Our place
A tavern with memory and ambition
Madre Mía was born in the historic heart of Salamanca with a clear idea: to bring back time honoured cooking without being afraid to reinvent it. Market produce, grandma's recipes and technique so that every bite makes sense.
And a name that is also what we want to hear at every table.
The chef
David Pereira García
With more than thirteen years in the trade, David has worked in kitchens where he learned that the hard part is keeping it simple: a stew cooked just right, a fry that stays light, fine produce that is never wasted.
His cooking looks to Salamanca and the Spanish larder, and lets itself play when the dish calls for it.
It should taste like home and still surprise you.
How we understand cooking
01
Produce first
Market, season and trusted suppliers. If the produce is good, the dish is already winning.
02
Salamancan roots
Tripe, pig's ear, pork crackling, rice dishes. Classic recipes treated with respect and cooked well.
03
A creative wink
Tempuras, glazes, thoughtful sauces. Just enough for tradition to look ahead.
A bright room, no rush
Cream walls, light wood and the geometric mural that gives the house its name. A place to sit and share, raise a glass with a good Castilla y León cellar and stay a while longer.
