"Ask local food writers and chefs where to try the city's best wild mushrooms, and they'll invariably point you to El Cisne Azul, an unsuspecting hole-in-the-wall in Chueca. A mycologist's paradise, the restaurant sources prime seasonal mushrooms, from crinkly morels to mustard-yellow chanterelles to toadstool-like amanitas. Try them a la plancha, anointed with nothing more than olive oil and a flick of crunchy salt, or folded into scrambled eggs. Goat cheese and foie gras are optional—and arguably life-changing—add-ons. A selection of cheeses and simple grilled meats rounds out the menu." - Benjamin Kemper
