Full description

Chocolatería San Ginés has served churros and thick hot chocolate since 1894 and is one of Madrid's best-known sweet stops, open 24 hours a day. The setting is cosy and traditional, with a classic vibe that makes it a fixture on first-time itineraries.

Reviewers are divided on the food itself, with some finding the churros small or unremarkable while others call it a classic worth visiting; the porras, a thicker version, hold the chocolate well. The long opening hours make it useful for a late-night treat or an early breakfast away from peak times, and its huge review count shows how heavily visited it is.
