The story

Taberna Pedraza: Madrid's Authentic Spanish Grill & Cocina de Origen

Taberna Pedraza: A Legacy of Spanish Tradition

On Calle de Recoletos, Taberna Pedraza stands as a Madrid reference for cocina de origen—a cuisine rooted in tradition, focused on the product itself. Since opening in 2014, the restaurant has refined a gastronomic concept that preserves the authentic flavours of Spanish cooking. Their philosophy is straightforward: "trabajamos por ofrecer el sabor más auténtico en una experiencia real."

The Grill and the Origin

The parrilla (grill) is central to the kitchen. Taberna Pedraza has been recognised as one of the best grill restaurants in the world. The menu highlights classic preparations: tortilla, cocido, and their signature Cocido de Carmen, a dish named after a key figure, Carmen. The approach is one of deep respect for the ingredient—"en Pedraza el origen no es el comienzo, es el futuro que perseguimos."

Recognition and Atmosphere

The restaurant's commitment to honest, Spanish cuisine earned it a Michelin recommendation (2026), along with a Sol Repsol and other awards. The space is described as "amplios y luminosos," suitable for intimate dinners or private events. The atmosphere is welcoming, allowing the food and the grill's smoke to speak for themselves. With a strong wine list (bodega) and a shop offering select products, Taberna Pedraza is a destination for those seeking the true taste of Spanish tradition.
