21 Best Restaurants in Madrid

"Stick to old-school Spanish restaurants in Madrid, and you're bound to tire of the stodgy stews, fried seafood, and umpteen pork preparations that keep the siesta tradition alive. Fayer and Argentine-Israeli menu are the antidotes to that heavy eating. If this is your first Argentine-Israeli meal, you're in for a treat. Whet your appetite with hot, za'atar-dusted pita dipped into beet hummus or baba ghanouj, enriched with top-shelf Israeli tahini. Or mix and match cuisines by throwing a couple of juicy Argentine beef empanadas into the mezze spread." - Benjamin Kemper
