The food was great though with some surprises, which played evil jokes on a couple of my friends ;)), the music was live and something special played by Tuna

This ancient tavern has changed little in over 100 years. It is more of a bar than a tapas place, but the short list of tapas served is delicious, particularly the boquerones. The belle epoque decor is extremely attractive, with painted ceilings mixed with azulejos tiled walls (see photos). Enhancing the charm of the place are the dusty wine and sherry bottles stacked above the bar area. Definitely a fun experience in Madrid.

I went to watch the procession in La Latina, and on the square where you come out of teh metro there are several bars. A couple of them have terraces and are quite nice but a little more expensive (because of the terrace) but there is one without a terrace (I thikn it's called the New Bar or the Look Bar or something like that).
This bar is very much a local affair. Unusually you don't get charged more for a table than for standing at the bar. The raciones were excellent and copious and the "limonada" which is a kind of Sangrai made with white wine was excellent.
I loved the snails, but I didn't think much of the pigs ears. The calamari were excellent and I really wish that I'd tried the Callos. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Calle ToledoDirections: Metro La Latina

When in Madrid I don´t usually go to 'restaurants' for a three course meal. My favourite eating experience is the tapas thing. Go to one, two or more places and enjoy different food bits with small glasses of beer (caña) or wine (chato). You can spend hours doing this, and it may be healthy too!
Around the centre of Madrid there are plenty of bars where you can sample tapas, you usually have pictures of them or can see them on display, to ease the choice. Please don´t be put off by the hams hanging over your head, their skin is inch-thick and the meat is worth a try.
From Madrid it it typical 'cocido', hot pot with beef, hen, pork, vegetables and chickpeas. You eat the stock first, in the form of a noodle soup, then the vegetables and chickpeas, and of course the meat. Yummy, bit too hearty for the summer months though. Spanish omelette, very appreciated by my international friends in London for house parties or any occasion. With egg and potatoes (and onion, pepper etc, optional) suitable for vegetarian and wheat/nut-free dieters.
Animal tit bits of many kinds: pork trotters, chorizo, lamb kidneys, Spanish kebabs, jabugo ham, black pudding (morcilla).
Grilled seafood such as langoustines or Dublin bay prawns (cigalas), prawns (gambas), king prawns (langostinos). Most people eat these boiled, but grilling turns them into godly delicacies. Marinated anchovies in vinegar with olive oil and garlic.
Vegetable tapas: 'banderillas' - different pickles on a toothpick, 'patatas bravas'-fried potato cubes with spicey sauce-, olives of many kinds, boiled artichokes with olive oil and garlic, roasted peppers with olive oil and garlic, or just a plate with olive oil and garlic and plenty of crusty bread to dip!

You can't visit Madrid without checking out the Tapas Bars. Wander through Peurta Del Sol after dark and you will find restaurants and bars everywhere. The advantage of the true tapas bars is even if you don't speak the language you can point to whatever takes your fancy.
Main meals are at lunch time in Spain and if you look around most of the restuarants have a menu of the day which is reasonably priced. Dinner is a light meal taken late so be prepared, many of the restaurants don't open until 8.30 - 9pm.
Tapas consists a lot of ham, cheeses, and olives. all finger food. Try being adventurous and ordering a Platos Combinados and just see what turns up. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

I think there are more restaurant per capita in Madrid.. Any tapas is good..
My favorites are: Jamon Serrano, Tortilla, croquetas de Bacalao, Chorizos, Angulas (a type of tiny fish..is pricey..but is esquisite..). And for dessert, try flan or crema catalana (although this dish is more from the catalunya region, i.e. Barcelona). And of course bocadillos... Leave a Comment

A small but great selection of tapas. The tapas here are more sophisticated than the typical tapas bar. I kept coming back and tried most of them. All of them where great. The place is quite small and unless you come quite early is packed with people sitting at the tables, on the bar or standing with a glass of wine or beer. This is a great place to meet new people and have a nice talk over a glass of wine.

La Venencia is simply a sherry tasting tapas bar with, lets say, not so much ambience as character! Not for everyone, the bar has not had a change of decor in many a year but this, I think, just adds to the atmosphere of the place.
They serve a range of sherries straight from wooden barrels accompanied by a few optional tapas dishes. Just give the place a chance and see if its charm wins you over.
Oh, just don't ask to take any photos, the owners don't allow them! Very apologetic about this they were, refusing to take a tip from us saying "no photo no tip" when we came to pay. Theme: LocalAddress: Calle de Echegaray 7Directions: Head south to Plaza de Canalejas from metro station Sevilla. From here take the first left into Carrera de san Jeronimo, then first right.
