Malabar Bistró Nómada

Occupying a townhouse in the mountains around Madrid, this restaurant features a patio-terrace at the entrance and a rustic and unpretentious bistro-style interior. Choose between a concise à la carte (including “raciones”, half-portions, and even quarter-portions for some dishes) with no little creativity and a strong focus on dishes designed sharing. These dishes change regularly (on this visit we thoroughly enjoyed the red tuna with a pepper-flavoured butter, and the succulent meatballs made from 7-year -old ox from Buitrago de Lozoya) and are usually based around ingredients sourced locall

If you’re keen to eat in a unique setting and somewhere with its own philosophy, Montia (a restaurant where the surrounding mountain landscapes provide the cornerstone for its cuisine) could be the place.It boasts a rustic-contemporary ambience which could not be more welcoming, featuring attractive natural wood tables adorned with ‘inlaid cracks’ and an open-view kitchen between the two dining rooms (one by the entrance with a fireplace, the other overlooking a small garden). Chef Daniel Ochoa, who can constantly be seen serving and explaining dishes, sees himself as both a farmer and forager

Koma

Modern Cuisine, Fusion

€€

Part of the La Torre Box Art hotel, Koma occupies a glass-fronted pavilion with access via the garden. It is skilfully run by chef Álex Marugán, a particularly talented cook (he also holds a Bib Gourmand in Madrid, at Tres por Cuatro). Here the cuisine strives to be more essential, direct and conscious, giving greater prominence to the grill without closing the door on some good stews and stocks. The idea is that, with honesty at the core, fire becomes the language spoken here, with a contemporary stamp and the possibility of crossing borders to encounter far-away flavours.

€€

This attractive family-run restaurant in the heart of nature and just a stone's throw from the La Jarosa reservoir is the perfect setting in which to re-energise close to Madrid. Grilled meat and rice dishes are the mainstays on the à la carte, although you’ll also find an impressive selection of tapas and several Japanese-inspired dishes. The rustic-minimalist interior comes as a pleasant surprise, as does the charming chillout terrace.

La Fundición

In the centre of La Granja, opposite the post office and just a few minutes' walk from both the Royal Palace and its beautiful gardens. Its name (translation, The Foundry) is not a trivial detail, as it is located inside a building with a long history that provided both the Royal Palace and the old hospital with its plumbing. Today, after some great interior design work, it is set out with several spaces of unique ruggedness: the bar, the main dining room where the forge used to be, the terrace-patio of the infirmary... What does it offer? À la carte service (we particularly liked the oxtail r

Your imagination will carry you back in time in this charming restaurant, located in the centre of Hoyo de Manzanares just a few steps from the Plaza Mayor, where it recreates the ambience of an old railway station complete with beautiful vintage train carriages. Extraordinary and delightful in equal measure, its two restored antique carriages (one called Vagón 1931, the other Vagón Alfonso XIII) provide the dining venue, alongside tables that are even laid out on the platform. The cuisine, an impressive updated take on traditional roots, is showcased on an à la carte and several menus: Ejecut

This elegant house, located next to the Parador, surprises both gastronomically and aesthetically; no wonder... the decoration is inspired by the Royal Palace of La Granja! Chef Borja Aldea, having trained in great restaurants such as Etxanobe and Disfrutar, proposes a journey to the palatial era through contemporary cuisine, which takes the historical surroundings as a frame of reference and reinterprets the recipe book that existed in the court of King Philip V. You can choose between the à la carte service and the tasting menus, with such suggestive dishes as the Bollo Isabel de Farnesio, t
