It is possible to eat wild reindeer meat from Finland in Madrid. If you want to visit the Scandinavian country it will not be difficult for you to find it on the menus of its restaurants, but in Spain reindeer meat is largely unknown to many. Of course, those who try it think about repeating it. And, according to what they say, it is delicious, tender and healthy, so we will tell you in which restaurants you can order it and see for yourself.
In Spain there is only one distributor of wild reindeer meat, and it is Olmeda Orígenes, a Spanish company headed by Jesús Peláez and with José Gozalo as supplier. They export Spanish products to more than 50 countries and for just over a year, they have distributed wild reindeer meat to restaurants in the capital. They claim that it is pure protein, low in fat and that it melts in your mouth. As exotic in its origin as it is delicious on the palate, this meat brought from the forests of Lapland It is the protagonist of joyful dishes.
good morning
Edu Collado is in charge of this Basque restaurant in Barajas. In a place full of charm, the clientele is established in the warmth of timeless cuisine made with high-quality raw materials. Here the grilled octopus with tetilla cheese and revolconas potatoes or the Bilbao-style Icelandic cod are the winners, but there are many customers who venture to try the macerated reindeer steak tartare (€33). They also offer high reindeer loin with licorice demi-glace as a suggestion and this year they want to include hamburgers on their menu.

A’Kangas by Urrechu
This restaurant is an institution for lovers of grilled meat. The raw material also matters here, as does finding the exact point of the embers so that the meat reaches the plate ready for the first bite. In their menu they bet on national products, such as beef sirloin from the Esla Valley, but they also have a weakness for more exotic meats, such as the Black Angus roast strip from Nebraska. That is why it is not surprising that they were among the first to offer the Lapland reindeer, accompanied by a chestnut or sweet potato cream and demi-glace (€41).

Goceco
With a very subtle vintage touch, Goceco seeks to differentiate itself in Fuenlabrada by offering a quality menu and being clear that (good) modernity starts from tradition. They bet on seasonal products. The meat they offer is carefully selected and in that desire to offer the best they have prepared an exquisite dish with Finnish reindeer meat. The proposal is innovative, with oriental airs, since it is Reindeer in Sashimi marinated with ginger and soy (€28.00).
