The 34 Best Restaurants in Madrid, Spain | Eater
"Arguably Madrid’s most beautiful pastry shop, La Duquesita boasts a lot of history too. With more than a hundred years of experience, the shop sets the benchmark for Madrid’s traditional baked goods. After the business closed down in 2015, pastry chef Oriol Balaguer took ownership and restored (and expanded) the space. Order the chocolate palmera, one of the city’s best croissants, or the Christmas panettone. Must-try dish: The most popular bite is the palmera de chocolate, a crunchy puff pastry bathed in a bitter, 70-percent chocolate." - Paula Móvil
