The 34 Best Restaurants in Madrid, Spain | Eater

"Owners Carmen Aldi, José Certruchas, and Jesús Encinas decided to leave the city’s high-end cuisine circuit to open La Llorería, where they play by their own rules. The trio has found ways to serve outstanding dishes without the gouging price tags or corseted dress codes of the fine dining scene. At their small, casual restaurant in the Malasaña neighborhood, they center the action around a bar, some small tables, and a big chalkboard of daily specials. Dishes such as tomato with miso or cauliflower with bacon and squid have managed to inspire crowds, making it impossible to eat here without a proper reservation. Best for: Creating your own tasting menu experience by ordering all the dishes on offer and sharing with your dining companions." - Paula Móvil
