Restaurant shopping in Madrid

  1. A

    Plaisir Gourmet

    This is not your ordinary delicatessen. With products from every corner of the globe, you’ll find all manner of things that you didn’t know existed (who knew that essence of cotton from Mali could be used in cooking?) or can’t find anywhere else in Madrid. At noon on Saturday, it has tastings of wine and cheese, a nod to the shop’s French owners. In 2008 this stylish place won second prize for Madrid’s best deli.

    Reserva y Cata

    This old-style wine shop stocks an excellent range of local wines, and the knowledgeable staff can help you pick out a great one for your next dinner party or a gift for a friend back home. They specialise in quality Spanish wines that you just don't find in El Corte Inglés and there's often a bottle open so that you can try before you buy.

    Lavinia

    Although we love the intimacy of old-style Spanish wine shops, they can’t match the selection of Spanish and international wines available at Lavinia, which has more than 4500 bottles to choose from. It also organises wine courses, wine tastings and excursions to nearby bodegas (wineries).
