While the most famous dish which has made its way out of Spain and into restaurants all over the world is paella, you’ll soon find that the variety of food on offer in Madrid involves a lot more than the aforementioned rice specialty. This is not to say that you shouldn’t at least sample paella while you’re there but there is a whole lot more on offer in this city which seems to specialise in delicious cuisine.
A veritable melting pot for cuisines from throughout the country, the city also has a host of its very own dishes. Cocido Madrileno is the most widely known traditional Madrid dish and is a type of stew which consists of chickpeas, cabbage, celery, carrots, turnips, and chicken, beef or pork. Callos is another typical Madrid dish and is made using tripe. Finally, Sopa de Ajo (garlic soup), Tortilla de patatas (potato omelette) and Busego al horno (baked bream) are among the other favourites enjoyed by the locals.
Despite its distance inland, the seafood on offer in restaurants throughout the city is also well worth sampling. Delivered fresh every day from ports all over the country, Madrid has the second biggest fish market in the world, second only to Tokyo. You are guaranteed that any seafood or fish dish which you order is going to be one of the best you will ever eat.
For the less adventurous among you it’s easy to find cuisine from right around the globe being served in the multitude of restaurants on offer. From Argentinean to South African and Chinese to Mexican, you will find that each continent is well represented in eateries throughout the city.
