Best Restaurants in Centro

434 restaurants analyzed · Madrid

Centro is the heart of Madrid's dining identity, where tapas bars on Calle Cava Baja give way to plaza terraces in Sol and sit-down restaurants ranging from affordable to special. Mediterranean, European, and Spanish cooking anchor the scene, but the barrio draws enough international traffic to support an unusually broad range of cuisines at prices that land somewhere in the middle. The challenge here is separating the tourist-facing spots from the places locals actually return to - the latter are worth the extra research.
