MENU
L’Albufera , a word that in its Arabic origin means “the little sea”, is a land of rice fields and sunsets and inspires the best known dish of Spanish cuisine, La Paella.
It also gives its name to this restaurant whose objective, since its inauguration in 1983 , is to bring to Madrid a space where you can enjoy the flavors of the rich Levantine gastronomy, with the healthy Mediterranean style of sharing food.
In our menu you will find an extensive variety of rice, as well as other specialties made with a great choice of national meats or excellent fish, where the combination of quality of the ingredients and the care, down to the smallest detail, in the preparation of the dishes prevails.
We hope you enjoy our Market cuisine, full of history, passion and above all flavor.
