Looking for places to eat in Madrid can be an overwhelming task. In a city so rich in traditional food culture, there is as many unique dishes to try as there are places to try them. The city square Puerta del Sol contains a marker known as Kilometre Zero, where all six of Spain’s national roads lead to, so it’s no surprise that Madrid’s food scene has became a combination of styles and flavours from across the country. Add to this all of the different neighbourhoods such as La Latina or Malasaña and their unique styles of dining and you have a complex food culture. Some dishes in the city are known all over the world, whereas others remain a secret only known to locals who know where to look. This Madrid food guide will try to cover all bases and give you a selection of what food to try whilst you are in the city, as well as where to eat in Madrid.th
