Churrería Manosanta

Tucked away in Madrid’s elegant Salamanca neighborhood, Churrería Manosanta is a minimalist haven for anyone seeking the perfect churro experience. The stripped-back decor puts all the focus where it belongs: on the incredibly crispy churros and indulgently creamy chocolate that have made this spot a local favorite. It’s the kind of place where simplicity reigns supreme, and every bite reminds you why less really can be more.

The menu here is refreshingly straightforward. Choose between traditional churros or porras—their fluffier, thicker cousin—then customize your experience with an array of dipping sauces and toppings. Whether you go classic with sugar and cinnamon or venture into decadent territory with dulce de leche, Nutella, or condensed milk, each combination delivers. The pecaditos, or “mini sins,” are dangerously addictive bite-sized churros that disappear faster than you’d expect. For those who prefer something savory, coffee and toast round out the offerings.

Manosanta hits the sweet spot for families with kids, early risers looking for breakfast, or anyone craving a quick coffee and a treat. The casual atmosphere means you can pop in without fuss, and the quality speaks for itself. It’s the kind of neighborhood spot that becomes part of your routine once you’ve discovered it.

If you find yourself in Madrid with a craving for something fried, dipped in chocolate, and utterly satisfying, Manosanta should be at the top of your list. Just be warned—one visit probably won’t be enough.
