In
1939 Antonio Rodilla opened aconfectionery shop inCallao , the very heart of the city. After some years he decided to sell a new line of products, cold meat ("fiambre") sandwiches. Since it was difficult at the time to find a good bread supplier he decided to make his own bread as well, called "English bread", or "pan de molde" (as opposed to the more traditional baguette-like bread).In the early 70's Rodilla opened two new establishments in Princesa and Orense streets, and in
1992 a new firm was created ("Artesanía de la Alimentación") to centralize the production of their own raw materials.Expansion
Between 1993 and 1995 five new establishments were opened, and today it has a total of 72 restaurants; 63 in Madrid, 5 in Valencia, 2 in
Barcelona , 1 in Toledo and 1 inSegovia .Products
Apart from both cold and warm sandwiches, Rodilla offers filled croissants, salads, pastries and fried dishes to eat in the shop or to take away.
