This tiny restaurant tucked away into the city center is famous for its hearty, traditional dishes. It should come as no surprise, then, that La Bola is home to the best cocido madrileño in Madrid! What makes their cocido stand out is the fact that they still cook it the same way they did way back when the restaurant opened in 1870: in individual clay pots over oak charcoal. This old-world approach allows each portion to take on maximum flavor.
