Cervecería L'Europe in Madrid is a fantastic spot to enjoy authentic German beer and food. During our visit, we tried the L'Europe tray, a generous platter filled with an assortment of German sausages** and succulent pork cuts, giving us a deliciously authentic German feast. The sausages, likely including Bratwurst, Weißwurst, and Currywurst, were juicy and packed with smoky flavors, each adding something unique to the mix. The pork cuts, possibly Schweinshaxe (pork knuckle) or Kassler (smoked pork), were tender and rich, rounding out the meaty experience.
The sides were traditional German classics—sauerkraut offered a tangy, slightly acidic bite that balanced the richness of the meats. At the same time, the creamy mashed potatoes or potato salad added a hearty, comforting element. These sides complemented the platter perfectly, making it feel like an authentic German meal.
Cervecería L'Europe is known for its excellent beer selection, featuring German favorites like Paulaner and Franziskaner. The wide variety of beer on tap paired exceptionally well with the Leripupe tray, enhancing the overall experience.
With its cozy, pub-like atmosphere, attentive staff, and impressive food and beer offerings, Cervecería L'Europe is an ideal place to immerse yourself in German flavors while in Madrid. The L'Europe tray is perfect for sharing or if you're looking to sample a range of German dishes in one meal. It is highly recommended for meat lovers and beer...

In addition to standard German, UK, and Belgian beers, they also had a menu of Spanish micro and craft brews. The two that were tried were not fantastic (the IPA tasted like a very mild gueze with just a hint of hoppiness), but it is nice to see Spanish brewers starting to break out of the lager rut.
The decor reminded me a bit of the Hacker Pschorr tent at Oktoberfest. The waitstaff was sufficiently friendly. There was no lock on the woman's bathroom stall (at least that I could find). They seem to have some quirky tradition of giving people lollipops when the...
Read moreIf you are looking for a place to drink beer, this is a good one. I went for the dinner party of the company I work with. It consisted of 5 courses, served in trays to be shared (sausages, hamburger patties, chicken fried beef, sajonia pork chops and pork ribs). German oriented style. At the end desserts (brownie, two balls of ice cream, and some squares of cakes, per tray). Waiters were fast with the drinks, but the attention is cold (one friend got nagged from one waiter for requesting the drinks one by one). The restrooms were dirty. I would recommend this place if are looking for an informal meal, with...
