If you are wondering where to have dinner in Madrid, my map has 182 places to choose from. They are spread across Centro, Chamberí, Salamanca, Chamartín and Retiro, among other neighbourhoods, and most are tagged as Spanish restaurants, though there are some Italian, Peruvian, Japanese and Mexican ones too.
Not all of them are tapas bars, but 21 are tagged as tapas. Names that come to mind include El cisne azul, Sylkar, ALRIGHT, Berria and NATO Robata&tapas bar. This is Rupo's personal map, with no sponsorships: if it's on the map, I liked it.
Picked one by one by Rupo, Google Local Guide level 8. No sponsorships.
My map has 182 places in Madrid, with a good number in Centro, Chamberí and Salamanca. Spanish cooking is the most common tag, though Italian, Peruvian and Japanese options also appear.
There are 21 places tagged as tapas on the map. For example, ALRIGHT and Berria are among the ones I mention when people ask about tapas in the city.
I do, Rupo, a Google Local Guide level 8 and amateur foodie rather than a professional critic. No place is sponsored: if it's on the map, I liked it.
