About La Barraca
This traditional restaurant on Reina Cristina serves authentic cocido madrileño, the capital's signature chickpea stew with meats and vegetables. The three-course cocido ritual (soup first, then chickpeas and vegetables, finally the meats) is executed perfectly, making it the go-to spot for this winter specialty.
Insider Tips
Cocido is only served at lunch (not dinner), and you must order it for a minimum of two people; call ahead as it sometimes sells out.
