Background
About Casa Dani
The Story
Daniel García, from Balazote, and Dolores Cuerda, from Tiriez, both in the province of Albacete, came to Madrid to make a living. Dani worked for years as a waiter, Lola was the cook, and in 1991 they took a modest stall in the Mercado de la Paz with a counter and a few tables to feed the market's workers. Lola started by making three or four tortillas a morning for workers wanting a quick, cheap breakfast; word of mouth did the rest. Their children, Daniel and Noelia, later took over, opening a takeaway shop at the market doors and expanding the brand, including a point in the Mercado de San Leopoldo. In 2019 the tortilla won the II Campeonato Nacional de Tortillas in Tenerife, and the Academia Madrileña de Gastronomía named Casa Dani the best bar in Madrid. Phil Rosenthal filmed there for Somebody Feed Phil.
The Cuisine
Tortilla de patata in several sizes is the anchor, sold by the pincho. Around it: homemade croquetas, including ibérico ham, cocido and Idiazábal, raciones and half-raciones of morcilla, chistorra and albóndigas, and a breakfast, bocadillo and montadito section. The menú del día is seasonal home cooking, cocido and lentejas and callos territory.
The Tortilla
Lola's recipe is simple: Manchegan agria potatoes, free-range brown eggs, whose yolks she finds richer, and sunflower oil rather than olive oil, made with or without caramelised onion to settle the eternal argument. The result is juicy but not runny. By 2023 Casa Dani was selling over 100,000 tortillas a year across its outlets and takeaway, using more than 300 dozen eggs and a tonne of potatoes a day.
Beyond the Tortilla
The counter opens at 07:00 for breakfasts, bocadillos and montaditos, and the carta adds homemade croquetas of Ibérico ham, cocido or Idiazábal, torreznos, pisto manchego with a fried egg, raciones of morcilla, chistorra and albóndigas, and callos. The daily menu, served from 13:30 to 15:30, has more than a dozen first and second courses of home cooking, with fixtures such as lobster rice on Wednesdays and lentils with chorizo on Thursdays. Casa Dani is open Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 20:00 and Saturday until 17:00, and closes on Sunday; takeaway is available from the market shop and delivery through Uber Eats and its own site.

Casa Dani Dining Experience
It's a market counter, so diners eat where the trade happens, standing or perched at the bar, with tortilla going out by the pincho all morning long. Breakfast slides into lunch without the room changing gear, inside the Mercado de la Paz, the stall that Phil Rosenthal visited for Somebody Feed Phil.

Get directions→Getting There
Casa Dani is a counter inside the Mercado de la Paz, on Calle de Ayala in the Salamanca neighbourhood. It's a market stall rather than a restaurant with its own front door, so it keeps market hours: mornings from 07:00, closing mid-afternoon, and closed on Sunday.
Nearby
Recoletos runs along the grand boulevards between Plaza de Cibeles and Puerta de Alcalá, where the buildings are stately and the pavements are wide. The eating leans formal and expense-account, with classic dining rooms sitting beside newer, sharper kitchens. It shades into Salamanca as you go east, and the prices follow.
