Casa Lucio is breathed in the air already breathed Mesón Lucio Blázquez when with just twelve years old began working at the Meson del Segoviano under the orders of Doña Petra in the Cava Baja. In those years, 1945 Doña Petra was the food in the middle of the street to attract customers with Treats. It seems the shopkeepers in the nearby square of the Barley were the first to go to eat there so quickly allowed would be known as home meal of good quality and good price. Years later, the Meson del Segoviano was sold to Lucio and is where Casa Lucio is currently open its doors in late 1974.

With nearly eighty years as Lucio glad to see still runs daily in the restaurant displaying the gift of people who already had notice when starting his career in the Meson del Segoviano. Imagine the amount of people who have escaped the restaurant, almost seventy years leading to the foot of the canyon, friends, people he has seen, grow, go, conversations and all the moments that have ever lived around these tables, which is largely the architect. As he says its only aim is to feed your friends with honesty and joy.

Although her children Carmen, Fernando and Javier have great weight of the restaurant every day glad to see and talk with Lucio and see how he loves his profession and feel the dedication and passion he still professes.

Perhaps one of the most popular restaurants in Madrid, may be among the five or ten most traditional, and without any doubt one of the greats of Old Madrid. For all that often is more of a tourist attraction than a house that bears feeding a lifetime and no doubt by the fame, for his notorious Broken Eggs, in many cases are notable disappointments. Sorry, not me.

I appreciate the history and tradition of this house, I appreciate the effort and the environment that it can breathe, your dedicated service and the result of ingrained way of working for many years, I appreciate its raw material, their loyalty to the product and want to tell you, but I think it's great that their eggs have been a revolution. Sometimes simplicity is the success, not the simplicity.

I'm not going to say it's cheap, lying, it is rather expensive, but in my opinion worth it. Broken eggs at 12 euros, yes, and lentils as well. A great ham dish at 22 euros and a mixed salami and chorizo ​​Iberico vic to 16 euros. We ate three adults and four children, that if they ate as files, plus four lentil soup and three broken eggs take four of the environment and the sausage and ate great. Desserts and coffees and Marqués de Cáceres and paid 200 euros but were very good and enjoyed it.

Would we go back? of course, and may ask the same.
