La Bola Taberna
This is the cocido I'd choose over any. The same family, the same clay pots over coal, the same three-course ritual since 1870. History you can eat.
A family tavern from 1870, painted its famous deep red, still cooking the cocido madrileño the old way — in individual clay pots over coals, served in three courses. A working time capsule.
