If
you are looking for simple recipies
(i.e. meat, salads, chips, roasted
peppers..) at low prices in
a casual setting, then Prada
a tope is your best bet. Good
place to take children to. This
restaurant is a franchise of
the original Prada a tope establishment
near Villafranca del Bierzo
where a local man (Prada) set
up his first restaurant in a
barn and grew or reared all
produce used in the dishes served
there. Try the cherries in liquor
for desert - simply delicious. |

living in Madrid in the XIX
Century and it is a fascinating
place. The food served at the

richness of Riojan gastronomy
renowned all over Spain. The
menu, restricted to several
delicious dishes changed depending
on the time of year, is served
with Rioja wines. Reasonable
prices. Highly recommended. |

Once
a theatre, this restaurant set
in the elegant Salamanca district
of Madrid, still conserves its
stage, tall ceiling and stalls.
Tables and chairs are set where
the audience once enjoyed shows
and plays. The food is good,
but service can sometimes be
slow as they do like to crowd
as many customers in as possible.
Prices are reasonable. |

Madrid's
best known classic (and pricey)
restaurants
|

Restaurante
Zalacaín
Alvárez de Baena 4;
Tel. 915 614 840
|
In the opinion of many experts,
this is Madrid's most famous
restaurants, where people not
only go for the food, but also
to see and to be seen. Classical
nouveau cuisine, this elegant
restaurant offers customers
a gastronomical experience they
won't easily forget. Professional
service, car-parking service,
mind-boggling wine list. The
"menú de degustación"
offers clients a taste of the
restaurant's most emblematic
dishes and costs about 90 euros. |
| |
Restaurante
El Bodegón
Pinar, 15;
Tel. 915 234 478
|
Another
classic in Madrid, comparable
to Zalacaín in quality
but with the added avantage
of significantly lower prices
- the menu de degustación
here costs just 40 euros and
is a bargain. Innovative cuisine,
outstanding deserts and excellent
wine-list, El Bodegón
is best experienced in the evening
when the atmosphere is more
relaxed and clients can choose
from a special menu. |
| |
Restaurante
El Chaflán
Hotel Aristos,
Avda. Pio XII, 34;
Tel. 913 450 450
|
One
of Madrid's newer restaurants
set in the Hotel Aristos, El
Chaflán is much less
luxurious than Zalacaín
and El Bodegón but offers
excellent food and one of the
best wine-lists available in
Madrid the expensive prices
of this restaurant have not
prevented if from becoming one
of Madrid's most popular new
restaurants. |
| |
Restaurante
La Broche
Hotel Miguel Angel. Miguel
Angel, 29, Tel. 913 993 437
|
Restaurante
Santceloni
Hotel Hesperia -Madrid.
Paseo de la Castellana, 57,
Tel. 912 108 840
|
Both
of these restaurants are set
in hotels
in Madrid and have risen
in popularity among Madrid's
"jetset" in recent
years. Spain's "Gourmetour"
hits the nail on its head when
it says of Santceloni that customers
eating there are made to feel
like "a king" (or
queen!) for a day. Attentive
service, charming decoration,
delicious innovative dishes,
both La Broche and Santceloni
offer modern cuisine at a high
price. |
