La Casa del Abuelo

I have been to Madrid so many times but I have never tried those old-fashioned food restaurants. Today I finally went to La Casa del Abuelo to eat shrimp🦐... This old restaurant with more than 110 years of history is most famous for cooking various shrimps. Tempura shrimp, garlic olive oil shrimp and grilled shrimp are the signature dishes. I personally think that garlic olive oil shrimp is the best, but the taste is not comparable to the spicy crayfish in China [sad face]. I think if you happen to pass by, you can go in and try it, but there is really no need to come here specially. Anyway, we don’t have the urge to come here again...

The location is easy to find, the waiters are very enthusiastic, it is worthy of being a century-old store, and the taste is very good

La casa del abuelo: A paradise for shrimp lovers Every time I walk through the century-old shop street, I am always attracted by this shop Although most people just come here to drink a glass of wine and order a piece of ham, stand and eat and leave in a hurry I think what I like most is their open window sill Sit down and order a glass of sangria with a piece of freshly cut ham and hot scallion shrimp Gambas Looking at the Spaniards walking outside the street, they are leisurely or anxious... [Note] Although this shop tastes good, I still have to say something ugly in advance This shop will charge you randomly because you are not a local, which may also be related to the waiter who receives you Force you to add appetizer bread and include it in the bill (the price is at least 5 euros) In addition, after deducting the food and bread we ordered, the amount still doesn’t match, at least 10 euros more There are very few seats here, and basically everyone eats standing This is also a relatively unique tapas bar in Spain But I pulled a few friends to stand and eat and drink together More down-to-earth Although I have some complaints about this store, the decoration is still very much to my taste La Casa Del Abuelo was built in 1906 It is said that Andy Warhol often visited this place. It is a paradise for shrimp lovers [Scallion shrimp] The scallion shrimp cooked with olive oil has a strong taste. Later I learned that it can be eaten with bread The shrimp is still quite fresh. The heat is well controlled. The shrimp is relatively chewy without being overcooked Through this artistic window, you can see the chef making the store’s most popular dish here - scallion shrimp [Spanish ham] This is the first ham we ate in Spain. A small plate costs 25 euros! Nearly 200 RMB, I ate it all in one go... But it also proves a truth that you get what you pay for, and expensive is not without reason [Sangria] Originally we came here just for the shrimp But the waiter who "charged us more" kept strongly recommending their sangria and gave a thumbs up from time to time Later I thought about having a drink by the way, but the taste was indeed as he described, "Good!" [Note again] This restaurant is highly recommended, but if you go there to consume, be sure to read the bill carefully! 2 glasses of sangria, a portion of ham, and a portion of scallion shrimp (the appetizer bread was forcibly included in the price) Total price 52 euros

"Let's go to Grandpa's house to eat shrimp!" Has it become a fixed phrase for you when you come to Madrid to find food? For more than 110 years, this old brand has been stubbornly on the road of making shrimp. I met a grandfather in the store who has been working here for 45 years. From his youth to old age, his days are spent grilling, frying and pan-frying shrimp. ⭕️Recommendation: Olive oil garlic shrimp, tempura shrimp and grilled shrimp are the top three hits. —— 🍒Restaurant: La Casa del Abuelo Address: Calle de la Victoria, 12, 28012 Madrid Tel: +34 910 00 01 33 Opening hours: 12:00-00:00 (open until 01:00 on Friday and Saturday) Coordinates: near Puerta del Sol
