Este sitio es un must en la gastronomía de Madrid. Delicioso cocido completo de 3 vuelcos que hemos podido degustar con niños (los cuales pagan la mitad). Precio muy sensato y correcto para la cantidad y calidad del producto, el cual ademas ofrecen para llevar ya que es imposible comerse todo. Repetimos de sopa 3 veces. La reserva es totalmente imprescindible

Hermoso restaurante, tradicional por sus cocidos. Lamentablemente no encontramos mesa para comer pero Miguel nos hizo un lugar para una degustación de cocido y de callos que estaban increíblemente buenos. La atención de Miguel vale destacar, nos atendió como si fuesemos viejos amigos. Si quieren comer cocido, hagan reserva con mucha anticipación (mínimo un mes).

Reservar mucho antes y tomarse un cocido madrileño en 3 vuelcos (que es difícil de acabar) o esperar cola (ir tempranito) para comerlo en barra a modo degustación. Tapita de chorizo riquísima. Merece la pena esperar un rato para catar su cocido y el caldito, de buen tamaño para 2 personas. Caldito y degustación algo más de 10€. Buen vermut.

Great place for Cocido as it is a traditional resto for years. Nice ambiance as well. Def need reservation. The price for their cocido set per person is reasonable considering the ambiance and the quantity and quality. Also located in a nice area. Def recommended :)

Felt like a truly classic Madrid spot. Lots of food, really good service, and really cool art on the walls. Lively and delicious, very happy I got a chance to visit!

This is one place you must visit to live the whole traditional food experience from Madrid. Cocido Madrileño at its best, perfect traditional atmosphere and the legacy of a 100+ year old restaurant. Booking a table is difficult as there’s many people looking for one, but you can do the line for a place at the counter (aprox 40 mins) and live the same experience plus asking nice tapas and tasting the Cocido Madrileño. Don’t miss this place!

Talk about a fabulous traditional Madrileño dining experience. The hustle and bustle of the dining room, surrounded by history. I wanted my first time having “Cocido Madrileño” to be authentic. Malacatín delivered. My husband and I each had “Nuestro famoso Cocido Madrileño.” It’s 25€ / Persona and no you can’t share one. Be prepared for the massive portion, so go hungry. I have pictured all the various foods that come with the order. You basically create the stew of your choosing or put everything in the broth at once, which I believe is the true way to eat it. It was divine 😋

One of the best meals we had during our trip to Spain. The restaurant is very authentic and has such a long history. Luckily we made a reservation in advance and when we arrived around 7pm all the tables were booked. The stew was simply great with a lot of dishes and generous portion. I can’t have enough of it, will sure come back next time we are in Madrid.

Nearly wasn't able to eat here for a very late lunch because they were fully booked, so try and get a reservation in advance! Luckily we were able to squeeze into the bar counter. We got the cocido Madrileño and the callos as well as patatas bravas and bread. The food was all delicious, and luckily since they were from the bar menu, the portions were small enough and good enough for 2 to share. Love this quaint restaurant and bar, with it's lovely neighborhood vibe.

Great service considering not everyone in Madrid speaks English, but our waitress spoke at least Spanish, English and French. She explained everything on the menu and especially the highlight, the "cocido", one of the traditional dishes of Madrid, a very rich soup made from broths along with chickpeas, potatoes and of course a selection of different meats. We also tried the oxtail which was very tasty. A few good wines are also available. Definitely make a reservation or you might be upset.

Authentic restaurant from the 1800s. Very kind and helpful service, delicious meals in a historical environment. Highly recommended. Advised to book advance if you arrive after 7pm.

Absolutely great, the sizes of those tapas was enormous especially considering that price. The cocido a must try as a tapa or as a full course meal. All the dishes were excellent, the service was quite good and you only see tourists in this place.

Catalina Gutierrez

Nice place! It transports you to the traditional Spanish cuisine, delicious and well served "Cocido Madrileño", one portion is enough for 4 people. The cheesecake is delicious too !! Friendly service and cozy atmosphere, recommended 👌🏻

Alida

Delicious, traditional food that we had to eat standing at the bar, because the restaurant was absolutely packed. So make sure you book way in advance if you care to sit down and eat a proper 3 course meal.

