Vaca Nostra
Vaca Nostra
Vaca Nostra is a steakhouse at Paseo de la Castellana 257, in La Paz, Fuencarral-El Pardo, founded in 2013 as an 'asador de carnes del siglo XXI'. Master butchers select, age and cut the beef in an in-house dry-ageing room, and the carta sells it by the kilo by breed: Galician Vaca Suprema, Bavarian Fleckvieh, Frisona Gallega, Irish Black Angus and a 60-day aged Galician ox. Starters come from the slicer and the grill, with a grilled fish of the day for non-meat eaters.

Background
About Vaca Nostra
The Story
Vaca Nostra opened in 2013, styling itself an 'asador de carnes del siglo XXI', a 21st-century grill house. It runs an in-house maturation room where each cut is dry-aged, and leans on master butchers whose trade the venue traces to a butchery culture going back to 1958.
The Cuisine
A steakhouse built around beef: high-quality Spanish native breeds alongside selected foreign ones, dry-aged in-house and finished on the grill.
The beef
The September 2025 carta lists each loin by age, origin, ageing and marbling: Vaca Gallega Suprema (7+ years, 30+ days, €111 a kilo), Fleckvieh Simmental from Bavaria (€82), Frisona Gallega (€75), Irish Black Angus (€98) and Buey Supremo, a Galician ox of 6+ years aged 60+ days (€141 a kilo). Every cut comes with house chips and a garnish matched to the breed. There's also a 250 g wagyu (€57), beef tenderloin (€32), steak tartare (€24) and grilled fish of the day (€21).
Starters and the rest
From the slicer come Etiqueta Negra Iberian ham and knife-cut beef cecina; from the grill, sweetbreads in ceviche, smoked vegetables, artichoke with cecina and saffron hollandaise, and Galician octopus (€27). Classics include dressed tomatoes, house butifarra, Arbizu txistorra, Cardeña morcilla and croquetas. Desserts are €6.50 to €7.50, bread and aperitif €2.50, and the wine list runs from Madrid and Ribera to Rioja, champagne and sherry.

Vaca Nostra Dining Experience
The place is built around meat: a grill kitchen, an in-house maturation room and master butchers who select and cut. It reads as a steakhouse focused on the produce rather than fuss.
