La cruzada

This historic restaurant in Madrid (the oldest taberna in the city) was founded in 1827 at No. 1, Calle de la Cruzada, and was popular with artists and Madrid’s bohemian crowd. When the building where it was located was demolished in 1974, the restaurant moved to Calle Amnistía and remained there until 2022, when it moved once again to its current premises, in Plaza de Gabriel Miró, next to Las Vistillas.

The star of the menu is cocido madrileño, the classic Madrid stew, served in the traditional three courses. The rest of the menu features a variety of traditional Spanish and local dishes, including sharing platters and hearty mains.
