Hubby and I walked by Casa Labra a few times and it was also packed with people nibbling on their famous tajada de bacalaos (lightly breaded cod) and cod croquettes. The first time we dined in the dining room in the back of the restaurant but quickly realized everything was slightly more expensive by about €0.1 - € 0.3. It... More

We've been at the restaurant part of the place, and I have to admit, it was a disappointment. The food was not that good despite all the nice reviews online, the service was just awful, the waiter seemed to be bored and unwelcome. He couldn't even _try_ to speak English! None of us speaks Spanish and we had some troubles... More

The huge crowd in the bar gave Casa Labra great atmosphere. We sat in the restaurant which was empty when we went in. The bacalao was very good and the prices were very reasonable.

This is supposed to be the bar where Spanish socialist party leaders were when the rank & file were getting beaten up by the "grises" (police) at Plaza Sol . It has real scuffy old world charm and apart from the cod croquettes, really great empanadas and good cheap wine. Great fun place if you speak Spanish and great for... More

This restaurant and tapas bar, located in a side street next to Puerto Sol, serves first class bacalao. Even if bacalao is the tradition the restaurant coule add some other sea dishes on the meny.

One of my favourties Top10 tapas bar in Madrid: you wait a samll queue and they give you cod croquettes and wine/beer. Excellent to recover energy and continue the cultural route in Down Town.

After reading several TripAdvisor reviews we decided we should try the place. It's tactical location behind the main square in Madrid and the long queue of local customers got our hopes high... but we ended up being disappointed. It was not worth the wait. Had there been no queue it might have been worth a visit as the fired cod... More

We decided to ask for a table in the rear dining room to get away from the crush of locals in the bar. Ot certainly had an old world feel but not surprising when is was c1860. The range of tapas was not extensive but we managed to share a plate of the Bacalao y croquetas and other offerings with... More

I travel to Spain at least 8 times per year mostly to Madrid, I know a bit about tapas places. This place is cool, almost 200 years old. but the food is expensive and below average for Spanish standards. Croquetas de bacalao (small cod cakes) are famous but they don't have much cod. Fried bacalao is so greasy that you'll... More
