El Pato Mudo Madrid
Madrid's finest rice dishes
This hidden gem is revealed only after navigating through narrow, white-walled corridors, each adorned with an array of duck decorations that hint at the enchantment within.
Upon stepping inside, you're welcomed into a space where the rustic charm of Mediterranean design meets a playful homage to ducks, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The intricate pathway leading to the restaurant not only piques your curiosity but also prepares you for a journey of culinary discovery, where every detail, from ambiance to plating, tells a story.
El Pato Mudo prides itself on its traditional Spanish fare, offering dishes that are both a feast for the eyes and a delight to the taste buds. The paellas/arroces, known for their rich flavors and perfectly cooked rice, and the black rice, bursting with the essence of the sea, stand out as a testament to the restaurant's dedication to authenticity and quality.
The black rice, in particular, is likely the best I've ever tasted. Masterfully prepared, each bite is infused with the authentic taste of the sea, making it a sensory delight. The meticulous attention to detail in preparing these dishes demonstrates the restaurant's desire to offer its customers an unparalleled gastronomic experience.

The apartment block this cafe sits under is an ugly beauty and I love it, not least for the exuberant planters that are an integral part of the building.
