Mercado de Maravillas Madrid is the largest and most emblematic multicultural market in the city! I recommend getting some Peruvian or Venezuelan dishes.

The top dishes for me are the pancakes with sweet and savoury fillings (all gluten-free) and the Middle Eastern inspired offerings, especially the falafel.

If you are reading this, it's because you're looking for somewhere authentic and off the tourist trail in Madrid. "La Nueva"will give you that...

"De Vinos" in Madrid isn't one of those 'fake' Spanish bars - no, this one is the real thing. Great place to sample national wines & traditional products.

"Falafelería" in Madrid is owned by La Hummusería, and of course falafel is king here - you can have a sandwich and homemade lemonade for less than 10€!

"Balón Tokio" Madrid is a Japanese restaurant that offers authentic food at a normal price. And the best takoyaki - croquettes with octopus - in Madrid!
