  • Elegant café with velvet seats, stucco ceiling and summer terrace.

  • A good place to try classics such as the dessert bizcocho borracho (“cross-eyed drunk” – sponge cake soaked in wine and syrup).

  • Head here after a night on the town for a traditional breakfast of chocolate con churros .

  • This neighbourhood bar has a good choice of seafood tapas . Mahou beer originally came from the factory next door.

  • Signature Mexican dishes include “devil salad” with prawns, mango, coriander and chicken in hot chocolate sauce (mole ).

  • The international wine list runs to more than 200 varieties. Speciality snacks include habas (salted broad beans) served with jamón Ibérico .

  • La Bola has an original 19th-century dining room. The speciality is cocido , served in earthenware pots (pucheros ).

  • One of a chain of steak houses specializing in grilled beef straight from the pampas. Can be noisy.

  • The name is a throw back to the days when cafés were hot-beds of political skulduggery. Today’s would-be plotters feast on meaty fare such as chorizo (spicy sausage) cooked in wine.

  • Snack on jamón Ibérico or croquetas in the tapas bar or eat Basque food in the adjoining restaurant.
