La Morucha began its journey in 2019 in the quiet Madrid neighbourhood of Montecarmelo. Its first location, at number sixty-four on Avenida del Monasterio de El Escorial, offers an exceptional product-driven cuisine where the grill always plays a prominent role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The menu at La Morucha features spectacular cuts of meat, sensational fish, and the best seasonal produce. It\u2019s a tempting gastronomic offer that includes options for all tastes, always prepared slowly and with generous amounts of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to its creator, the indefatigable Jaime Jaudenes, La Morucha is “a market and seasonal tavern, with no other pretensions than to offer excellence in the product and respect in its preparation”. It\u2019s honest cooking with simple recipes where quality always takes precedence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great reception of its first restaurant in Montecarmelo encouraged its founder to expand within the capital, and in June 2023, a new branch was opened in the Madrid neighbourhood of Salamanca, at number thirty-eight on Calle Castell\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We visited this latest opening to experience its robust Spanish cuisine, always centred around its iconic grill. A dynamic gastronomic proposal that evolves with the seasonal availability of ingredients and is well worth pairing with its select drinks menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our first visit to La Morucha, we started with an impressive number 2 black pearl oyster, which was a true spectacle. This formidable start was followed by delicious gildas from Santo\u00f1a, which we enjoyed thoroughly, before succumbing to the charms of smoky grilled artichokes with sweet potato cream, Comt\u00e9 cheese, wagyu cecina, and smoked Castillo de Canena oil. A genuine culinary gem that delighted our palate from the first bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
