The 34 Best Restaurants in Madrid, Spain | Eater

"Going into this quaint casa de comidas is like taking a trip back in time. First opened in 1890 as a shop selling wines and liquors, it eventually allowed customers to enjoy their beverages on-site with a proper meal in the ’80s. Throughout its long history, the restaurant has served as a meeting place for left-wing organizers (earning it the nickname El Comunista), but also a gathering spot for guitar lovers, since the current owner’s great uncle used to play in the back room. Today, bohemians and artists meet here at midday to enjoy dishes and stews that are hard to find in modern menus, such as the migas with grapes and egg, squid in its ink with rice, or rabbit with tomato sauce. Know before you go: Cash only." - Paula Móvil
