Don Oso on Calle Donoso Cortés is the original branch of a small Madrid burger group that bills itself as serving the city's first hamburgers, since 1973. It keeps the same style and personality it started with: cheap, casual burgers, open from noon to past midnight every day. There's a second branch in Moncloa-Argüelles and a two-floor one by Sol.

Background

About Don Oso

The Story

Don Oso calls itself the home of the first hamburgers in Madrid, served since 1973, and this Donoso Cortés shop is the original, still running in the same style as when it started. The group has since added a second, slightly larger branch with stools elsewhere in Moncloa-Argüelles, and a two-floor site on Calle de la Cruz 26, a hundred metres from Puerta del Sol, which seats up to 90 and takes big group bookings.

The Cuisine

Burgers, plain and simple, at low prices; the carta is on the group's own site.

Don Oso Dining Experience

Casual and unfussy, the grab-a-burger kind of place rather than a sit-down dinner, keeping the style and personality of the branch where Don Oso began.

Getting There

It's on Calle Donoso Cortés in the Gaztambide area, in the Chamberí district of central Madrid.

Nearby

Gaztambide is a quiet residential grid that has quietly become interesting to eat in. The rooms are small and independent, and several are doing genuinely inventive cooking without any fuss about it. Faro de Moncloa and Malasaña frame it on either side.