Cocido con solera. Las camareras son súper atentas. Las raciones son grandísimas. Te lo puedes pedir para llevar. En invierno apetece mucho y los sabores son intensos.

Nos lo habían recomendado y ha superado las expectativas..es verdad que habíamos reservado pero tanto el trato como la comida buenísima. La verdad calidad precio bastante bien. Éramos 4 personas repetimos sopa y lo que nos sobró nos lo pusieron para llevar.

Dadas las dimensiones del local, no parece buena idea meter tantas mesas. Los camareros muy atentos, pero van pelín estresados (los horarios de los pases llevan a ello) y el producto está bien, pero quizá yo llevaba la expectativa demasiaso alta.

Had the cocido - soup was delicious; the constituent meats and pieces not so much. Wife had the steak, which was fantastic. Terrific service and great vibes.

Nicholas Lim

We were seated at a "quick meal" area (did not reserve for lunch), so this review is based on that. Food was ok. Nothing spectacular. Simple fare for a quick lunch. Decor has a lot of character - Church out my photos. Service was friendly although communicating in English was a challenge. Prices point was reasonable. Overall it was an ok experience.

Un restaurante centenario, con buena atención y bien organizado, típico de cocido madrileño. Si quieres comer cocido en mesa, reserva con unos 5 - 6 meses de antelación. La otra opción, es tomar la degustación en barra, no hay que reservar, llegas y esperas en la fila, en la barran entran unas 6 - 8 personas a la vez, para mi no es muy cómodo, tienes que comer de pie, y en un pequeño hueco. En mi caso, esperé más de una hora fuera, y la verdad después de tanto, esperaba algo mejor. El consomé muy rico y sabroso, los garbanzos muy buenos, pero las carnes, al menos ese día, el chorizo y la morcilla estaban muy duros. Lo recomiendo si vienes a Madrid, a conocer un restaurante con historia, y probar lo que es el cocido, y otros platos de Madrid.

Fuimos por referencias en artículos de prensa (al igual que hemos visitado otros similares) y esperábamos mucho más. El servicio y atención excelente, tanto por la disponibilidad como por la rapidez. Con respecto a la comida, pedimos cocido para 2, de cantidad bien (aunque me sorprende el que no se puede compartir), el sabor igualmente bien, pero si digo que algo salado (sí, llevan huesos y tal, pero un poco menos también lo haría sabroso) y que el chorizo estaba bastante duro (era necesario un cuchillo para partirlo). Nos sobró comida y decidimos llevárnosla, pero me sorprende que se cobre el tupper (1,3€), lo entiendo, tiene un coste, pero creo que un cocido a 26€ por persona, ya está bien pagado, por lo que creo que sobra, y máxime cuando en la mayoría de los restaurantes no lo cobran, aún así, si el coste es importante, hay mejores formas de cobrarlo. Por último, el local, ambientado, pero bastante estrecho, tanto en las mesas como los aseos.

El cocido es espectacular sin embargo es terrible que no permitan compartir u ofrezcan medias órdenes cuando las porciones son imposibles para una mujer. Esto propicia que la comida se desaproveche lo cual me parece inaceptable. Hay que comer con mayor conciencia. Ya ni siquiera ofrecen en el menú la sopa adicional para compartir el resto del cocido. El servicio regular. Nada que reclamar pero tampoco algo que resaltar.

