    Tapas: Los Gatos
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This little bar is located in the "Literary Quarter" of Madrid, between the Prado and Atocha.
    The first thing that will attract you (and amuse you) as you enter is the barroque decoration with typical spanish memorabilia, from toreros to saints, posters, statues... every inch of the wall is filled!!
    The tapas% here (called "canapes" wich is like a big tapa on a slice of bread) are excellent and assorted, from "serrano" ham to salmon, tortilla...
    Beers for 1 euro, canapes for 2,20 euros.

    Tapas: Guinness Record Croquetas
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Ardosa is probably one of Madrid best "cervecerias", that is, an establishment specialized in beers. Long before the “Irish pub” Fever that his city suffered some years ago, this bar was the only place in Madrid where decent Guinness pints were available.

    Having lost the exclusivity of Guinness beer, the bar still offers some exceptional tapas, at very reasonable prices, all within an old fashioned environment that really deserve to be discovered.

    You will not be disappointed with the local Croquetas

    Tapas: La Monteria
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Always crowed Monteria - Madrid
    Always crowed Monteria
    by agarcia
    Send Photo to a Friend
    La Montería used to be the typical Spanish old-fashioned tavern, with the typical deer heads hanging on the walls, the typical old parishioners arguing mainly about futbol and toros and the typical excellent honest food. They recently renovated the decoration, removing the parishioners and the deer heads, but keeping the excellent food at the same prices that always.

    Do not miss the veal and, of course, give a try to the best pincho of the house, the Monterías (specially prepared mussels)

    Tapas: "TAPAS" EL BALCON DE ALCALA
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • this restaurant is not crowded with tourists, is well far from the center of the city, so you will meet only local people. i have been tempted not to discover this place, maybe the next time i go there will be crowded, but it s really a pearl

    the dishes are fabulous, and they are constantly inventing new ones. we celebrated our football team xmas lunch there. i dont know how to translate these dishes into english sorry, but for the spaniards who read this probably will get their mouth melt ... mejillones en salsa de puerros, habitas tiernas con foie queso brie y esparragos, mero a la salsa de cava, carpaccio de atun acompa?ado de huevo picado espuma de salmorejo y pate de aceitunas negras, solomillitos de cerdo iberico a la pimienta,ciervo a la pimienta verde ...

    the price ... 35 euros but, well, we began at 2.30 at end at 6 P.M. and ate like beasts, acomponied by "a couple" (ejem ... ) of Ribera del Duero wine bottles, fine desserts, coffes and pacharanes (basque liquour). but normally would be 15-20 euros

    21/12/2003

    las habitas con foie esparragos trigueros y queso brie fundido ... ýam ýam :-) i dont know how to translate "habitas" into english. i think should be something like green soft beans with asparagus, foie and melted brie cheese

    and dont forget the deer with green pepper sauce

    Tapas: La Musa
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • La Musa has tasty spanish and cosmopolitan tapas and drinks. Try the Mojitos and Caipirihnas. Decor is a modern stylish casual, with light wood tables and chairs. I first went here 4 years ago and went back recently to find I forgot how nice this place is! I'll have to go back soon. Try the "brochettas" (shish kebab) are popular and they have a range of different salads and tasty things to try. If its a weekend go "early" around 8.30 or 9 to get your selection of a table or try your luck later.. Food is served after 8.30 pm and the prices are not cheap but not expensive either.

    Tapas: Nibbles around Plaza Santa Ana
  • Tip Rating:
  • A Bar on Plaza Santa Ana - Madrid
    A Bar on Plaza Santa Ana
    by eliowny
    Send Photo to a Friend
    The area right around the Plaza Santa Ana is my favorite part of Madrid (that I've visited so far, anyway). The construction on the Plaza was recently finished, and its a great place to sit outside, watching the crowds go by and relaxing in the warm evening air. Even better, however, is to go inside the crowded, noisy bars (avoid anyplace that's not full) and stand or sit at the bar. Order a drink and you'll likely get a free (if small) Tapa. But even better is to point to something you like from the case. Have one drink (but no more, unless you really love the place), then move on. Repeat until you can't stand anymore from eating and drinking too much. Then go dancing!

    Any thing that looks good! Unless you are a vegetarian. Then be careful! I found that in spain, "This piece of food is vegetarian" normally means, "This piece of food is less than 100% meat"

    Tapas: Tapas, Typical dishes and Seafood
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I can farely say that La Trucha was part of my growing up as it is my mother's favourite and she would always bring me here. The food is excellent and I love the atmosphere: the upper street level has a bar with arched ceiling, whitewashed walls and an Andalusian tavern-like ambience; my personal favourite, perfect for a delicious tapeo. But if you're in the mood for a more proper table-sitting dinner you can also head to the downstairs dining room.

    La Trucha is very well-known and reservations are recommended. Also, if this branch turns out to be too crowded, there's another Trucha at Núñez de Arce 6, Metro Sol (ph: 91-532-08-82).

    The tapas in the bar are my favourite but
    there is a complete a la carte menu including typical Spanish dishes and all kinds of seafood.

    Here are some recommendations:
    trucha (trout)
    verbenas de ahumados (a selection of smoked delicacies)
    fabada (stew made with beans, Galician ham, black sausage, and smoked bacon) and for the more adventurous rabo de toro (home-style oxtail)!

    Tapas: best for late night cocktails
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The inside of this restuarant has a weird feel to it... it's like they've decided to put in as many different types of decor to create a world fusion type of atmosphere...

    the bar was absolutely packed when we got there but it gets a little easier if you can blag a table.

    the ambience of the this place is really nice... a blend of everything.

    the best thing about this place had to be the cocktails... somethings i'd never even heard of, and in true spanish fashion... more alcohol than mixers

    Tapas: TAPAS "TORITO"
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • place out of the tourist track. they lack a wide diversity of wines, but the quality of the food is good. crowded every weekend with locals, try not to go there when there is a "real madrid" match, coz you are going to feel like in the underground at peak time (as i did this ver saturday)

    good service, and very funny manager. nice atmosphere, u can drop a line in this bar ;-)

    it s near "avenida del brasil", a very well known nightlife area, so its a good place to have something before a long night

    big circular bread with spanish ham and melted brie cheese ...
