"Angelita’s prime Chueca location in the center of Madrid means the restaurant lacks outdoor space, but it still offers farm-to-table produce, sourcing most of its vegetables and herbs from its garden just outside the city center. The organic ingredients’ natural flavors shine through in Mediterranean dishes like the pisto, made with olive oil, peppers, eggplant, and herbs. Although they don’t own a vineyard, the restaurant still puts the same care into sourcing the wine (there are 70+ wines-by-the-glass and 600+ bottles), and the quality cheese, seafood, and meat used in all of their carefully curated plates, like scallops topped with bone marrow and chimichurri. After dinner, head downstairs to the cocktail bar for speakeasy vibes and finish the night with whatever themed drink is on the menu." - lori zaino
