Perfect for pintxos for an early dinner: Restaurant Pintxame (30. November 2019)

Given the Pintxo place I wanted to go was closed (i.e., their kitchen wouldn’t open again until 8pm) and I was hungry anyway, I decided to roam the streets to find a place which offers pintxos at about 6pm and I randomly  found the Pintxame which looked super appealing as it was a tiny place, […]

Decent and high-quality breakfast selection: Restaurant Círculo Mercantil @ Círculo Gran Vía, Autograph Collection (30. November 2019)

The breakfast buffet is not overly extensive but offers everything you need for a solid breakfast ranging from bread … … to cold cuts and smoked salmon … … a variety of fruits … … some yogurt … … and cereals. And of course you also get some fruit juices. As said, the selection isn’t […]

Recommended by a local, visited by locals only: Restaurant Membibre (10. February 2019)

Recommended by a local, visited by locals only: Restaurant Membibre (10. February 2019)

The Membibre was recommended to me by a local – and it was a great recommendation. The key is to book a table in advance – the place was absolutely crowded and whenever a table would empty, it would be filled again within minutes. Once you’re seated – and even before you’ve placed your order […]

Quite touristic yet with great dishes: Restaurant Taberna Mas Al Sur (9. February 2019)

Quite touristic yet with great dishes: Restaurant Taberna Mas Al Sur (9. February 2019)

Apparently, the Taberna Mas al Sur has a big brother called ‘Taberna al Sur’ – quite a funny choice of names if you ask me but it didn’t keep us from going there. The place is not that huge but it somehow doesn’t matter as the waiter compensates for all the non-comfort with his care […]

Always worth a visit when you’re in Madrid: El Mercado de San Miguel (8. February 2019)

Always worth a visit when you’re in Madrid: El Mercado de San Miguel (8. February 2019)

Somehow I end up in the El Mercado de San Miguel every time I visit Madrid – and the reason why is easy! The place is just so lively, so full of joy and ultimately also full of tasty places with tremendous food. Of course, as every time, I had to go for a plate […]

Amazing atmosphere and great seafood: Restaurant Glass Mar by Ángel León (12. May 2018)

I walked by the Restaurant Glass Mar by Ángel León a couple of times before I finally decided to go in. And it was generally a good idea although the very first course didn’t persuade me. The “mollete de atún (dos Bocados)” (EUR 5.50 each) was a bit of a disappointment really as it the […]

Amazing dishes worth the 45+ minutes queue: Restaurant StreetXO (12. May 2018)

As the place I originally wanted to go, Boton y Fogon de Sacha, was fully booked, I checked my list of recommendations and the StreetXO was somehow on the top of it. It is the second restaurant of a Michelin starred chef with three Michelin stars. The difference is though that you can’t book a […]

Lovely breakfast buffet with some waiters having an attitude: Restaurant La Rotonda @ The Westin Palace Madrid (12. May 2018)

Lovely breakfast buffet with some waiters having an attitude: Restaurant La Rotonda @ The Westin Palace Madrid (12. May 2018)

The breakfast selection at the La Rotonda is absolutely good. The only element which isn’t is the fact that it is absolutely packed. All the tables – and there are quite a few – seem to be full at all times which is good for the hotel but it isn’t so much for the customers […]
