Casa Hortensia
About
Casa Hortensia is a celebrated Asturian‑style restaurant situated in the heart of Madrid’s Chueca neighborhood. Founded by Doña Hortensia and Don José Luis Núñez, the establishment has earned numerous accolades, including being named Madrid’s best fabada in 2015. The menu showcases classic Asturian dishes—such as the renowned fabada, succulent lamb, pan con tomate, and a cheese platter featuring Cabrales—prepared with locally sourced ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship. Guests can enjoy a dual‑floor dining experience: the ground‑floor restaurant offers a sophisticated setting for formal meals, while the third‑floor sidrería presents an informal, convivial atmosphere for those who wish to savor carne asada, sidra, and traditional tapas. Each space is designed to reflect Asturian heritage, complete with rustic decor, welcoming staff, and a comprehensive wine list curated by the on‑site bodega. Whether dining for a special occasion in the private salon, sampling the authentic sidra in the third‑floor bar, or simply exploring the classic flavors of Asturian cuisine, Casa Hortensia promises a memorable culinary journey that honors tradition while embracing contemporary hospitality.
