The 38 Essential Madrid Restaurants

"Markets are evolving in Madrid. In order to attract new, younger clientele — and coax them from supermarkets — many markets have installed gastropubs next to traditional fruit, meat, and dairy stalls. In Mercado de Vallehermoso, for example, you’ll find Tripea, the culinary project of chef Roberto Martínez Foronda. His stall consists of a small open kitchen and a communal table where the chef challenges taste buds through Spanish, Asian, and Latin flavors. In a la carte selections and a perfectly executed tasting menu, Foronda entertains with shared plates filled with excitement, novelty, and hard-hitting flavors." - Paula Móvil
