My husband and I are celebrating our 5-year anniversary -
We will be in Madrid the first week of May, and are looking for great restaurants for dinner. We were recommended Capilla de la Bolsa, which looks beautiful but have read on other boards that the service and food are only mediocre. We also would like to experience Madrid as the Madrilenos, not tourists. Please reccomend any restaurants that the locals would go to for special occasions. And, a couple of just other nice restaurants. We would like pig one night, seafood another, and tapas another. I speak Spanish, so that helps, also. We also like a great martini - any good places to find one? When we were in Europe the last time, the only fairly good vodka we saw anywhere was Absolut - is it still the same?
