We started with the famous "Taberna La Bola" of Madrid, a family restaurant that was opened in 1870 and now is in the fourth generation of the same family of owners.
Upon entering you can admire a classic decoration in keeping with the spirit and essence of his letter: dishes of all life that we all love.
Their three specialties are the "cocido Madrileño", roast lamb and tripes. Mara, the owner, explained us how they cooked in individual earthenware jars where the cocido is cooked for several hours to have that flavor so rich and home, I recommend it 100%!
We could see several paintings on its walls with the awards that have been granted the best cocido, the best broth, etc. over recent years, along with lots of framed photos with celebrities who have visited them.
When we sat down to eat, we ordered two of the specialties: cocido Madrileño and lamb. Both portions are quite generous, especially the cocido. It has a very homemade taste, reminding me how cook the grandmothers, who were patiently for so many hours and so lovingly.
Thay serve first the soup broth pouring earthenware jar, then the contents of the jar with chickpeas, potatoes, ham, meat, sausage and bacon, accompanied by homemade tomato sauce, onion, piparras and a bowl of cabbage.
The lamb was also spectacular, note that is roasted very slowly, it was very crispy outside and inside very sweet, yummy! He is accompanied by homemade chips and Guernica peppers.
Finally, we ordered a dessert to share, apple fritters with ice cream, it has on top the batter donut and below the softness of the apple, we were pleasantly surprised by the fusion of all flavors, I definitely recommend them!
Undoubtedly, this is a restaurant to repeat, both for the quality of its dishes as by the friendliness of staff.
The price per person is 30 € approximately.
Bon appetit!
