This restaurant is practically bursting with history. Since 1839 it has been serving up French classics, infused with some Spanish influences. Iconic to Madrid, this place is a must-try. 

Hands down the best nougat shop in Madrid. The desserts and cakes from Casa Mira are a favourite from locals, which is how you now it's good. 

This 1930s tavern serves 5 types of sherry with rustic tapas. No pictures allowed at this authentically rustic bar. 

Writer Lope de Vega's house and studio is well worth the visit. The museum houses paintings, furniture, and belongings, all of which tell the story of De Vegas' life.
