A restaurant and café in the centre of Cercedilla since 1982: mountain meats from the holm-oak grill at weekends, a terrace all year round and pancakes for tea.

A dining house on Carrera del Señor
La Maya has been a hostel and restaurant since 1982, at Calle Carrera del Señor 2, in the centre of Cercedilla. It is one of those mountain-village places: two spacious dining rooms, a café and a terrace split in two, a covered area used all year round and another open one for the good days. It works equally for a breakfast before going up to the pass or for a late dinner on the way back, because the kitchen does not close in the afternoon.
The weekend holm-oak grill
At weekends they light the holm-oak charcoal grill, with a hint of vine-cutting aroma, and on it go ox loin, veal loin, sirloin, suckling lamb chops or strips of Guadarrama mountain churrasco. It is what justifies coming on a Saturday. On weekdays, and at any time, there are fish, dishes from local cooking, portions, salads, sandwiches and burgers. Its website says it is revising the menu and does not publish prices: ask when you call.
Mountain teas
In the afternoon, when you come down from the mountain cold, the house turns to teas: pancakes with cream, chocolate with fried bread, toast and home-made cakes. It is the stop for those coming from the Fuenfría or from skiing who do not want dinner yet.
Celebrations
The two halls are used for meetings, communions, christenings and other celebrations; if you go on a spring Saturday, you may coincide with one.
From 12:00 to 1:00, every day
Open Monday to Sunday, from 12:00 to 1:00. Reservations on 91 852 22 52 or 91 852 12 67.
A few minutes from Cercedilla station
It is in the centre of Cercedilla, a few minutes' walk from the Cercanías station, so you can come by train from Madrid. The Navacerrada pass is about 12 km away by road. If you stay, the Hostal La Maya is in the same building. For the morning, the Fuenfría Roman road starts from Las Dehesas, a few kilometres away, and the Camino Schmid, from the pass.

Qué pedir: mountain meat over holm-oak embers if it is the weekend, and for tea its pancakes with cream or chocolate with fried bread
