About Couzapín
In Madrid, Couzapín is a traditional Asturian restaurant and sidrería to consider when the goal is a hearty regional meal. The details are direct: casual dress, Asturian cooking, cider from Asturias, a listed spend of $45 per person. Go for northern Spanish staples; look elsewhere if the plan is a different style of Madrid dining.
Couzapín works because it has a clear identity: a traditional Asturian restaurant and sidrería in Madrid. The draw is classic regional cooking built around dishes such as fabada asturiana, cachopos, croquettes, grilled meats, cider. The Macarfi 6.7 Food Rating for 2026 gives it a useful external signal, but the more practical reason to go is the focus: Asturian food, casual dress, a menu anchored by recognizable regional staples.
Order around Asturian staples, then let cider set the pace
The strongest order here is built around the dishes that define the category: fabada asturiana, cachopos, homemade ham croquettes, crunchy Cabrales cheese croquettes, grilled meats, Asturian cider. This is not the place to frame the meal around novelty. It is better treated as a traditional Asturian table, with substantial dishes and enough appetite to enjoy the richness of the cooking.
The beverage angle is part of the identity because Couzapín is a sidrería and serves cider from Asturias. That makes sense with the food: fabada, fried croquettes, Cabrales cheese, cachopos, grilled meats all point toward a strong, northern Spanish meal. If the table wants to explore Madrid through regional Spanish food, this gives a clear Asturian focus.

The room suits casual Asturian dining
The dress code is casual, which fits the restaurant’s sidrería identity. Couzapín is best understood as a place for traditional Asturian dishes rather than a formal fine-dining booking. If the priority is a more formal or modern meal, other dining in Madrid may be a better fit.
The hours also make it flexible: Sunday runs from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, while Monday through Saturday runs from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM. That schedule supports both daytime and evening meals during most of the week, with Sunday limited to the afternoon.
Because the menu centers on hearty Asturian classics, arrive with an appetite and order around the signature dishes rather than trying to keep the meal too light. Fabada asturiana, cachopos, croquettes, grilled meats, cider from Asturias are the most grounded reasons to choose Couzapín.
Worth considering for comfort, cider, regional focus
The value case is strongest for diners who want a full, traditional Asturian meal rather than a small-plates sampling session. At its listed spend level of $45 per person, Couzapín makes sense when the table is interested in the core Asturian dishes and cider from Asturias. It is less persuasive for anyone searching for a different style of Spanish cooking.
