Terra Mundi

Pass through the doors of this unpretentious restaurant with its pseudo-rustic, green-and-white decor, and you could be right in the heart of the Galician countryside. Make a beeline for the fish and seafood, but make sure you leave room for the regional dessert, filloas (fruit pancake) (see Terra Mundi).
Terra Mundi

Popular Galician restaurant. Try the fish empanadas (see Terra Mundi).
Thai Gardens

Thai food cooked to perfection.
Tortilla

The famous Spanish omelette is far thicker than other cuisines and is made with potatoes. It is often served as an appetizer.
VIPS

The shop-café (see Chains) is always busy. Everything from ham and eggs to bowls of tacos. Breakfast served until midday.
Viridiana

Creative versions of traditional Spanish recipes and a superb wine list.
Viuda de Vacas

This traditional Madrid taberna has been going for more than 100 years. The decor preserves the original wall tiles and marble-top tables. The homely Castilian fare includes dishes such as rabo de buey (oxtail) (see Viuda de Vacas).
Viuda de Vacas

Taberna with a homely atmosphere and serving Castilian fare (see Viuda de Vacas).
Zalacaín

Not only the best restaurant in Madrid, Zalacaín ranks as one of the leading culinary establishments in Europe and has won many awards including the coveted three Michelin stars. Much of the credit is due to Master Chef Benjamín Urdaín for combining classic French dishes with traditional Basque recipes. The sea bass deserves special praise. Jacket and tie essential for men.
Zara

Just off the Gran Vía, Zara has been a rallying point for Cuban exiles since the 1960s. Caribbean standards like ropa vieja (stewed meat in tomato sauce). Excellent daiquiris.
