Most visitors reach Las Rozas for the outlet shopping, and the simplest place to eat is inside Las Rozas Village itself, where Cristina Oria, Mentidero and Joselito’s serve à la carte from 10:00. It is not the cheap option: sandwiches start at 9.90 euros, mains run to 25 euros, and terrace tables cost 10 percent more. For a fixed-price weekday lunch, go to Sputnik, Saona or La Enmienda 21, all outside the Village.
Where should I eat in Las Rozas? For convenience on a shopping day, Mentidero or Cristina Oria inside Las Rozas Village. For a weekday set lunch, Sputnik at 11.50 euros or Saona at 14.99 euros. For Basque cooking, Asador Sagasti at Heron City. On Sunday evening, Sputnik, whose kitchen serves until 21:30.
- Village terraces: plus 10 percent on the menu price.
- No bookings: Cristina Oria seats walk-ins only.
- Lunch hours: set menus run roughly 13:00 to 16:30.
Where to eat inside Las Rozas Village
All three sit at the Village address, Calle Juan Ramón Jiménez 3, and all three add 10 percent for a terrace table. Mentidero Sal y Brasas is the grill, open 10:00 to 21:00 every day: croquettes 12.90 euros, pasta 16.50 euros, a burger 17.90 euros and pork ribs 23.50 euros, with bread charged at 3.50 euros.
Cristina Oria is the lighter option, open 10:00 to 21:00 and until 22:00 on Saturday. Mortadella focaccia or a truffled ham and cheese toastie cost 9.90 euros and foie gras 18.90 euros; the bread and appetiser at 2.90 euros can be refused when you sit down. It takes no bookings here. Joselito’s, from the Iberian ham producer, serves a full plate of Gran Reserva ham for 33 euros, a half for 23 euros, and pork presa for 25 euros. Bus times and Village opening hours are in how to get to Las Rozas Village.
What is a menú del día, and where is it near the outlets?
Spain’s set lunch, the menú del día, is a fixed price for two courses plus dessert or coffee, served on weekday lunchtimes only, roughly 13:00 to 16:30. None of the Village restaurants offers one, so it means a short trip out.
What is included varies, and that matters more than the price. The rules on what a set menu must include are in the menú del día in Madrid.
| Restaurant | Area | Price | Served |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sputnik, La Cantina | Calle París 2 | 11.50 euros, dish of the day | Monday to Friday, 13:00-16:30 |
| La Enmienda 21 | Európolis, Calle Belgrado 16 | From 13.50 euros | Monday to Friday |
| Saona | El Palmeral, Calle José Echegaray 11 | 14.99 euros weekdays, 20.99 euros weekends | Lunch, 13:00-16:30 |
| Asador Sagasti | Heron City | 19.50 euros | Lunchtime |
| Es Panis | Las Matas | 17.90 euros | Monday to Thursday 13:00-15:30, Friday to 15:00 |
Heron City and The Style Outlets
The other two shopping centres have one sit-down choice each. At Heron City, Asador Sagasti cooks Basque food: salt cod omelette 16.50 euros, entrecôte 29 euros and a large bone-in steak at 78 euros a kilo.
Tables for the menu can be booked on +34 916 403 166; the pintxos at the bar cannot. At The Style Outlets, La Barra serves home-style daily dishes, salads and sandwiches; the centre opens 10:00 to 22:00, but the restaurant publishes no prices or kitchen hours.
Spanish meal times, and what changes on Sunday
Kitchens here keep Spanish hours: lunch from about 13:00, a break in the afternoon and dinner from 20:00. Sputnik’s kitchen, for example, closes from 16:30 to 17:30. Sunday evening is the hard one. Saona serves Sunday lunch only, 13:00 to 16:30, with dinners on Friday and Saturday alone, and Sagasti closes its dining room at 16:00.
So after a Sunday at the outlets, eat at the Village before 21:00 or go to Sputnik, at Calle París 2, whose kitchen serves until 21:30. Which shops open on Sundays in Madrid is in Madrid shops open on Sunday.
Eating with children
Saona has a children’s menu for under-12s at 8.99 euros on weekdays, with a main, dessert and drink; Cristina Oria one for under-11s at 15.90 euros, with a small gift; Sagasti one at 15 euros; and Sputnik a kids’ burger at 11 euros. Further afield in Las Matas, Es Panis has a wood-fired oven, a garden and a margherita pizza at 13.50 euros. More family tips are in eating out with kids in Madrid.
What might disappoint
Arriving for dinner on a Sunday: two of the best-known places stop serving in the afternoon. Expecting a set lunch inside the Village: there is none, only à la carte, with bread and terraces extra. And English menus or English-speaking staff are not something any of these places promises, so a translation app helps at the smaller ones.
For the rest of the day, see things to do in Las Rozas, and next door, where to eat in Majadahonda.
