About day dinking, you are right. It is a cultural thing and well accepted socially. I am a spaniard and have worked abroad and I have noticed that drinking a beer or a cup of red wine with your lunch is not very common in other countries and can be seen as something inapropiate. In spain however is kind of common to have a little alcohol in daytime just accompanying your food and not ment to get you drunk. In fact. I think most spaniards are quite moderate in their alcohol consumption in comparision with other european countries, for instace England where people get often really drunk, violent and out of control.

At 9:30 PM we both dropped into bed exhausted, each with 30K steps on our fit bits and bellies bursting. From James' EPIC Madrid Food Tour we hit: 1. El Riojano for chocolate and soletia 2 San Miguel Market (incredible place) for some vermouth on draft, I took the "normal", as there are actualy multiple flavors 3. Casa Revuelta for some bacalao. They also had pork rinds, which I (cuban descent) know as chicharrone and I wanna say the waiter called torresmo? As good as the bacalao. Looking forward to the next 2 weeks for more food and drink as well as hitting the amazing museums within walking distance all over the city. GREAT ADVICE SO FAR JAMES!

December 16th, 2018 Breakfast at Cafe Pans. We are still waking up early and there isn't much open. This is a chain but it's pretty good and there is NO WAY I am going to set foot in a Starbucks while I am in Madrid. Lunch at Docamar with our friends Javier and Ilka, wonderful spanish tapas bar with AMAZING paella. Seven stops from the Callao metro 5 station, getting down at Quintana. Ordered paella mixto and paella negra. Here is where things take an unexpected turn. I left my backpack (laptop and all) at Docamar and it was several hours before I realized. We were already walking up the stairs to our hostel when I stopped cold. We quickly grabbed a cab and I called, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD MY BACKPACK AND HAD STORED IT FOR ME. Unbelievable and admirable honesty. A disaster averted and even MORE respect for this city. Dinner at Cardamomo Tablao Flamenco. Unbelievable show, very good tapas, and a bottle of good Riojo (14.50). Excellent way to end the day.

When you see locals buying carry-out paella you know it's worth a try!

@@spainrevealed You should James, and with the original painting by Velázquez about 15 minutes away in the Prado, as well as featuring on their menu and painted on the walls outside, there is plenty to talk about. The food might not be able to meet the criterea of a typical Top Ten bar, but considering you can see Plaza Santa Ana from here, it is not an over-priced tourist trap and the free tapas are hearty and large - a small plate of pollo is not unusual. The menu features much, much more. This is a local, a friendly place where the lack of English spoken by the bar staff and my limited Spanish do not matter, if you are in the bar you are a friend. It just happens to be right in the centre of Madrid and in the centre of most of my evenings out in the city. See you there in early November if all goes to plan!

James you've outdone yourself yet again. Super interesting on the tortilla texture! When I first started making them, they would come out exactly like that, but I wasn't so happy with the runny interior. So I started stirring the egg, potato and onion mixture when it first hit the pan, for about 20 - 30 secs or so, and as a result it comes out more cooked through, like the ones you can see in the background at Anciano Rey. Never had the mollejas - def need to try next time I'm in Madrid! Thanks for the video!!!!

Thanks for your comment! It’s up to personal preference how you like your tortilla consistency. One trick to help get it like this is to leave the egg and potato mixture soaking for a while before cooking.

We hope to follow in your footsteps and sample all of the many tapas spots and restaurants you have featured in your videos. Viva Espana!

So I went to madrid a month ago and went to a bunch of places off this list. The tortilla place is amazing, as is san Miguel, but hands down the best spot was Casa Tony's. The food here was amazing and I learned some Spanish phrases talking to the bartenders. All of their dishes are great, in particular their chorizo is something to behold. I definitely vouch for the places on this list.

I moved to Madrid ~ 3 weeks ago and have been slowly bringing friends to your recommended places to eat & drink. As it turns out, no surprise here, you guys have great taste. Everything is exactly as you said! I went to El Riojano and embarrassingly drank my cup of chocolate and finished my girlfriend's (she was full) b/c the chocolate was so good! I took a girlfriend to Casa Toni (which happens to be a stone throw away from my flat) and ordered pig's ear and mushrooms. I am a very picky eater and was scared to try pig's ear. The waiter was so animated and friendly. He asked, "which one? The left or the right?" For a second, I thought it was a real question! The waiter kept joking with us and pouring us more wine. He even offered to box up our stuff (usually, I have trouble convincing waiters to give me a to-go-box). He gave us free chupitos too! I was absolutely useless, lying face down on my couch for the next two hours of the afternoon, just waiting for the alcohol to metabolize before I could do anything productive. The prices were so reasonable and the next day, I finished all my pigs ears!
