The 38 Essential Madrid Restaurants

"Proprietor Javier Bonet is the mastermind behind this restaurant that pays tribute to great ingredients from local markets. Dishes are served on paper-lined metal trays at a long counter and some high tables. The original location on Calle de Ponzano is still a buzzing dinner destination, and another location of the innovative concept also appears on Virgen de los Peligros near Puerta del Sol. Certain iconic dishes never leave the menu, like the Rolex: egg yolk, pancetta, foie mi cuit, sauternes, and truffle that the server cooks at your table with a kitchen torch,  one of several interactive dishes." - Paula Móvil
