Madrid has got a lot of differents places to eat. You can go to restaurants, if you want to eat menu. Also, you can go to the bars, if you want to eat Spanish “tapas”.
There are a lot of zones to eat Spanish “tapas”, with differents typical products of Spain. You can eat, for example: squids, andalusian “gazpacho”, iberian cure ham, mixed paella, fried eggs with “chistorra”, toasted farmhouse bread with differents ingredients. Some examples of zones are: “Plaza Mayor”, “Retiro”, “Ventas”, “Sol”, etc.. This zones have different prices, but in general the prices are good, except “Casa Lucio”, “Taberna San Mamés”, “Embassy”,”Taberna Alabardero”, etc.
But if you want to go to the restaurants, you´ll have the same problem, because there are a lot of variety of this. Some of this are well-known, but more expensive, for example: “Asadores” in general (“Donostiarra”, “Txistu”), etc..But also there are a lot of restaurants with good menus and differents types of food, and the prices are cheaper than the other famous restaurants.

I was recently in one restaurant called “El Ingenio de Cervantes” that is in the street Leganitos 10, near of “Plaza de España”. The restaurant is small, but is very cosy. The restaurant decoration is dedicate to Cervantes and his work “Don Quijote”(yo can see in the photo). You have a complete menu and you choose one starter and after the second dish, meat or fish, and you finish with the desserts. The food is typical “manchega”, like: tripes of veal “Madrid style”, white beans, grilled mushrooms, bread crumbs “mancha”., etc..
The owners of the restaurant are very kind and nice, and in general you enjoy a lot because the food is very good and there isn´t too noise, and you can to talk with your partners without problems. I recommend to you to go to this restaurant.
