Famous & delicious BBQ ribs |
Juan Hurtado de Mendoza, 11 Madrid, Madrid 28036 Spain +34 91 345 1639 http://www.alfredos-barbacoa.es/ |
An authentic North American barbecue restaurant that opened as far back as 1981 and serves exactly what you might expect: onion rings, BBQ chicken, salads, hamburgers and choice pork ribs. The decor is pure "Honky Tonk", the music is country and you get to watch music videos while you eat. There's another branch in Calle Lagasca, 5 (+34 91 576 6271). Review © 2007, Wcities |

American Style Hamburgers |
Calle de Juan Hurtado de Mendoza 11 Madrid 28036 Spain +34 91 345 16 39 http://www.alfredos-barbacoa.es/ |
Alfredo, a New Yorker living in Madrid, opened his restaurant back in the early 1980s. Since that time, Alfredo’s Restaurant is proud to prepare the original American hamburger. Succulent Buffalo Wings with an excellent barbecue sauce, cabbage salad, or the marvelous Brooklyn hamburger will make you feel as if you were in the United States. This is an ideal place to go with your friends. Don’t forget to make a reservation, as the dining room tends to fill up quickly. -Angeles Fernandez Review © 2007, Wcities |

Spanish upper-classes in a rarefied atmosphere |
Paseo Pintor Rosales, s/n Madrid 28008 Spain +34 618 69 6438 http://www.balconderosales.com |
Madrid's "yuppies" come here for their celebrations. It is a huge complex close to Parque del Oeste with four separate bars and three sections each offering a different sort of entertainment. First, there is the Tex-Mex restaurant (for groups only) with two sittings. Meals include karaoke and staff get dressed up in party outfits to liven up the atmosphere. Second, there is a cocktail bar, and third, there is a disco that plays pop and rock music. The interior is attractively decorated with Aztec and African motifs. It is best to come in summer to take advantage of the outdoor terraces overlooking Casa de Campo. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Californian nouvelle cuisine |
Calle de las Navas de Tolosa 9 Madrid, Madrid 28013 Spain +34 91 521 3896 http://www.restaurantecornucop... |
A warm, colourful and welcoming restaurant on the main floor of a small 19th-century palace that serves traditional North American dishes and Californian nouvelle cuisine. The house speciality is Stuffed Sirloin of Pork. Other dishes worth trying are the Smoked Cod stuffed with Spinach and Cream Cheese, the Crepes, the Monkfish sautéed with Japanese Mushrooms and the Grilled Tuna. New England Clam Chowder is made fresh and you can even order unusual treats like Marinated Fish from California. The wine list is contemporary, but not too brash and includes reds from Rioja (Sierra de Cantabria) and whites from Lérida (Castel Remei) as well as Fumé Blanc and Hacienda Monasterio.

More Than Just a Restaurant |
C/ Nuncio 19 Madrid 28005 Spain +34 91 366 25 91 http://www.enerestaurante.com/ |
Ene is a restaurant, but also a nice place to meet your friends while taking a good cocktail and, something rather new in Spain, it's a place where you can have brunch on Sundays, lying on a tatami and surrounded by live music thanks to their great DJs. This place is divided in two floors: the first one includes the bar and the second one the restaurant, both decorated in a minimalist, Japanese way. From tapas to a select "a la cart" dishes, their cuisine is a mixture of Mediterranean, Japanese, American and Catalonian influences, and the result is always incredible. -Angeles Fernández Review © 2007, Wcities |

Elegant and Modern Meat |
Calle Espronceda, 34 Madrid 28003 Spain +34 91 395 00 37 http://www.restauranteestik.com/ |
"Estik" is, roughly translated, Spanish for "steak." This restaurant is, not surprisingly, a paradise for meat lovers. The menu offers standards like sirloin steak, Entrecote, and "Tartar Estik." For the more adventurous, there are special selections such as gazelle, zebra, and buffalo. They even feature seafood like lobster or tuna. The service is great and the wine list is diverse. The restaurant is divided in two floors; the retro feel and gray scale tones of their decoration give it a charming atmosphere. -Angeles Fernandez Review © 2007, Wcities |

Classic Tex-Mex |
Magallanes, 1 Madrid, Madrid 28015 Spain +34 91 448 9165 http://www.fostershollywood.es/ |
A good choice for a quick Tex-Mex meal. Try the house speciality, BBQ ribs or a hamburger or a spicy Mexican dish. The desserts are good, the music is good and the waiters are friendly. It is part of the oldest American restaurant chain in Madrid, founded by two Spaniards who returned from a visit to the States with the idea of combining their passions for American food and movies. The first restaurant was an immediate success, a dynamic, fun venue with excellent quality fare. The standards have slowly dropped over the years, but it is still a popular place. It now offers Internet access, as well as food and drink. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Inspiring and creative cuisine |
Calle De Alfonso XII 4 Madrid, Madrid 28014 Spain +34 91 532 4509 http://www.lagamella.com/ |
You'll be served inspired and creative dishes in a pretty dining room decorated with brightly coloured walls and lots of original paintings. Chef Richard Stephen's taste reigns supreme and at the moment it's concentrated on authentic North American favourites like Caesar Salad, hamburgers and cheesecakes mixed with Iberian standards like spicy Chorizo Sausage and Sweet Pepper Pastries. The wine list sticks to Spanish wines with varieties from Rioja, like Marqués de Murrieta or the house wine (Marqués de Legarada) predominant. Review © 2007, Wcities |
