Bar Tomate Address: Calle de Fernando El Santo, 26, 28046 Madrid Atmosphere: Warm, mood lighting. It has a ¨library¨feel with bookshelves and lamps made out of book pages, as you can see in the picture above. Trendy, but not overly fancy. I thought they had the music on too loudly, but we were seated under a […]

Restaurants in Madrid: El Patio del Fisgon
El Patio de Fisgon Address: Calle de Don Ramon de la Cruz, 26, 28001 Madrid Atmosphere: The restaurant was quite small, but interesting design and not too crowded. It was hot, though.

Say What 3
I did a few of these ¨Say What¨posts in the beginning of the year, when the things that my students would say would shock me. Say What 1 Say What 2 I´m more used to them now, but this one was too good not to write… While teaching the kids about the future tense using […]

Friday Five: Five Things I Miss About the U.S.- Food Edition
People sometimes ask me if I miss the United States. Actually, people ask me this a lot…especially my students. In all honesty, I don´t particularly miss the United States. I miss my family. I miss some of the people and places that make my life comfortable, but the U.S. as a whole? Not really. I […]
Restaurants in Madrid: Mama Campo
This restaurant wasn´t on my radar, but I ended up here and I´m glad I did! The food was good, the restaurant wasn´t too big or too small, and I enjoyed myself. They also have a ¨cantina¨and ¨tienda¨, but I didn´t see either. Mama Campo Address: Calle de Trafalgar, 22, 28010 Madrid Atmosphere: Clean, bright, open […]

Restaurants in Madrid: Lady Madonna
Lady Madonna Address: Calle Orellana, 6, 28004 Madrid Atmosphere: cozy, warm lights, intimate. Very “clean” feeling, if that makes sense. There is also a terrace, but it was raining when I was there, so not sure what it’s like. Looked nice, though. Type of food: “small plates, big (ish) prices” is how I would describe […]
