"Madrid has establishments where food gets the sci-fi treatment—a centrifuged this, a spherified that—yet a dwindling number of restaurants offering Old World European luxuries like foie gras, caviar, and roasted rack of lamb. Enter Saddle, a restaurant so unabashedly classic (bread carts! leatherback menus! ambient jazz!) that it feels, ironically, fresh. This is an ambitious restaurant with a laser-focused kitchen that understands nostalgia as well as it does service and culinary technique." - Benjamin Kemper
