Casa Dani Madrid

A ‘tortilla’ unlike any other

""Casa Dani" in my opinion makes the best Spanish omelette in Madrid, and this is coming from a passionate Spaniard himself!"

In the vibrant heart of Spain, the debate over the perfect tortilla de patatas — Spanish omelette — rages on. The dish, seemingly simple, divides Spaniards into distinct camps: those who swear by the inclusion of onions and those who ardently oppose it, and between aficionados of the slightly runny texture versus those who prefer it well-set.

Enter Casa Dani, a culinary haven nestled within the bustling Mercado de la Paz in Madrid. Here, they masterfully craft dozens of tortillas daily, catering to both onion lovers and skeptics, but always with a signature runny center. Such is the allure of their tortillas that many proclaim them to be the finest in all of Madrid after just one taste. For the adventurous, a dollop of 'callos' — a rich tripe stew — atop the tortilla elevates the experience to new heights.

Yet, Casa Dani's prowess extends beyond just tortillas. Patrons are treated to an array of classic Spanish tapas, from the melt-in-the-mouth serrano ham croquettes to the refreshing potato salad and the hearty tripe stew. Their weekday lunch menu offers an enticing selection at unbeatable prices, making it a neighborhood favorite.

Tucked away inside the market, boasts both indoor and alfresco seating. Amidst the plethora of gastronomic delights at Mercado de la Paz, Casa Dani stands out, promising an authentic and unforgettable Spanish culinary journey.
