Posada de la Villa Restaurant, the façade of Posada de la Villa has witnessed, throughout the centuries, the evolution of the most traditional side of Madrid.
Protected by the Arab walls, the establishment dates back to 1642, when it started as a guesthouse.
On the picturesque Cava Baja in the neighbourhood of La Latina, this traditional restaurant features one of the most popular wood ovens in the city, presiding the entrance to the establishment. In them they prepare the lamb, roasted over holm oak wood, as well as the typical Madrilenian Cocido, cooked in a clay pot over a very low fire.
Madrilenian-style Callos, escargots and hen in Pepitoria sauce are some of their specialties, which can be followed by their home-made desserts, such as the bartolillos (cream puffs), the mille-feuilles and the fried milk squares.
They also have an extensive wine cellar and a wide range of bands in their cigar selection, completing one of the most unique gastronomic offers in Madrid. |
