The best bars and restaurants in Madrid will gather at the Autocine in Madrid this October with a single intention: to find out who makes the best bravas in the city. The Bravas Fest, after triumphing and feeding thousands of people in its editions of 2022, 2023 and the one held just a few days ago in Barcelona, arrives this fall in Madrid.
Organized by Bravas Barcelona (account of the influencer Edu González with more than 400 thousand followers on Instagram) and the event producer Pleisure, Bravas Fest lands in Madrid through what will be a gastronomic event and also a competition.
The date can already be marked in red on the calendar(the weekend of October 25-27) and it is possible thanks to a change of location: although it was originally going to be held at the Railway Museum, due to bureaucratic issues it will finally be at Autocine Madrid to keep the same dates. And if you had purchased a ticket before the change of location, don’t worry: it will still be valid for the event.
The festival will count with the participation of outstanding restaurants of the city : Docamar, Santerra, Taberna dNorte, Casa Sotero, La Sucursal Chamberí, La campana Arturo’s (Grupo HSG) and Bestial by Rosi la Loca .All these bars and restaurants will also have a star tapa that will not be part of the competition.
Bravas Fest: an event that is also a competition
The ones that will go to contest will be the bravas and there will be a double type of score. The first will be in charge of the attendees, who will be able to vote for their favorite bravas of the event. And the second will be the responsibility of a jury made up of professionals from the gastronomic sector, who will also have to vote.
Tasting all the bravas in order to give their opinion is also something that will be rewarded. There is a Bravas Passport that, if filled in with stamps from each of the restaurants, will allow you to opt for a most peculiar prize: to win your weight in beer.
There will not only be food at Bravas Fest: there will also be activities, raffles, workshops and live music. Admission to the festival will be free until full capacity is reached and there will also be the possibility of buying tickets with an advance menu and priority access (Fast Pass). Tickets are now available at bravasfest.com.
Shuttle bus service
To make the arrival to Autocine Madrid as comfortable as possible, the organization will provide festival goers with a shuttle bus service from Plaza Castilla.
It will be free for those who have Fast Pass and for the rest it will cost 3€. In either case, it will be necessary to show the ticket to board the bus.
