La Posada de la Villa

Cava Baja 9 Cuisines: Spanish

About

This historic inn founded in 1642 offers a modern, more sanitized version of the earthy, grilled cuisine that fed the stonemasons who built the building's thick walls. Within a trio of dining rooms whose textured plaster and old stonework absolutely reeks of Old Castile, you'll find a hardworking staff and a menu that focuses on a time-honored specialty -- roasted baby lamb -- that's ordered more often than anything else on the menu. Other excellent choices include different versions of hake, Madrid-style tripe, and the rich, savory stew (cocido madrileño) that many local residents remember fondly from the days of their childhood. Notice that many of the chairs have brass plaques bearing the names of famous patrons -- I saw one labeled "Janet Jackson" last time!
