5. Prada a Tope

Restaurant, Tapas

This charming restaurant, which offers traditional Madrid dishes, is inspired by the typical taverns of Castilla-Leon. The restaurant recreates a unique rural atmosphere with exposed wooden beams, tiled floors and stone columns. Prada a Tope‘s menu features smoked beef and black pudding, and boiled pork knuckle with potato, savoy cabbage and vegetable sofrito (a sauce with garlic, onion, paprika, tomatoes and peppers).

6. Los Gatos

Bar, Pub Grub

With menus that are easy to understand and eclectic old-world decor, from bullfighting memorabilia to a fresco of skeletons at the bar, Los Gatos is a popular choice down at the southern end of Huertas. The most popular orders here are the canapés (tapas on toast), which are rather delicious. This place is a great choice for a quick snack on the go or for a light bite with a couple of beers.

7. Cervecería Alemana

Cafe, Bar, Snack Bar, Spanish

This bar opened in 1904 and was one of Ernest Hemingway’s haunts. If you’ve only got time to stop at one bar on Plaza de Santa Ana, let it be this classic cervecería, renowned for its cold beers and a wide selection of Spanish beers that are hard to find elsewhere. If you can, it’s best to get a table outside in the plaza in the evening, as that’s the best time to visit Cervecería Alemana. Make sure you order some tapas during your visit.

From the moment the staff welcomes you inside Lizarran, you know you’re in good hands with their attentive service. No matter what time you visit the restaurant, they will always have something special prepared for you. Their kebabs come highly recommended as they are made with premium Spanish ingredients.

9. Las Bravas

Las Bravas

Right in the center of the city, Las Bravas is the ideal place to have some refreshments after visiting the old quarter or the Barrio de las Letras – the so-called Writers Quarter. Enjoy some cañas in a street with the greatest, and most vibrant atmosphere in Madrid, only a few meters away from the Puerta del Sol.
