Patatas bravas one probably the most famous tapa in the world. And man, I love them! Almost every bar does them, but so many are disappointing. So Yoly and I decided to hunt down the best ones in the city!
Patatas bravas were invented in Madrid in the 1940s/50s, and they have since spread to Catalonia and other parts of Spain. In Madrid they're generally a hot(ish) red pepper sauce, on double fried potatoes. While in Catalonia and Valencia they are generally served with a pepper sauce, which is also mixed with alioli. Both styles are delicious! And we try both in the video.
The bars we hit in the video are...
1. Las Bravas: These guys have a patented sauce that is totally secret and it's a classic place for bravas in the centre of Madrid. A super traditional opens.
2. Askuabarra: A modern option! The owners come from Valencia, and they do their bravas east-coast style, which means with alioli. Creamy, a bit spicy, delicious! They also do a great steak here if you feel like some meat and potatoes.
3. La Ardosa: Out in the Iglesia neighbourhood, this is not the famous Bodega La Ardosa in Malasaña. This is a very cool old neighbourhood school bar, that's packed with locals and just a cool place to hang out. Their bravas are the traditional style.
4. La Maruca: We're going modern again. In the Salamanca neighbourhood (aka the rich barrio), this is the kind of place where they serve the beer in wine glasses. Yep, you know what I mean. And their bravas are a unique take on the classic dish.
5. Docamar: Way out in the Quintana neighbourhood, this place is a famous neighbourhood stop for bravas. They even sell their secret bravas sauce in bottles to takeaway. They're also famous for their bocadillo de calamares.
So, we hit these five bar (3 traditional, 2 modern) to see who will be the winner!!!
