TESTED RESTAURANTS
La Madreña’s menu is a journey through the most
flavourful and recognisable Asturian cuisine, with
dishes that appeal both to memory and immedia-
te enjoyment. From cabracho pâté with black gar-
lic gratin to fabes with prawns and boletus, every
dish is designed to enhance the product and ho-
nour its original flavour. Homemade croquettes,
freshly baked empanadas, pot-caught squid or
black-bellied monkfish (pixín) round out a menu
with more modern touches too, such as the shii-
take and prawn ssam with kimchi. But if there is
one dish that encapsulates the soul of the restau-
rant, it is the cachopo, which has become their
hallmark, with a dozen variations from the clas-
sic to more daring combinations. At La Madreña,
every bite conveys a purpose: cooking with roots,
without artifice, but with sensitivity and respect for
the ingredient.
This specialisation led them in 2022 to launch
Cachopo & Go, a more casual line that started
in the Mercado de Chamberí and already has a
second outlet on San Francisco de Sales.
There, they offer variations like the Cachopín —a
smaller format— or the Italian Cachopo, which
blends burrata, truffled mortadella, rocket, and
kimchi sauce in focaccia bread. A way to bring
this Asturian emblem to new audiences without
compromising on flavour or quality.
