The cocido madrileño house of La Latina since 1895 — a three-course ritual of broth, chickpeas-and-vegetables, and the meats, served in a room so committed to the dish that it runs almost nothing else at lunch. Family-run across five generations, loud, packed, and utterly unconcerned with anyone who came for a lighter option. This is the dish Madrid built its winters around, done as well as anywhere in the city.
