This might sound very obvious but this is something that’s not easy to achieve all the time, and why? Because it’s hard to find a good place when looking online since you will probably will be directed to franchises and/or extremely popular and often crowded places. While most of the restaurants you’ll find around the city center will be great and give you a good Madrilean experience we think it’s our duty to recommend a couple of places and plates that will for sure be less crowded since summer is over and you may enjoy the terrace and some sunshine while you treat yourself to great tasty food.

Price: 15 - 30 eur
