5 Must-Try Steakhouses in Madrid, Madrid, Spain

These restaurants provide a diverse range of steak experiences, catering to both traditional tastes and those seeking a modern twist, all within walking distance of Madrid’s iconic attractions. A typical Spanish steakhouse, or “asador,” focuses on high-quality, locally sourced meats like Rubia Gallega or Txuletón, often cooked over a wood-fired grill to enhance the meat’s natural flavors. Unlike many steakhouses elsewhere that may offer a range of seasonings and sauces, Spanish steakhouses typically keep seasonings simple, usually just sea salt, and pair the meat with traditional accompaniments like roasted peppers and potatoes, emphasizing the quality of the meat itself.

There are 3 restaurants of this asador: One close to the leaning towers of Puerta de Europa and the other 2 centrically located in Madrid. The first restaurant, located on Calle Félix Boix, 5 is apparently a favorite and referred to as the 3rd part venue of Real Madrid matches as many fans dine there after games. Another famous sportsman spotted there is the tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz. The other 2 can be found respectively at Plaza Isabel II and Calle Preciados, 32, which are both approximately a 5-minute short stroll from the Royal Palace and the Royal Opera(nearest metro station has the same name). De María Asador offers Argentine-style steaks in a cozy yet upscale setting. Known for its premium cuts like the ribeye and tenderloin, the restaurant focuses on high-quality Argentine beef. The “Bife de Chorizo” is a must-try, perfectly paired with chimichurri sauce and roasted vegetables. The ambiance is family-friendly but sophisticated, attracting both tourists and locals. Ideal for those looking for a delicious steak close to Madrid’s historic sites. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
