La Taberna de la Daniela

Elegant wooden pillars and painted tiles divide the zinc-topped bar from the formal seated dining room at this Goya neighborhood restaurant. The signature cocido madrileño, a meat-and-chickpea stew served in three stages, also comes in a kids’ menu size. First up is a bowl of noodles and stew broth, followed by a plate of chickpeas and vegetables, and lastly the boiled pork and sausage. Portions are large, and diners end the meal with a shot of herbed liqueur. For lighter fare, waiters in the tapas bar serve anchovy canapés and empanadas to those seated at the marble-topped tables.
