Just kept me wondering how can something as simple as fish fritters be so so delicious and so so consistently golden crispy and selling non-stop! As busy as it seemed, the queue moved fast, in about 7 mins I had a platter to myself! If you want to seat or a dedicated table, might take a while, but there’s enough counter space to give you a moment to enjoy these
★★★★★ A Legendary Taste of Madrid – Bacalao Perfection There are places you visit… and there are places you experience. Casa Labra is the latter. This centenary tavern is not just a restaurant, it is living history in the heart of Madrid. From the moment you step inside, you feel the soul of old Spain in its tiled walls, wooden counters, and timeless atmosphere. It is authentic, proud, and beautifully preserved. And then come the stars of the show… The tajadas de bacalao, perfectly golden, delicately crisp on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside. Each bite is simple yet profound, a masterclass in honoring tradition. The croquetas de bacalao are nothing short of magnificent. Creamy, silky, and bursting with flavor, wrapped in a light, crisp shell that melts into pure comfort. They are the kind of croquetas that make you close your eyes for a second just to savor the moment. Casa Labra is proof that greatness does not need reinvention, it needs respect for tradition. This is Madrid in its purest form. Bravo to a historic tavern that continues to serve excellence, one bacalao at a time. 👏🐟🍷
If you’r in Madrid - it is your must-visit place. You can take to go, or you can calmly sit at the table. Croquettas and fried baccala - is something unbelievable! Very very tasty! But empanadas with meat stole my heart.
A cozy little tavern in Madrid with very good fried food and really fair prices. It does get busy at mealtimes so you may have to queue, but the service is fast and the wait is not long. Definitely worth it.
This is an institution in Madrid so it's often crowded. The pace is fast and it's a great option for a quick bite. Try the famous fried cod although I would highly recommend the cod croquettes as well. The service is effecient but not particularly friendly. Apart from the Barra there is also a dining room with a more extensive menu
