Three Restaurants in Madrid, Spain for Your Dining Pleasure

Madrid, Spain, is an international cosmopolitan city, so it has many restaurants for dining in. Not only that, dining in Madrid means a wide variety of international cuisine that's readily available. Here are three Madrid restaurants that offer travelers and locals alike wonderful places for dining:


Mediterraneo is rice dish heaven!

This chain of restaurants is located around several spots in Madrid, but I want to feature the one I ate at, which is centrally located. They offer up some great Spanish paella dishes, and many selections of dry and stewed rice entrees. Mediterraneo also serves up some tasty salads and dishes that contain chicken, meat, and fish.

For appetizers, the Chopitos (Calamari) can't be beat. It's very crunchy and tasty. Try the Tuna and Tomato Salad (de Tomate y Ventresca) before the main course. It tastes especially good when you put some olive oil on it! As for the rice dishes, I feasted on the Paella Mixta Ciega (filled with dry rice, chicken, and shrimp). The rice was cooked just right and had a really excellent flavor.

End your Madrid dining experience here with a coffee and a Tarta de Queso con Arandanos; that is, the blueberry cheesecake!

The only drawback I found at this restaurant is that the dining chairs are very hard. They could use some cushions!

Mediterraneo: Calle Zurbano, 45. Madrid, Spain. Telephone: (34) 91-702-21-86. Nearest Madrid Metro subway stop is Ruben Dario.
