Foodies - where you need to go in Madrid
On the fancier side
A fusion of Asian with LatinAmerican cuisine, one of our favourites. You have to eat noodles with tuna (it's their speciality). Mmmmm!!!

La Lorenza
3 Calle del Dr. PigaVery cute atmosphere, great rose wine. The tortilla is a different level there, our fave!
Food is experimental. More expensive, but so worth it. They have a great cocktail bar downstairs like in a wine cellar.

Our favorite brunch/breakfast places
A weekend brunch place you can't go wrong with is Pum Pum Cafe (there are 2 in our area) but there is a queue on weekend mornings. It's comparatively cheap for a brunch place!

Laid-back choice serving brunch classics such as pancakes & open-faced toasts, plus shakes & coffee. Very alternative (hipster) place, steeper prices, but great quality and a beautiful ambience. You can also work from here on one large table if you arrive early enough.

Typical Spanish restaurants/bars
Great typical Spanish place with loads of outdoor seating, just around the corner of the apartment! We usually go there for breakfast for a "pan con tomate" y "cafe con leche" or a tortilla.

This bar/restaurant is in Plaza de Coscorro and it offers a variety of traditional Spanish-style foods combined with an atmosphere. It's not fancy at all, a bit rough around the edges!

Besides a large variety of Vermouth, this bar also serves our favorite tapas in town - smoked cod on bread, or sardines with pesto on bread. Just beautiful. Vermouth is typical in Madrid to drink on a Saturday or Sunday before lunch! They've also got tables outside. It's very close to the Vallehermoso market, so stroll by there beforehand and take a look!
