Nestled in the heart of Madrid at Pasadizo de San Ginés, Chocolatería San Ginés is a historic establishment dating back to 1894, famed for its quintessential Spanish treats. The menu offers a simple yet irresistible indulgence that has captivated locals and visitors alike for generations.
Starters and snacks
While the menu focuses primarily on its legendary churros, guests can enjoy freshly made churros or porras, a thicker variant, perfect for sharing or sampling both by special request. These fried dough delights serve as the ideal starter or snack to savor on their own or dipped in luscious hot chocolate.
Mains
Chocolate con Churros is the centerpiece of the menu — traditional Spanish churros served with thick, steaming hot chocolate made from rich, dark cocoa. This classic combination offers a perfect balance of crunchy, golden churros and smooth, velvety chocolate sauce that is not overly sweet, making for a delightful treat any time of day.
Desserts
For those seeking a cool finish to their visit, the dark chocolate ice cream is a standout choice. Renowned for its rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture, it offers a refreshing contrast to the warm, fried churros and deep chocolate sauce, creating a well-rounded dessert experience.
Drinks
Beyond the signature hot chocolate, the café offers a selection of coffee shop beverages and soft drinks, providing refreshing options that complement the sweet treats perfectly. The emphasis remains on quality and tradition, capturing the authentic Madrid café culture.
