Malacatin
For a purely Madrilenian dining experience, check out the restaurant Malacatin, a century old, tiny tavern tucked away off the plaza Cascorro. Sample the wine and tapas, but save plenty of room for the one and only main dish - cocido. It is a popular restaurant, so make your bookings well in advance.
