The restaurant Viva la Vida is one of the most famous spots in Madrid in terms of vegetarian gastronomy. To begin with, what stands out the most is the decoration. A rustic and colorful mix, with wicker chairs and painted walls,

The Mercado de la Reina is a well-known Madrid tapas institution located right at the beginning of Gran Via in downtown Madrid. The order of the day are classic low-brow tapas like croquettes, patatas bravas (thick-cut potatoes with a

Txirimiri is a small pinxtos (Basque tapas) tavern in the heart of Madrid’s La Latina neighbourhood. Well, really, it’s two taverns; one in the Salamanca District, and this one, which has a much better atmosphere and an even better

The Gula Gula is difficult to define with one word only. Restaurant during the day and night club when the sun sets, it is a bit of a quick-change place, like most of the artists that have been entertaining the public of Madrid for 15

The gourmet experience is located on the top floor of the Corte Ingles department store on Gran Via. Enjoy spectacular views across central Madrid, whilst nibbling on a piece of manchego washed down with the standard small beer.

The Spanish Omelette is one of the best, a fact confirmed in the 5th National Spanish Omelette Contest. It’s golden on the outside but gloriously gooey on the inside. It’s best to get there early, no later than 1 or 1:30pm and, if

San Arcangelo is a small Italian trattoria in the Madrid’s nice Los Jerónimos neighborhood where you can enjoy more than decent Italian food, for a rather low price. I would highlight the involtini di melanzane (eggplant rolls) and
