Background
About Santa Eulalia Pâtisserie
The Story
Santa Eulalia opened on 22 December 2015. José Alberto Trabanco studied law at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, managed a Meliá hotel in Burgos for five years, trained in cooking at the Aiala school and took the pastry diploma at Le Cordon Bleu in Madrid in 2012. Ana Ramos, a journalism graduate, spent more than 15 years as a reporter before running the shop and its communication. They set it up as a neighbourhood meeting place built on French bread and pastry, and during the 2020 lockdown collaborated with chef Mario Sandoval's solidarity kitchen for families in San Blas.
The Cuisine
French boulangerie and pâtisserie made daily. Bread uses only organic flours and natural ferments, with no industrial yeast. The pastry side follows French tradition: croissants, brioche, praline moelleux, financiers, canelés, kougelhopf and a pistachio puff pastry, plus carrot, banana and praline cakes, lemon-lime tarts, tarte tatin, millefeuille, cheesecake and Sacher. Chocolate is a big part of it, with bonbons and bars from different origins, and there's origin coffee from professional baristas, hot chocolate and gourmet teas.

Experience
Santa Eulalia Pâtisserie Dining Experience
An elegant, calm room with classical music, set in premises that were a bakery in the early 20th century and that keep remains of Madrid's medieval Christian wall. The obrador is open to view, so you can watch the pastry being made, and the team prides itself on neighbourly service. Dogs are welcome.
