Overview
For the first time, two experts in Madrid’s food scene have joined forces. Time Out has spent decades uncovering the bars, restaurants, and dishes worth knowing about. Devour turns that expertise into an evening you can taste, with every stop chosen or championed by Time Out.
Your night unfolds in Malasaña, a neighborhood shaped by rebellion and reinvention. Start in historic Plaza Dos de Mayo before visiting a century-old bar for vermouth and gin, tasting birria made with a blend of chiles, and digging into croquetas in a former tobacco shop.
Along the way, taste classic Spanish flavors alongside the global influences shaping Malasaña today, from vermouth and croquetas to wine, cheese, and tacos. Old-school Madrid meets modern Madrid—all in one of the city’s most fascinating neighborhoods.

What to expect
Casa Camacho: the neighborhood before it had a reputation
Begin at a bar that's poured vermouth from the barrel since the late 1920s, its tiled walls and zinc counter barely changed since. Sip a Yayo, vermouth cut with gin, the same drink locals turned to during Madrid's wildest years after Franco's death, alongside boquerones and a gilda at the bar. It's the same room that watched this neighborhood go from anonymous to legendary without moving an inch.
Mami Tacos: the neighborhood goes global
A short walk brings you to a taquería run by a mother and daughter, where the birria comes from a family recipe three chiles and twenty spices deep. It's Madrid's first specialist of its kind, proof that Malasaña's food scene stopped being only Spanish once the city's borders opened for good. Your table is already reserved, no waiting behind the crowd at the door.
“People expect one 'real' Malasaña stop and three tourist ones. All four turn out to be exactly where locals already are.”

“Four stops, four different decades of the same fight against sitting still. Casa Camacho was already having it in the 1920s.”
