La Bistroteca Madrid

Madrid's ultimate burger place

"The menu offers many tempting options, but for me,"La Palma" burger was the winner – a masterpiece of flavours that seemed to dance on my palate."

Discovering La Bistroteca was like stumbling upon a hidden treasure in the heart of Madrid. This wasn't just another meal but a journey into burger heaven, where every bite felt like a revelation. When I first stepped in, the warmth of the place enveloped me - a blend of a modern aesthetic with the kind of cosiness that makes you want to stay for hours. 

The menu offers many tempting options, but for me,"La Palma" burger was the winner – a masterpiece of flavours that seemed to dance on my palate. It wasn't just the quality of the ingredients that impressed me but also the artistry with which they were combined. Starting with the ensaladilla rusa de corral and the freshly prepared guacamole right at the table, every dish was a testament to the kitchen's dedication to excellence.

But what truly set La Bistroteca apart was the warmth of the service. The staff treated me like family, making my dining experience not just delicious but genuinely delightful. 

In a city filled with dining choices, La Bistroteca carved out a special place in my heart. It promises a culinary journey filled with new discoveries every time you visit, making it an unforgettable part of my Madrid experience.

Rebel Cafe

Let them eat cake

The apartment block this cafe sits under is an ugly beauty and I love it, not least for the exuberant planters that are an integral part of the building.
