The Centenary Tavern Casa Labra and its delicious cod tapas

In the heart of Madrid, just a step away from Puerta del Sol, the spirit of traditional Madrid beats in the centenary Casa Labra tavern. Founded in 1860 by an Asturian man and named by its second owner, it preserves its 19th-century atmosphere with marble counters, tiled walls, and wooden tables where the whispers of old gatherings accompany each drink. Spaces and ambiance - Standing tavern: high counter and zinc tops for informal tapas. - Restaurant area: tables with cloths, waiter service, and full menu. - Outdoor terrace: high tables and stools, ideal for soft summer evenings. Tapas and specialties Casa Labra is synonymous with cod. Its classics: - “Soldaditos de Pavía”: strips of battered cod in peppers, fried to a perfect crunch. - Cod croquettes: creamy and flavorful in every bite. - Tuna tacos: fresh tuna fillets marinated and served in crispy dough corners. Complete the experience with a fine wine from Valdepeñas or a well-poured beer. Menu and novelties In addition to cod, you will find: - Traditional spoon dishes like Madrid-style tripe. - Grilled red meats with classic side dishes. - Selection of national wines, from Riojas to Albariños. - Seasonal tapas: Padrón peppers, tortilla with caramelized onions, and gourmet preserves. A historical and political landmark On May 2nd, 1879, in this very tavern, Pablo Iglesias founded the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party. A plaque commemorates this event at the entrance. Throughout its walls, workers, writers, and diplomats have passed, leaving their ideas and debates in the air.
