Los Artesanos 1902

CHURROS THAT FIRST OPENED IN 1902 AND IT’S STILL GOING. THIS IS A CLASSIC SPANISH JOINT WITH STARK LIGHTING AND COOL MARBLE INTERIORS. THE WAITERS WEAR TRADITIONAL UNIFORM AND YOU CAN WATCH THE CHURROS BEING MADE IN THE OLD-SCHOOL-STYLE FRYERS. I WENT FOR THE SIMPLE CHURROS WITH DARK CHOCOLATE SAUCE WITH MY MORNING COFFEE.

Tasting legends

Tasting Churros @ Los Artesanos 1902, Madrid, We thought we should sample one of the Spanish national desert while in Spain. In fact, Madrid is the best city to try this out. I enjoy eating chocolate, but not so much on French-fries or fried stuffs in general. Ada, is the opposite. This place, Los Artesanos 1902, is both a chocolateria and churreria. So it has something for both of us: churros and chocolates.As “1902” is larger than its name in their logo means to show the birth year of this establishment. This founder started selling churros and porras on the street. After generations, it has become an established name in Madrid. This is what i meant that Madrid is the best place to have churros. Soo we thought if we wanted to try churros, why not go to the one that survived more than 100 years? They must have done something right, right? Facade of Los Artesanos 1902

Once you get inside the restaurant, deja-vu…

We were new and didn’t know precisely what to order. To make thing more fun, we had some communication problem. We ended up order more than what we expect. We got skinny churros, fat churros, churros with coated chocolate. So let’s pig it out! There’re a variety of churros, these are just 3 examples.

We find the fat churros a bit more oily. The thin churro, which is the “classic”, is still the best. We had a debate on what to do with the cup of chocolate. I told Ada to dip those churros into the chocolates, but she pointed out that other customer were drinking them. Of course, first you dip, then you sip. There’s no way you can finish the chocolate by dipping it, and it would be a waste not to drinking the remaining.It’s not my cup of tea, but i didn’t regret checking it out. Well, it’s a mouth-opening experience.

Los Artesanos 1902 es una de esas chocolaterías y churrerías de toda la vida que, además, también está en un sitio de toda la vida en Madrid. Emplazada en la calle San Martín, justo al lado de la concurrida calle Arenal, entre los metros de Sol y Ópera en el centro de la ciudad, en este local familiar ya van por la quinta generación de chocolateros y churreros que hacen las delicias de cada uno de los que pasa por allí.

Su historia se remonta, precisamente, a la fecha que señalan en su nombre: 1902. Fue entonces cuando don Florencio abrió un local en la calle Ave María, y comenzó una tradición artesanal que sigue funcionando como el primer día de la mano de su bisnieto Gabi junto a su mujer Carmen y sus hijos. En esta chocolatería se respira la tradición como en ninguna otra. Y es que, además de los churros y porras más clásicos, siguen ofreciendo otra repostería desde el año de su fundación, como bien podrás ver en su carta.

Unos originales churros y porras bañados en chocolate, o los deliciosos churros y porras rellenos de crema de vainilla, chocolate, dulce de leche, etc. Si prefieres algo distinto a los churros, puedes elegir entre sus crepes, gofres o cualquier otro pastel casero de los que tienen en la carta. Obviamente, la bebida principal para acompañar estas delicias habrá de ser el chocolate a la taza, ya sea en su variante más clásica con un poco de leche, con nata, con licor o, para los más chocolateros, el chocolate puro sin azúcar.

En definitiva, que si pasas por delante, no te resistas a la tentación y date un capricho clásico madrileño en Los Artesanos 1902.
