La Pecera

Close to the famous Plaza Dos de Mayo you can find the Madrid’s first ice-cream shop specialized in taiyaki, ice cream served in fish-shaped cones. It is originally from Japan, but these days you can find in big cities around the world, like New York.

The small shop offers two types of ice-cream cones (vanilla and chocolate) that are then filled with soft ice-cream of your choice and finished off with different types of toppings ranging from brownies to toasted coconut or corn flakes. They also offer small fish-shaped taiyaki cakes filled with chocolate, peanut butter or apple pie and more traditional ice-cream cups and cones.

Thanks to the success achieved over the years, La Pecera has other branches in Madrid at No. 10 Cádiz (by Sol); No. 7 Calle de Sánchez Bustillo (Atocha); No. 13 Calle de Bailén; No. 43 Calle Fuencarral (in Plaza de Raffaela Carrá); and in the Príncipe Pío and Plaza Río 2 shopping centres. You can also find them in Alcalá de Henares and Pozuelo de Alarcón.
