Churros are traditional Spanish fried pastries. The first specialized chocolaterías offering churros and hot chocolate appeared in Madrid in the 19th century. Today, churros are among the most famous Spanish foods worldwide. They are sold in establishments called "churrerías" and are traditionally served for breakfast, especially on weekends and holidays, or as a late-night snack.
La Pecera, an unconventional ice cream shop in Madrid, specializes in soft-serve ice cream served in freshly baked waffle cones shaped like the Japanese sweet known as taiyaki. The place is ideal for families with children or sweet lovers who want to try something new.
La Tasquería, a Madrid restaurant with one Michelin star, specializes in offal. It offers three types of tasting menus with the option to choose specific courses.
