Multiple people have recommended Lamucca as a great restaurant for a fun date night, so last night we gave it a go! There are multiple locations (Plaza Carlos Cambronero, Calle Prado, Calle Almagro, Calle Serrano) [#success], but they only had a last minute opening at Calle Prado. This one is near Anton Martin metro stop […]
Restaurants in Madrid: El Columpio
El Columpio Address: 28010, Calle de Caracas, 10, 28010 Madrid Atmosphere: I LOVED this restaurant for their design.

La Bruta Address: Calle del Pez, 11, 28004 Madrid Atmosphere: Young, modern, dark lighting, open front.

Restaurants in Madrid: Bar Tomate
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 […]

Say What 3

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.

Restaurants in Madrid: Bar Galleta
Oooooh, how I had been wanting to go to Bar Galleta ever since I saw it the first night I went to Amargo. It´s always full with no walk-ins available, so I was one happy camper to be able to check it out last week! And it did not disappoint!! Bar Galleta Address: Corredera Baja de […]
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 […]
