Arrocería St. James (St. James Rice Restaurant)

In a tweet: Best rices I've tried in Madrid (and maybe in Spain), in a distinguished and pleasant restaurant in the heart of Madrid.

Summary
Concept Comment
Overall Score 9.1
Price per Person 65€. Including 2 beers (3.20€ each), white wine (a nice easy to drink Viñas del Vero Chardonnay -17€, score 9), 2 desserts and 2 peach liquors -to which we were not invited, despite the common tradition, 4€ each). Expensive for being rice (usually cheap), but worth the price.

El Paraguas (The Umbrella)

In a tweet: One of the best restaurants in Madrid. Excellent quality, atmosphere, service, presentation... In an elegant, sophisticated, luxury place. One of my favourites. Not cheap, but it's really worth every visit.

In a tweet: Very good restaurant in an unexpected first floor over a "shabby" bar. Quality is great in most of the dishes. Not cheqp for being in a village nearly 60km from Madrid
