El Pato Mudo isn’t the most famous paella restaurant in Madrid, but it’s known to locals for its variety of outstanding rice dishes at reasonable prices. Specialities include black rice with squid ink, soupy rice, authentic paella valenciana and shellfish paella. Served directly from the pan for two or more people, they go well with the local wines.
