The Rancheros, the French toast, the fluffy eggs, the toasts, the list goes on, but hands down the pitchers of mimosas keep me coming back for more. Furthermore, the staff are lovely, and when you get a side order of bacon it's like 6 pieces! Yes. pl...

I may be biased because my partner and I spent our first date here—and I’ve celebrated almost every birthday here since—but that’s part of what makes it amazing. This mercado is perfect for gatherings, whether you’re with a small group or a big one,...
Some of my favorites include La Tentación (Sandra, the owner, is the best!), the Portuguese restaurant, and the Greek/British spot with the gyros—they’re seriously scrumptious. Honestly, I haven’t had anything bad there.
The place is always lively and fun. It’s perfect for a warm summer day, a rainy day… really, any day.

When pancakes are calling, La Desayuneria is a solid spot for an American-style hearty breakfast. My top pick? The chicken and waffles—not quite like my mom’s, but still totally hits the spot!

They've stepped it up with the remodel, but the real draw is the conveyor belt sushi — fast, fun, and pretty good quality. Go early if you can; it gets busy at lunch! There’s a wide variety of rolls, apps (like dumplings and seaweed salad), and hot d...

Lopez y Lopez is hands-down my favorite pizza spot in Madrid — original, flavor-packed, and consistently delicious. I usually go for the Carbonara, Funghi, or Diablo, but honestly, I've shared plenty of other slices with friends and haven’t met a piz...

Did somebody say flambé?! I love sushi and I love fire — and when you combine the two, it creates a union of deliciousness like no other. If you’re craving sushi while in Madrid, definitely make your way to Sibuya. Their roll combinations and fusion ...

Try to eat just one—it’s impossible. The bread is delectable, and the flavors are perfectly paired. I went with a group of friends, and we sliced each sandwich into fourths to try them all. Anything with pesto and mozzarella or truffle sauce will hav...

With a slew of awards under its belt, calling Trattoria Popolare 'delicious' feels like an understatement. From the antipasti plate and meatball starters to four standout pizzas—Diavolo, Pesto, Margherita, and Buffalo—we would’ve licked our plates cl...
