La Sanabresa

This guide contains my 120 top restaurant recommendations in Madrid and commentary about how to eat like a Spaniard. I cover all types of eateries (tapas bars, restaurants, etc) plus give you the lowdown on Spanish eating customers (so you can eat like a local). Use this guide to ensure you never have a bad meal while exploring the Spanish capital! The 120 included restaurant recommendations cover the whole city and a variety of price points. Note that this does not cover coffee shops, dessert spots, or purely drinking establishments. But it gives you the best places for lunch and dinner in this incredible city!
