About Casa Labra
Founded in 1860, this historic taberna is legendary for its bacalao (salt cod) croquetas and skewered cod bites. The small standing-room bar maintains its original marble counters and vintage tile work, serving the same recipes that have made it a Madrid institution for over 160 years.
Insider Tips
Order at the bar counter for the freshest croquetas straight from the kitchen, and grab a small beer (caña) to pair with your cod.
