Taberna Antonio Sánchez - 1787 - La Taberna más antigua de Madrid

4.3 ·

Pull up a seat at Taberna Antonio Sánchez, a Centro tavern open since 1787. Work through traditional tapas, tortilla and cocido in a snug, historic room that feels pleasantly unchanged.

📖

Full description

Taberna Antonio Sánchez claims to be the oldest tavern in Madrid, operating since 1787 in the Centro district, and its interior keeps the compact, atmospheric feel of that heritage. The menu covers traditional Spanish plates such as tortilla, aubergine, croquettes and cocido, plus homemade desserts.

Reviews are mixed on the food, with some guests praising generous portions and friendly service while others found the cooking uneven, so it is best approached as much for the setting as the plate. Mid-range pricing and a typical one-hour visit make it an easy stop on a Centro walk.

We had the eggplants, tortilla and cocido and everything tasted amazing. The portions were very well served. The service was great and friendly. Highly recommend this taberna and would definitely return!
