The most frequent topic of conversation in Spain is food, and I love how much the Spanish love Spanish food above all others. Nowadays you can eat food from most parts of the world in Madrid (which is great!) but national dishes still rank number one and a popular place to enjoy some classics is Bodegas Rosell.
Authentic Spanish cuisine is about great ingredients, simply prepared. Think food with bold, honest flavours enjoyed with friends and family. Formal sit-down meals are fine, but on the weekends, the Spanish are happy to prop themselves up at a bar and enjoy plate after plate of shared dishes, accompanied by beer, wine, vermut or sherry.
Do you want to try some Spanish food Spanish style? Bodegas Rosell is the place. Try some stunning traditional dishes such as croquetas, boquerones en vinagre or tortilla de patata here and wash it down with a bottle of something from their extensive wine list. The more people you go with, the better - sharing is such fun, and these portions are sized with that in mind.
