    El menu del dia is really good for really cheap !! You have a starter, main plate and dessert or coffee for 14,5€. The food is fresh and you are full. The staff is kind is better if you can reserve before. Go there

    tomato stuffed with tuna mousse in gazpacho, duck in port wine sauce, octopus carpaccio, and calamari with jalapeño verde salsa
    Jamie H.

    I was walking through puerta del sol and came across this cafe in the corner. I sat down at a table outside and selected a few tapas from the menu with a glass of red wine. there were nearly 20 options and all tapas were about 3-5 euros each. I chose the tomato stuffed with tuna mousse in gazpacho, duck in port wine sauce, octopus carpaccio, and calamari with jalapeño verde salsa. plus two glasses of wine and all for 24 euros total! my favorite was the octopus, sliced very thin and drizzled in olive oil and savory caper olive sauce. I also loved the gazpacho soup itself but the tuna was in a very heavy cream so I could only have a few bites. the duck was a little over cooked and under seated but paired very well with the sauce, the jalapeño verde salsa was sweet and spicy, like a chutney.

    After many failed attempts to find a tapas bar, we stumbled upon Cafe del Principe. Food, beverages & a table on the circle; we'll take it! Our server showed up quickly & we ordered our drinks while we perused the menu. I decided on the jamon croquettes & my husband ordered the plata del dia. My dish was meant to be an appetizer & definitely would have been better if I would have shared it. The ham flavor just became so strong towards the end that I was overwhelmed. My husband had a large bowl of soup and a mixed meat plate. He was quite satisfied with his order and sees why all the tourist books recommend ordering the 'plate of the day' for lunch when traveling abroad. It was a lot of food for small amount of money so he DEFINITELY got his money's worth. The people watching for this corner bistro was fabulous. It was on the corner of two streets that approached a major traffic circle. So between the cars, the cabbies & the pedestrians, we had plenty to entertain us.

    This chocolateria has been in business for over 130 years, so it was probably safe to assume they…read moreknow how to make chocolate and just as essentially, the churros upon which their chocolate clings. Based on the definitive opinions of travel vloggers, this appeared to be the place to get the fabled chocolate con churros. Jamie W and I made our way here through the labyrinth of streets near Puerta del Sol. It was early evening so no surprise there was a queue, but it moved quickly because this historic place was a model of efficiency. It's the type of place where you need to be ready to order the moment you're in front of the hostess. Luckily, we had made mental notes of what to order from one particular vlogger, so we were ready. It only took a minute to secure one of their marble cafe tables. Our order arrived fairly quickly. It consisted of a 2,5€ plate of Churros, six long sticks of chewy, delicious dough. Unlike the Mexican version, it wasn't dusted with sugar because the 3,7€ cup of Hot Chocolate was more than enough (Photo 8). Incredibly rich and only lightly sweetened. The churros might've been enough for a neophyte, but we double-downed with a 2,5€ order of two Porros (Photo 7). Porras are a thicker, doughier version of churros, so of course, they were our favorites because they really held the chocolate with assurance. Even though we went through two cups of hot chocolate, we still had 2,4€ cups of Cafes con Leche to wash it all down (Photo 10). It was an ideal dessert experience because who doesn't love awesome doughnuts? Definitely a must-gorge when in Madrid. FOOD - 5 stars...the motherlode when it comes to chocolate con churros...get the porros AMBIANCE - 4 stars...crowded but historically atmospheric with enough elbow room SERVICE - 4 stars...speedy TOTAL - 5 stars...pretty essential Madrid experience RELATED - Exploring Madrid?

    Churros con Chocolate -- 10/10: literally who am i to judge a churro recipe/spot that has been…read moreserving the same recipe 24/7 since 1894 loool ofc it was phenomenal!!! i fear i will never find another churro as good as this. the chocolate dipping sauce was also so good i wanted to drink it Tucked into an alley in Puerta de Sol is this vintage chocolateria. Stepping into the alley feels like you're entering a vintage postcard. The workers were nice and I had a very pleasant time enjoying my churros and admiring the history and decor inside.