Había probado el bacalao de Casa Labra, el bocadillo de calamares de La Ideal, los huevos de Lucio, los callos en La Rayua y el chocolate con churros de Chocolatería Ginés, todo buenísimo. No podía irme de Madrid sin probar el famoso cocido y elegí este restaurante por ser un referente, porque si lees la descripción que hacen de su cocido en su página web se te hace la boca agua y por las buenas críticas que tiene ¿? La sopa demasiado fuerte para mi gusto (nada que objetar, ellos mismos dicen que está potente), los garbanzos, la col y el trocito de patata buenos. Pero llegaron las carnes y utilizando su propia descripción, el morcillo de ternera no estaba nada jugoso, la pechuga de la valiente gallina, estaba muy seca y el rancio codillo ibérico super seco y astilloso, incomible. No es que no te puedas acabar el codillo por la cantidad, (yo me lo podría haber acabado, es que no te lo acabas por lo secas que están las carnes principales. Todas las mesas de alrededor que yo vi las devolvieron y de ahí a la basura. Es cierto que algunos clientes las pedían para llevar pero si no te las puedes comer recién hechas imagínate después. Si quieres pagar más para que gran parte de la comida acabe en la basura puedes ir aquí, pero si tienes días libres puedes gastarte 7 € para ir a Alcalá de Henares, un martes o un jueves, y podrás comer un cocido realmente bueno en Las Cuevas de Rocinante por 16,50 € el menú con bebida y postre. Es lo que hice yo. No tengo nada que ver ni con los unos ni con los otros, ésta es mi opinión sincera.

Service was terrible, we were tourists (Analita) Anna was rude and had a terrible attitude. Also when we ordered the course, she did not cut the meat for us even though she had done so for all the other tables. Meat was also too salty, but main complaint is the service

Came here at a family recommendation. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. The cocido? Bland. Almost everything we had was of mediocre quality or poorly cooked. Service was also lacking. It was probably great in its heyday, but now it feels like it’s living off its past rather than living up to it.

the booking system is UNACCEPTABLE. I have stated clearly that I would like to come for dinner at 7 pm on 29 December… and the restaurant have sent a confirmation email themselves. I even sent another email to confirm again. When I arrived, we were just turned away saying simply “we are closed for dinner” without further explanation or even trying to find a solution for us. If you were to be closed, why give the confirmation? this is so unprofessional service do not try to book

We came in with such high expectations, super excited to try the Cocido Madrileño, the traditional Madrid stew, but we walked out extremely disappointed. Honestly, please save your money and avoid it. You worked hard for your money, spend it something that is worth it😭 First of all, the portion size for one person is absolutely unnecessary. It’s way too big, and you’re not even allowed to share. One portion could easily feed two people (maybe even three if you’re girls). I just don’t get why you’d serve that much food to one person. It’s not enjoyable, it’s wasteful, and it kind of kills the experience. Secondly, the stew is WAY WAY WAY too salty. Seriously. We started with the first vuelco, the broth with noodles. First sip, and I legit questioned if it was cooked with seawater. We then added the chickpeas and vegetables, hoping it would balance out the saltiness. It helped a little, and for a moment we thought, “Okay, maybe this is salvageable.” Then we got to the third vuelco, and that’s when 💩 hit the fan. The cured jamon was super dry and salty, and combined with the soup, every bite felt like I was dying with this seawater food. The only meat that was somewhat edible was the beef shank, but even that was very salty. Thirdly, the problem doesn’t just stop at the cocido. One of our friends ordered fish, and when it came out, half of it was cold. We kept asking each other if we were imagining things, like how do you cook a fish and serve it half cold? Anyway, to wrap it up: our favorite thing was chugging the bottle of water to save ourself and the moment we could stop eating. On the bright side, the experience was so ridiculous that we ended up laughing our asses off. Great memories with our group, but definitely not because of the food.✨✨✨ 我打了一堆英文 但我想說的是拜託拜託遠離這家餐廳 食物有夠無敵鹹 真的嚇死我們 讓我犧牲小我完成大我 請你們不要在這吃飯 吃完真的會懷疑人生😭😭😭😭

The cocido itself is excellent , but the overall experience was disappointing enough that I wouldn’t recommend it. They don’t allow sharing, and the portions are absurdly large, even for two people. Everyone leaving the restaurant was saying the same thing: way too much food, most of it wasted. Service was unfriendly, and when I asked to take the leftovers because I felt bad about the waste, they charged €1.30 for the takeaway Container. It’s a shame that such a good dish is served with so little thought for the customer experience or basic sustainability and respect for the animals. Sadly, I wouldn’t go back
