Madrid: Where to Eat

Here I have decided to make a list of what I recommend in terms of food and drinks in Madrid, Spain. The list was donde specifically for Sebastian and Cristina therefore... if you have a good taste in food, are a bit picky about getting always tasty dishes and don't want to be eating meat ALL of the time, this list can fit your needs.

Before anything - I have to thank Cristina for introducing me to this format of creating lists - it's easy yet very descriptive. I have taken out her key component (because that is hers to use only).

Enjoy!
