If you are a cheese lover, you won’t care about the variety of cheese: from mild to smelly and even stinky, who can resist them? In melted version, alone or accompanied, they are always good. Aaah, who would be a mouse to spend the day among these dairy products…
But better if we stop rambling and move on to action. Prepare your taste buds to enjoy the best cheese restaurants in Madrid.
1. Brasserie Antoinette
Close your eyes to discover some of the best flavors of French gastronomy. A board of delicious cheeses and cured meats and two glasses of wine are waiting for you at Brasserie Antoinette. When you open them, you’ll find a place that captures the essence of French chic like few others .
Its kitchen, completely open to the living room, will give you the feeling of being in a theater. Its carefully designed decoration will immerse you in the authentic Parisian atmosphere – hop on board, we’ll take you directly to Avenue des Champs-Élysées!
📍 Calle Preciados, 34 (Sol)
2. Elemental Bistro
Sergio’s cuisine is a mix between French and Spanish gastronomy, so nothing bad can come out of it. Although cheese is not the main protagonist in the menu, it does play an important role.
Proof of this are their goat cheese croquettes with pumpkin jam, which have been on the menu since the restaurant opened its doors and have become a restaurant must-have. And although they say that it is not good to drink wine with cheese, because any broth can seem wonderful, here it will be a safe bet, because the owner of the restaurant is an expert in fermented grapes.
📍 Calle Corredera Baja de San Pablo, 4 (Malasaña)
3. Cultivo Cheese Factory
Alps, Pyrenees, Picos de Europa… did you know that some of the most delicious cheeses are made in the mountains? Come to the Cultivo Cheese Factory to taste ancient and new recipes along with some wines. If you fall in love with their cheeses, you can take home as many as you want (both from the physical store and through the website). All its varieties come from small, artisan and mostly national producers, so you will be contributing to the consumption of products from our land.
📍 Calle Conde Duque, 15 (Conde Duque)
4. The cheeses of L’Amelie
This cheese paradise is not exactly a cheese bar it is more of a store where you can buy these delights and the best accessories to accompany them, but if you do not want to take them home to end up rounder than the cheese ball, you can enjoy the tastings (many of them with pairings) that they prepare. They are usually made by varieties, such as the one with bubbles (with cheeses that pair great with champagne).
📍 Calle Torrecilla del Puerto, 5
5. Poncelet Cheese Bar
They have more than 140 varieties of cheese from elevendifferent nationalities, something that already seduces us from the beginning. In addition, the staff knows how to give you good advice if you don’t know which type to choose. They can also be paired with a good wine, but if you are more of a beer lover, they have very good craft brands. All their dishes are prepared with cheese, even the desserts, but if you want to enjoy only Tom’s (Jerry’s arch nemesis) favorite dish, order the Comte Grand Affinage.
📍 Calle José Abascal, 61 (Chamberí)
6. Tell’s Fondue
Although it is quite small, its decoration (with a cuckoo clock included) reminds us of an episode of Heidi and we love that. Its specialty is fondues, although its raclettes and its raclettes and cheeses are not far behind. But if it’s all about melted cheese, Madrid Secreto does not hesitate and we let ourselves be seduced by the traditional fondue. We take even the toasted part that remains at the base.
📍 Calle Divino Pastor, 12 (Malasaña)
7. Mya Artisan Cheeses
Inside the San Miguel Market you have this little corner for cheese lovers. They have very well known cheeses from many parts of the world, but mostly French. Although there is also a good offer of Swiss, English and Italian. You can try little-known Spanish cheeses, such as Peñablanca.
📍 Pz. San Miguel, s/n (Sol)
