If you are wondering: What to eat in Madrid or what are the typical dishes that Madrilenians eat, this is your guide.

Whether you are going to spend some time in Madrid, if it is for tourism or work, if you move or if you are simply wherever you go, whatever you see, from Grupo Roisa we are going to provide you with this mini guide to know what to eat in Madrid at least one day in a traditional way and you can feel 100 percent castizo.

We include the drink that of course in Madrid we enjoy one of the best waters in Spain.

 

First of all, as mentioned above:

DRINK TAP WATER

How? Many times people do not want to trust this criterion. Many of the tourists who visit us drink bottled water and see drinking tap water as an extreme madness. In Madrid we are fortunate to have the Isabel II canal from which we can enjoy totally tasteless, pure, quality water. The water here is one of the most valued in Spain, so go ahead and drink tap water!

 

TRY A BEER LA VIRGEN

If we continue talking about the Madrilenian water and its properties we could continue talking about a craft beer, great and quality brewed in Madrid, and we are not referring to the mahou. This

is undoubtedly La Virgen beers, and we say "La Virgen" in plural because within the brand there are several types of craft beers.

Undoubtedly if you are a beer lover you have to try this marvel produced 100 percent in Madrid. If you are staying at Roisa Centro just across the street you can enjoy these craft beers at the bar La Tape.

If you are in another area and would like to try this authentic craft beer, we leave you a list of friendly bars that have it.

Below is aBelow we detail a good traditional breakfast, lunch at noon and of course dinner.

HAVE SOME GOOD PORRAS FOR BREAKFAST

 

Yes, you heard right, good porras... and you're wondering, what is that? Well, porras in Madrid are churros but they contain yeast that makes them puff up and have a spongier texture, so don't leave without trying them! A good place where you can go to taste this typical Madrid breakfast is the chocolatería San Ginés, in the heart of Madrid.

 

 

Taste a good cocido Madrileño.

 

Have you tried the wonderful cocido madrileño? If you haven't yet and you are in Madrid, you are on time! Since it is the star dish of the city and the most typical. It is more advisable to eat it in autumn or winter because it is a heavy dish, but you can eat it at any time of the year. It is simply an authentic delicacy. The restaurant Casa Carola was the winner of the last award for the best cocido madrileño. If you are in town do not hesitate to try this typical dish!

EAT A CALAMARI SANDWICH.

 

In Madrid the calamari sandwiches are typical and totally "castizos". It is a tradition that dates back many years.

If you stay at Roisa Suites in the Plaza Mayor you can find many little bars that offer calamari sandwiches. Although we from Grupo Roisa recommend you to try the Brillante.

In other countries fast food is the order of the day and this is undoubtedly ours in the capital.
