Our guide
Most Jewish and kosher life in Madrid centers on the Chamberí district - the Beth Yaacov Synagogue, La Escudilla restaurant right next to it, and Chabad with its own kosher restaurant in the city center. Both operating kosher restaurants in the city are supervised by KM (the Madrid Rabbinate).
Our recommendations
- Base yourself around Calle Balmes in the Chamberí district - home to the cluster of kosher restaurants and the first synagogue built in Spain since 1492.
- Check availability of Shabbat and holiday meals at the kosher restaurants or the local Chabad house at least a few days in advance.
Stay in the kosher area of Madrid
