La Hípica: a family grill restaurant makes Monte de El Pardo the new weekend destination
A grill restaurant has arrived in Monte de El Pardo. Charcoal-grilled meats, a rustic atmosphere and equestrian activities. A different option for families and groups seeking nature and good food near Madrid.
Madrid gains a different alternative for weekends: a newly opened grill restaurant in Monte de El Pardo, less than half an hour from the centre, which combines horse riding with a hearty meal in a rustic setting surrounded by countryside and horses.
The focus is on the embers: premium cuts such as T-bone, tomahawk, rib eye or bife de chorizo, classic cured meats (morcilla, chistorra, chorizo), sweetbreads, milanesa and Argentine touches, alongside fish options (zamburiñas, octopus, king prawns) and seasonal vegetable side dishes. Standout starters: rib croquettes or ham croquettes, pastrami bikini sandwich or grilled avocado. Children’s menu for families (chicken burger, macaroni).
The venue has gone from being a functional bar at a riding school to a carefully arranged space with laid tables and candles for intimate dinners. A classic wine list without surprises, traditional desserts (cheesecake, tiramisu, coulant) and meat cooked to Spanish preferences.
Opening hours: Tuesday and Wednesday at lunchtime only; Thursday to Saturday at lunchtime and for dinner; closed on Mondays and Sunday afternoons. Ideal for family getaways or different plans without leaving Madrid.
Monte de El Pardo is one of the city’s largest and least known green lungs. Its proximity and easy access make it a regular refuge for those wanting to switch off without going too far away. The presence of riding schools and horse-riding routes has shaped a small community that now adds this grill restaurant as a meeting point. The opening of this restaurant adds another reason to escape to Monte de El Pardo at the weekend and makes it one of the best leisure plans for switching off near Madrid.
