Restaurant recommendations for all audiences
Here you’ll find a brief list of places that were recommended at the beginning of this year by our private tour guides in Madrid. However, some of them are still suggested for the upcoming season, mixing a classic approach to the Spanish culture, with a modern touch.
- Mercado de los Mostenses. If you’re looking for the place where locals do their shopping list (not in a supermarket), here you’ve found it. Did you see our grandma?
- Malacatin, probably the most authentic ‘cocido madrileño’. This is a stew, typical from this region, made with different meats, bones, vegetables, chickpeas and thin & small noodles called fideos. Yummy!
- Bar El Trebol. Don’t expect anything fancy, but a local tapas bar where you’ll probably have to stand in front of the bar tender, and ask what you’re interested in tasting, by shouting a little bit.
Where would our private tour guides in Madrid take you if you were interested in contemporary art galleries?
