Part of what makes Bistro Madrid an authentic Spanish experience is the quality of the ingredients that are used in their fantastic dishes. Most of the ingredients that they use are imported from Spain, including the rice that they use in their exquisite Paella.
When in Bistro Madrid, you must sample their Spanish Cold Cuts & Cheese Platter. The platter is composed of slices of Jamon Serrano, Chorizo Pamplona, Salchichon de Vic, Manchego, Mahon, and Arzua Ulloa. It’s the perfect pair to match that glass of wine for an aperitif.

After getting a taste of their appetizing platter, of course, you should go for their Gambas Al Ajillo, a Spanish favorite that has a light, spicy kick to it. It’s served sizzling, giving off the ideal blend between the taste of the shrimp cooked in olive oil and the taste of the garlic.

Another must-try at the Bistro is their El Buey Feliz. As a Bistro Madrid original, this dish is unique yet doesn’t stray away from the restaurant’s Spanish theme. The dish is grilled rib-eye cubes that are served with Española sauce. You have an option to choose between onion rings or deep-fried potatoes with Aioli sauce for your side.

Lastly, Bistro Madrid’s Gran Paella is something that you should definitely not miss. The rice is Valencian rice that is cooked in a Saffron-based stock. Shrimps, tuna belly, baby squid, tomatoes, green peas, roasted red bell peppers, and chorizos are then added to the dish to complete the meal.
The paella also comes in a black version that is cooked with squid ink and seafood stock. It’s an absolute must-try for those of you who are lovers of Spanish cuisine or those of you who are new to the whole Spanish craze.
