is beautiful and the vibe is relax and nicer status than typical Spanish terrazas. Food is expensive for what it is and I had 3 tinto de veranos (while very delicious) I didn't get even the smallest buzz. I'm convinced there was no wine in my tinto but whatever. I would go back and try it again to give the tintos another chance
