Mesón Cid

The Bar Cid is another legendary place in the area of Laurel. It is located in Travesía del Laurel: easily recognizable thanks to its traditional atmosphere, that is palpable from the outside, since its usually full.

The typical dish is as simple as it its delicious: grilled mushrooms. You can order it as a pincho, tapa or dish. They are delicious, with great consistency. The pincho comes with two huge mushrooms between pieces of bread and with a sauce that “only grandma knows, and grandma doesn’t share it”, the waiter tells me. It is soft and doesn’t hide the taste of the mushroom itself.
