The Story
Taberna Rayuela sits at the foot of the Viaduct, a neighbour of the Palacio Real and Plaza de Oriente, among the arches and steps of Madrid de los Austrias. The house describes it as a place to eat dishes you know and try new ones, and to have a drink with old friends.
The Cuisine
Home cooking and Spanish and international tapas, with a menú del día of nine dishes to combine, changing weekly: salads, migas, carrilleras, escalope or spaghetti, with hot creams in autumn and gazpacho and salmorejo in summer.
Menú del Día and Festivals
On weekdays the menú del día runs in its original format of nine dishes to mix and match, posted each week on Instagram; recent weeks have featured ensaladilla, migas, carrilleras, escalope and spaghetti.

Get directions→Getting There
Calle de la Morería 8, at the foot of the Viaduct near Las Vistillas, in the Palacio barrio, about seven minutes' walk from Plaza Mayor by the house's own reckoning.
Nearby
Palacio is the grand, historic western edge of the centre, wrapped around Palacio Real de Madrid and Plaza de Oriente. The eating runs from tavern cooking that has not changed in generations to small rooms doing something quieter and more modern. Teatro Real and Jardines de Sabatini set the pace, which is slower here.
