Maceira

First opened in 1997, this cheerful little restaurant brings traditional Galician flavours to the heart of Madrid. Here you can enjoy hearty arroz caldoso (a brothy rice dish), tender octopus, and some of the finest wines from Galicia.

The cosy, rustic interior features exposed brick walls, wooden tables and traditional clay jugs.

You’ll find two more branches in the nearby Barrio de las Letras, both on Calle Huertas at number 66 — the largest and most popular location — and number 64, right next door.
