Eating in any big city is hard. One, because there are thousands of options—I mean, talk about choice overload. Two, in popular travel destination cities, not all of the options are worth a visit (many are expensive and just average—a terrifying combination).
And if you don’t plan where you’ll eat on your trip, it’s highly likely you’ll end up wasting your money for food that’s just “okay.” Or worse, you’ll end up surrounded by Americans at a tourist trap restaurant.
But that’s NOT going to happen to you, my fellow foodie. Not in Madrid.
Because after almost a dozen trips to Madrid, I’ve compiled a complete two-day foodie itinerary so you can make every bite 100% worth the trip. Each of these restaurants was carefully selected and taste-tested by yours truly.
