Hermanos Ordás

In Madrid, Hermanos Ordás is best understood as a traditional Asturian restaurant for hearty comfort food rather than a designed night out. The room is described as a simple, classic neighborhood Asturian setting, with checkered tablecloths, wood-fired stoves, a cozy, traditional feel. The case for going is direct: classic Asturian dishes, abundant portions, a lively yet relaxed bar-restaurant atmosphere, a price point of about $25 per person.

The main reason to go is the Asturian cooking itself. A meal can be built around Cachopo de Ternera, then rounded out with staples such as Fabada Asturiana, Chorizo a la Sidra, Merluza a la Sidra, or Merluza a la Vasca depending on appetite. This is not a restaurant to frame around polish or ceremony; its appeal is in generous regional dishes served in a traditional Madrid setting.

Go for Asturian comfort food, not a formal night out

This is a strong choice for diners who like regional Spanish cooking in a direct, abundant style. The mood is casual, the draw is hearty food rather than ceremony. That makes it better for a relaxed meal than for a formal occasion where a highly designed dining room is the priority.

The practical angle is appetite. Fabada and cachopo are not light choices, so the meal works well when the table is ready for rich, filling food. If the group wants balance, fish dishes such as merluza a la sidra or merluza a la vasca can sit alongside the heavier Asturian classics. The smart move is to order with the restaurant’s comfort-food identity in mind rather than trying to turn the visit into something lighter or more formal than it is.

The room is part of the decision. Checkered tablecloths, wood-fired stoves, rustic Asturian cues, a lively bar-restaurant feel point to a place that suits diners who enjoy a traditional setting with energy. It is not the pick for design-led dining. For diners who care about regional identity, though, the value is in seeing Asturian cooking hold its place in Madrid.

What to order first, when to be selective

Start with the restaurant’s Asturian identity, then edit the table around appetite. Cachopo de ternera is an anchor order. Fabada asturiana is the full comfort-food move, especially for diners who want the most traditional-feeling experience. Chorizo a la sidra keeps the meal tied to Asturias without making every course feel like a main event. Fish dishes such as merluza a la sidra or merluza a la vasca are useful if the group wants balance.

At this price level, the value is strongest when the table orders around appetite. The portions are described as abundant, so diners can cover more of the restaurant’s Asturian classics without turning the meal into a slog. This is also where Hermanos Ordás works well for diners who want regional cooking without fine-dining spend, because the interest comes from the traditional Asturian dishes.

Planning it into a Madrid food trip

Hermanos Ordás is useful as a direct Madrid meal when the goal is traditional Asturian cooking at a moderate price. The hours are Monday to Saturday from 07:00 to 23:00, with Sunday closed, as of May 2020, so check current hours before relying on a plan. Dress casual unless the rest of the day requires otherwise; the venue’s identity is neighborhood Asturian, not formal dining. The restaurant also has a Macarfi 6.5 Food Rating for 2026, but the main reason to visit remains the hearty Asturian dishes and relaxed traditional atmosphere.
