Full description

Casa Alberto is one of Madrid's oldest tavern-restaurants, trading since 1827 in the central Centro district. The dining room is crowded with old paintings and photographs, giving it a vibrant, local feel that reviewers describe as unpretentious rather than fancy.

The menu covers classic tapas, seafood and meat dishes, with langoustines in garlic, mussels and Manchego cheese among the items diners mention, plus house-made vermouth. Rated 4.4 across more than 5,000 reviews at mid-range prices, it works for a long lunch or an evening meal when you want old Madrid atmosphere without ceremony.

Reviews

Wonderful place to have a late lunch in the center of Madrid. It didn't take us too long to get a table, but we had drinks while waiting at the bar. We ordered lagoustines al ajillo, Manchester cheese and oxtail stew. All of them were delicious. It felt nice to end our trip witha lunch from there before we head home.…
