A great meal
"Santa Rita Brasería" in Madrid is a restaurant with character: it's exquisite and cosy at the same time. I love their menus and their smoked specialties.

Melos
Biggest sandwich in Madrid
"Melos" can trick you from the outside, but you would miss the biggest sandwich in Madrid... This small restaurant keeps it simple but with great quality.
