## A guide to La Latina in Madrid

### What is La Latina known for?

La Latina is part of Madrid's old centre, the streets that run down from Puerta de Moros and the Mercado de la Cebada toward the old city walls. It's best known for tapeo, bar-hopping between small plates, especially along Cava Baja and Cava Alta.

### What's a taberna?

A taberna is a traditional Spanish tavern, usually a small room built for standing at the bar over wine, vermut and small plates rather than a formal seated meal.

### What are huevos rotos?

Huevos rotos, literally 'broken eggs,' are fried eggs served over a bed of fried potatoes and broken so the yolk runs through the dish, often finished with jamón or chorizo. It's one of the dishes most associated with Cava Baja.

### What's a posada?

A posada was historically a Spanish inn offering food and lodging to travellers and traders. Several restaurants in La Latina, including some on Cava Baja, are set inside old posada buildings and keep the name today.

### What's cocido madrileño?

Cocido madrileño is Madrid's classic chickpea stew, traditionally served in courses, broth first, then the chickpeas and vegetables, then the meats. Several restaurants in the neighbourhood serve it, often made to order or on a set day of the week.

> "Two of the restaurants on this list sit on Cava Baja alone, and the range runs from Casa Lucio's 1974 huevos rotos to a Michelin-starred tasting menu inside a historic flamenco tablao."

## How we built this list

We built this list from five editorial sources covering La Latina dining, cross-checked against the Madrid restaurants we've profiled. A restaurant only made the list if its own address places it on or right around Cava Baja, Cava Alta, Plaza de la Paja, Calle del Almendro, Plaza de la Cebada, Calle de Toledo or Cascorro. Several places named repeatedly by outside sources, including flagship tabernas and a historic cocido house, don't currently have a Guidavera page and are recorded as gaps rather than invented. Where we couldn't verify a specific number, price or date against a restaurant's own listing or a source we could quote directly, we left it out.

Chef David García, who trained under Martín Berasategui and at elBulli, Mugaritz and Nerua before earning a star at Álbora, cooks what he calls cocina de raíz, Basque-rooted haute cuisine built on broths, stocks and organic produce, for just four tables a night.

The huevos rotos are the house signature and have been since day one, alongside a Revuelto Lucio of scrambled eggs with wild mushrooms and shrimp and a rotating daily guiso, often lentils or cocido madrileño on Wednesdays. Blázquez, who came to Madrid at twelve to work under an owner who eventually sold him the place, still runs it today alongside his children María del Carmen, Fernando and Javier. Tiled walls and wooden tables spread across a bar and two floors, lively and rustic, and it runs busy and hard to book. It holds one Repsol Sol.

The building runs four floors that keep their eighteenth-century interiors, and Guinness names Ernest Hemingway among its historic visitors. It's open every day, 13:00 to 23:30, and listed as Recomendado in the Guía Repsol. Expect a lively, classic room that fills with both tourists and regulars, and book ahead through Botín's own website.

The kitchen specialises in roast lamb from that wood-fired oven and a cocido de puchero made to order. The room is classic and rustic, with a terrace, and it works well for groups and families. It's closed Sunday evenings and for summer holidays from 3 August to 2 September; book through CoverManager.

- **Website:** https://www.tresderestaurante.com/
- **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/tresde

Tresde runs a Michelin Bib Gourmand kitchen on Cava Alta from chef Aitor Sua, who trained in Paris at Ze Kitchen Galerie under William Ledeuil and at the historic Grand Véfour. It opened in early April 2023. Rather than a tasting menu, which Sua has said he grew 'un poco harto' of, a little tired of, the restaurant runs a streamlined three-course Fórmula EPP (entrante, plato, postre) at €56, with a three-glass wine pairing for €25 more. Past dishes have included steak tartare with purple potato chips, morcilla with pine nuts, and monkfish with potato purée and capers. Much of the produce is organic, from Cultivo Desterrado, and the carta shifts almost daily. It holds a Bib Gourmand and one Repsol Sol, and Sua was a finalist for Cocinero Revelación at the 2024 Premios Metrópoli.

Four dining rooms, each with its own atmosphere, plus a terrace overlooking the Arco de Cuchilleros, seat 140 diners.

Marmitón moved at the end of September 2026 from its tiny original kitchen on Calle de las Aguas into the larger Cava Alta 13 space that had housed Barmitón, with a new 'Menú NO Menú' that each diner builds from the day's dishes. It opened in 2020. Young chefs Pablo Sánchez and Lalo Zarcero built the small room around fermentation, smoking and pickling, folded into dishes meant to read familiar. Aperitivos run to oysters and steak tartare; mains have included cochinillo a baja temperatura, bacalao negro with miso and a Bluefin tuna galete; desserts run to a goat's-milk flan and a lemon pie. It opens Wednesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner and Sunday for lunch, closed Monday and Tuesday, and it's listed in the Guía Repsol.

La Perejila is a well-known taberna on the Cava in La Latina, named after an early-20th-century coplas singer and decorated in deep-green walls hung with nods to flamenco and old popular Spain. Sources differ on its exact street number, but it sits firmly on the Cava. The tapas lean Andalusian, mostly traditional with the odd modern twist, served in a small room that fills fast and runs loud. It reads better suited to standing tapas than a quiet sit-down dinner. Open daily, 13:00 to 16:00 and 20:15 to midnight. It doesn't hold a Michelin or Repsol distinction, and spend runs €26–50 per person.

Ebisu by Kobos is an omakase sushi counter on Calle Luciente, listed in the Michelin Guide. Chef Kobos Cortés built it after training at the Edo-style sushi bar Ebisu Endo in Japan under chef Norihito Endo, and the restaurant takes its name from that room. There's one set menu, no choosing, handed across a small, intimate counter that seats you facing the chef for the whole meal; the house even asks guests not to wear perfume, on the grounds it would flatten the subtler bites.

## The La Latina scene in Madrid

La Latina's dining runs from centuries-old tabernas to a Michelin-starred tasting menu, often within the same block. Casa Lucio has cooked from Cava Baja 35 since 1974, in a building that held a tavern since 1720. On Plaza de la Paja, El Bacaro de Fabio Gasparini serves Italian pasta and pinsa, and Ebisu by Kobos, listed in the Michelin Guide, runs an Edo-style omakase counter on Calle Luciente. Historic roast houses cluster near Plaza Mayor: Botín, on Calle de Cuchilleros, has served since 1725 and is recognised by Guinness World Records as the oldest restaurant in the world, and Las Cuevas de Luis Candelas, next to the Plaza, has run since 1860 with staff dressed as its namesake 19th-century bandit.

## Know before you go

### 1.

Cava Baja gets loud and crowded on weekend nights, when it fills with bar-hoppers. Book ahead at a sit-down room like Casa Lucio or La Posada de la Villa if you want a table rather than a spot at the bar.

### 2.

Several entries here close one or two days a week, Marmitón bistró and Tresde among them. Check a restaurant's current hours before you go rather than assuming daily service.

### 3.

Prices swing widely on this list, from La Mulata Latina's €10–20 Cuban sandwiches to Corral de la Morería Gastronómico's Michelin tasting menu, so it's worth deciding on a budget before you pick a street to wander.

### 4.

Ebisu by Kobos runs omakase only, one set menu with no ordering off a card, and it books up, so reserve ahead rather than walking in.

### 5.

If a table at Casa Lucio is full, La Posada de la Villa is on the same street and also on this list, worth checking as a backup.
