Mitzi was a great tour guide! She took us to lots of local shops and the Mercado Anton. Lots of tastings! She shared her vast knowledge of Madrid and Spain in general. Liked the small group size. Thoroughly enjoyed!

David was the perfect host. Knew lots about the cuisine history and Madrid. Giving great advice on how ”locals” live and where to find great authentic food. <br />Each stop was fantastic and had great food to sample. David’s knowledge of the food and the regions it originated in made it a real cultural experience. <br />I would highly recommend this tour !!

Know Before You Go

Is this a walking food tour?

Yes, we stroll through two central neighborhoods at a relaxed pace (about 2 km total), with plenty of food breaks and seating.

How much food is included?

15+ tastings at 8 spots—more than enough for a full meal. Come hungry! Water will be served at some spots, but we recommend bringing a water bottle if you get thirsty.

Do morning and evening tours differ?

Morning tours start with churros and hot chocolate; evening tours begin with tapas and beer. Everything else is the same.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

We can accommodate vegetarians and non-drinkers. Due to the nature of Roman street food, gluten-free options are limited.

Do we visit a real market?

Yes—an authentic neighborhood market where you’ll taste local staples and meet vendors we’ve worked with for years.

What neighborhoods do we explore?

You’ll visit Madrid’s Literary Quarter (Barrio de las Letras) and the historic center—both rich with culture, charm, and local flavor.

What makes this Madrid food tour different?

This is the original. Created in 2012, it’s built on real relationships—not just restaurant partnerships. You’ll eat with locals, at places we’ve trusted for generations—and walk away with a deeper connection to Madrid.
