La Madurada
Steakhouse & Grill · Horta-Guinardó, Barcelona · €€
The Horta sister of Carnal Steak House — same beef program, lighter wallet. Sixty chuleteros aging in a glass-fronted six-square-metre chamber, individual smoke extractors at every table, and a chef who came up through the Basque Culinary Center.
The Delekta Review
Second venue from the Carnal Steak House team — Carnal opened on Enric Granados, La Madurada in Horta in late 2023 Chef Joaquín Sánchez is Uruguayan, trained at the Basque Culinary Center, with stops in Peru — also a trained sommelier Positioned as the more accessible, neighbourhood-version of Carnal — same kitchen rigour, lower average ticket
Steakhouse focused on long-aged beef — Frisona and Simmental cuts, mostly 45–60 days, with select pieces taken to 150 days
The chuletón is the headline order — most tables are eating one within a few minutes of sitting down Tapas done with the aged-meat house style: empanadas filled with aged trimmings and chimichurri, croquettes of aged picanha, the local-friendly churrasco
The aging chamber is the room's centrepiece — six square metres of glass-fronted cabinet with up to sixty chuleteros visible at any time Tropical-planted dining room with individual smoke extractors at every table — keeps the meat smell where it belongs and the rest of the room comfortable
