Restaurant recommendation for Madrid
My brother in law has to take his clients in Madrid to an elegant restaurant. Somewhere close to the centre would be ideal. Budget is around 60-70 euros/pp. He says the food should be good, the ambiance understated but elegant and the place must be conducive for relaxed conversations (ie. no loud music etc.). I know that dinner is usually served after nine. However would you know of any such places which start serving dinner around 7:30-8:00?
Could any of you please recommend such a place?

Hi
Try the Restaurante Botin - http://www.restaurantebotinpr.com. The oldest restaurant in the world, its suckling pig is highly recommended. I suggest contacting the restaurant re the early dinner time. In Spain we ate earlier but it was never an issue for the restaurants. It felt weird though being the only diners!

See www.maribelsguides.com - - she addresses the restaurants that start serving dinner so, SO early (on Madrid time).
8 pm in Madrid is a little bit like 4:30 in most of North America.
Best wishes,
Rex

7.30 -8 pm.. I doubt his Madrid clients (if they are Spanish ) will even consider DINNER at that time.. maybe a drink and luxury tapas.
But there ARE some places. Botin may be one of them, but I wouldn't call it elegant or quiet, but there is no loud music, just small rooms, and many times large groups having a very good time.
I ma sure www.maribelsguides.com as mentioned will be able to lead you the right direction.

Thanks a ton to all of you. I am forwarding this thread to my friend. The maribel guides are a gold mine of information. I am almost tempted now to plan a trip to Spain, just to use all the terrific information. I am sure my brother in law will be more than thrilled.
