Step into Baba, a calm Centro café-restaurant with a patio that feels set apart from the city. Share the set menu course by course and order the skewers.
Full description
Baba is a café and restaurant in Madrid's Centro that reviewers describe as a hidden gem, with an inner patio singled out as a highlight. The set menu is served as shared courses at the table, and guests praise its balance, with the skewers specifically recommended.
It is open for breakfast and lunch rather than dinner, closing around 5:30 PM on Saturdays and shut on Mondays. At mid-range prices and a 4.7 rating, it suits couples and relaxed, unhurried meals, and visits tend to run about an hour.
The aesthetic is clearly part of the appeal.
