This tavern was founded at the end of the 19th century and is still run by the fourth generation of the same family. Its star dish is the cocido madrileño, which has been in existence for 120 years. José Alberto, its current owner, has taken up the baton of the gastronomic heritage and the cookers continue to prepare the traditional Madrid-style tripe, as well as cod with tomato and tuna loins accompanied by a tasty Manchego ratatouille. Malacatín is located just a few metres from the Plaza de Cascorro, in the most traditional part of Madrid. This traditional tavern, as it likes to call itself, has gone from serving the typical ‘chatos de vino’ on the street in the 60s to welcoming all kinds of personalities who like to be treated in a familiar way.
Its star dish is the cocido madrileño, which has been in existence for more than 120 years.
