Lhardy

Near the Puerta del Sol square is Lhardy, a mere pup in comparison with Botín. But this Madrid favourite has been cooking up the regional dish of cocido madrileño – a stew of chickpeas, potatoes, cabbage and pork – since 1839. Dining here feels like being inside an opulent mansion, with its wooden wainscoting, red velvet curtains and large, gilt-edged mirrors. There are private dining rooms for groups. Be sure to leave room for the soufflé sorpresa, a soufflé with homemade vanilla ice cream.
