Garelos Canalejas in Madrid serves traditional Galician dishes inside the Canalejas Food Hall, with standout seafood, tortilla, and a widely talked-about cheesecake.
Garelos Canalejas sits inside the Galería Canalejas food hall, offering a focused take on Galician cooking in a polished setting. It feels tucked away from the main flow, yet once seated, the experience slows down. Guests often describe it as an unexpected standout among the many options in the hall.
The kitchen leans into traditional dishes executed with precision. The Betanzos-style tortilla arrives soft and runny. The octopus is tender with clean seasoning. Scallops come off the grill with a rich sauce that people finish with bread. Meat dishes like the cañón de sanchón are deeply cooked and served with flavorful sides.
