Verdura & Brasa Madrid

Get your veg fix in Madrid

""Verdura & Brasa" in Madrid makes vegetables in such a heavenly way, you absolutely need to try them! The braised cauliflower, the beetroot, the fennel..."



Verdura & Brasa redefines the dining experience with its democratic approach to cuisine, standing out as the most inclusive gem in the Oter Group's crown in Madrid. What does 'democratic' mean in this context? It's the restaurant's ability to cater to a diverse palette, ensuring that vegetarians, vegans, and their companions have an expansive array of choices rather than the usual token dishes. But don't be misled by its name - while Verdura & Brasa (Vegetable & Grill) champions veggies, it's by no means strictly vegetarian.

The mastery with which they handle vegetables is nothing short of art. For those accustomed to meat and fish, I'd urge you to set those preferences aside just for a meal and indulge in their veggie wonders. On my maiden visit, I ventured into their non-vegetable offerings, and while they were impeccable, I found myself yearning for more of their divine veggies. The braised cauliflower and beetroot are pure delight, but the grilled fennel? It's a game-changer, easily ranking among my top three picks.

As with all establishments under the Oter Group banner, Verdura & Brasa pays meticulous attention to ambiance and decor. The space resonates with warmth, enhanced by the impeccable service rendered by their attentive staff.

Adding another feather to its cap, the Oter Group's affiliation with the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Spain - the world's venerable gastronomic association - stands as a testament to its unwavering commitment to culinary excellence. At Verdura & Brasa, it's not just about eating; it's about experiencing food in its finest form,
