Good lunch! In addition to me and my significant other, members Mercedes Pacifica, Tim Hortons Man, and steve robinson attended.

The three (guys) non-Spaniards had the Menú del Día for 9.40 Euros and the two Madrileñas both had paella. (edit: actually, Mercedes had the paella WITH the Menú) The Menú del Día had an amazing number of choices for each course - maybe 15!! I had the Madrileña soup to start. For the second course I chose the garlic chicken with boiled potatoes. For dessert I had the "pudin". All good stuff! I think we shared 2 bottles of white wine.

And the place, "La Puebla", is fine, rustic, large, cool and comfortable - thank goodness. Cloth napkins and table cloths too.

Good conversations too; mainly about our travels, learning foreign languages, the differences/similarities in language and cultures, and how to get tan without being in the sun.

We'll have to do this again sometime. Hope you were all more-or-less satisfied with my restaurant selection.

Saludos, MadridMan

Excellent choice for lunch MadridMan!!! Reasonably priced and large selection of meals, of course I had the gazpcho soup, excellent as usual.
