Café de Oriente

Café-restaurant with fantastic views

Madrid, Madrid 28013
Spain
+34 (0)91 541 3974 / +34 (0)91 547 1564

It is much more than a café. In fact, this is a restaurant that is good enough to have been awarded a Michelin star for its creative and modern style of cooking. The house specials are cod prepared in a variety of ways and duck liver paté. There is a gourmet menu and an excellent wine cellar. The restaurant is built on top of the ruins of an old convent close to the Teatro Real, and tends to fill up after performances and on Sunday afternoons when the outdoor terrace is very popular.

Casa Mingo

Famous for its roast chicken & pies Paseo de la Florida, 2
Near Glorieta de San Vicente
Madrid, Madrid 28008
Spain
+34 91 547 7918 With its totally rustic interior decor, this popular restaurant is reminiscent of traditional Asturian cider bars in northern Spain. The menu is sensibly limited to just a few tried and tested favourites that everyone likes, and they are produced with care and attention. Try the succulent roast chicken, the crusty empanadas (meat and fish pies), the hearty Spanish omelette or the spicy chorizo sausage cooked in cider. To drink, there is just fresh cider. Prices are reasonable and it attracts lots of ordinary people who don't want to spend too much, as well as a fair sprinkling of tourists who have read or heard about the place. Head for the large outdoor terrace in summertime.
