This is creative decoration taking to the next level - an experience in itself just to sit and look around. Here are no symmetry or minimalism, and everywhere you look you will find new details. In top of that the food is delicious, the service is friendly and you can try such exotic dishes as zebra, camel and kangaroo.

As this is not right in downtown, you'll find very few tourists here and a more local experience. It's mainly based on food for home-cooking, but ready made tapas can be found as well. Enjoy a walk around the many colourful stalls in this cozy market, that also includes non-food stalls. Note that the market is closed on Sundays.

This is the perfect place to treat yourself to a colourful cocktail or a local beer, after a whole day exploring the streets of Madrid – or as a good way to end a tour of the buildings viewpoint-tower. Let the lounge-music get you in the mood for a night out in the never-sleeping city.

Just a couple of minutes walk from Puerta del Sol, this place is easy to reach while exploring in downtown. A great place to try the classic tapas dishes on a low budget and still get a good quality of food and service. Far from a tourist trap.

To try it many authentic southern tapas as you can eat for a very decent price in a truly nice local atmosphere. The jamon is divine, the fish as well. Football fans you won't be deceived, the walls are covered with South of Spain's clubs.

The restaurant offers a great value three course meal, and you should go here for delicious Spanish-style food with a twist. While the restaurant-area is simple but very cozy, the front and the downstairs lounge are creatively decorated with an urban touch.

It is a local market where people buy their goods but they opened various restaurants inside. The atmosphere is 100% local. It is centric, near Calle Princesa that goes straight ahead to Gran Via, so you can take a walk there after your lunch.

They have lots os places in Madrid but my favorite is the one in Calle Cuchilleros, near the Mercado de San Miguel and Restaurante Botín. The street is beautiful as well, few cars are allowed to drive through there so you can walk and see the environment.

It has a nice "terraza" in Calle Tudescos, 20 meters from Gran Via. If you want to eat true Chinese food or drink a cold beer in a nice open-air environment, this is great. You will be pretty near everything that Gran Via has to offer but will be able to have your caña peacefully.

The place itself is not too big, more like cozy I would say.
What got me to return every time is the different "tapas", for their quality/taste and their presentation, which in my opinion is top notch!
The place is always full so make an appointment I would say.
