3 Spots for a Cheap Homemade Lunch Around IE
Our student Manuela Ramirez reviews her favorite places to eat homemade food near IE Madrid Campus at an affordable price.
BENDITA LOCURA
It is a cozy small restaurant located 8 minutes away from MMbis31. From Monday to Friday it offers a tasteful menu for 10,5 euros, which includes one main dish, one drink and a coffee. This menu changes every week with lots of choices such as chicken stuffed with feta cheese and roasted potatoes, as it can be seen in the picture, or duck confit with apple purée.
Besides, you can enjoy a delightful brunch until 1 pm. You can taste their amazing eggs Benedict or pancakes as well as the regular menu offering wonderful options. The Pan Cook Stroganoff is highly recommended or any of their Tartines for lighter options.
Where: Calle del Príncipe de Vergara 73.
VE-GA BAR
The menu follows a typical Spanish layout, with great tapas like the mozzarella & truffle, mini sandwiches to share or the amazing homemade tortilla that costs only 2 euros. Alongside there are also more elaborated dishes like oxtail stew or lamb with couscous. The restaurant also offers a daily menu for 10,5 euros that varies on a daily basis. The place is cozy, very convenient for grabbing a quick lunch any day of the week. It is also a great place if you want to organize a private event.
Where: Two locations around campus: Calle Lagasca 115 and calle de Juan Bravo 29 for a more spacious location.
PANELA&CO
It is a small cute place located 10 minutes away from campus and offering several delicious healthy options.
You can choose from one of the already made salads or compose your own salad with a great variety of toppings such as goat cheese, caramelized nuts, falafel or quinoa. Every salad can also be served inside a wrap or a pita bread. Additionally, you can choose to make your own New York bagel or enjoy their hot daily menu during the week.
During the weekends, the place offers great brunches with classical brunch options such eggs Benedict, pancakes or acai bowls and even detox brunches for those who want to stay in shape.
Where: Calle López de Hoyos 10
