WANT TO GO

It’s difficult to find time to eat everywhere and keep up with all of the openings. Here are all my recommendations for restaurants and bars that I want to visit in Madrid. I have added their Google rating and why I want to go, please keep in mind this rating may change.

How to use this guide: You can search based on any filter: cuisine type, budget, area, dish, outdoor or group. If the Spanish restaurant is also regional, I have made a note of it. I hope you enjoy these places as much as I have!
