For this reason, there are countless restaurants on Gran Vía and its surroundings. And there are establishments for all tastes and of all prices.
The first
How could it be otherwise, we started the route through the restaurant located in building number one on Gran Vía, where the well-known Grassy jewelry is also located. A commitment by its owner and chef, Paco Quirós, for quality cuisine and the gastronomic essence of the north of the peninsula.
Its classic and innovative dishes include dry rice with vegetables and baked mushrooms, rula hake, squid from Santander, cod fritters or anchovies from Santoña. And if these proposals are not enough by themselves to transfer diners to Santander, the decoration will do the rest.
GastroVía 61
Located inside the Mayorazgo Hotel, this restaurant aims to offer a luxurious gastronomic experience, although affordable for all budgets. At the same time, diners can enjoy its decoration, as it is full of paintings of the most popular squares in the capital.
Regarding the menu, it should be said that all their dishes are homemade and are made with local food. Some examples of what we can find are the vegetable tempura from the garden of Aranjuez or the lamb shank from the Sierra de Guadarrama.

None of the classics are missing: the four cheeses, the barbecue, the Margarita …, although there are also some specials, such as the egg and truffle.
In addition to the pizzas, you can choose from various dishes to share: pasta (spaghetti carbonara, braised beef ravioli, Bolognese lasagna …), salads (from the mountain, from the farmyard or salmon) or mozzarellas .
