Sula
If you want to catch Salamanca’s happening vibe, head for Sula, a gourmet food store, super-stylish tapas bar and clean-lined restaurant where Quique Dacosta (voted Spain’s best chef in 2005) serves up a range of Mediterranean dishes that you won’t find anywhere else. Design touches added by Amaya Arzuaga help to make this one of Madrid’s coolest spaces. Rumour has it that David Beckham had one of his farewell parties here.

El Alboroque
The new home kitchen of Madrid’s hottest home-grown chef, Andrés Madrigal, is all that you’d expect from a temple of gastronomy, with experiments in flavours and textures that never miss a beat. Dishes like cherry gazpacho, smoked crayfish with cardamom and pear, and rocket and parmesan ice cream are the star turns, but everything’s a revelation. The evening set menu for €55 gives you a range of the chef’s latest experiments. Fine wines and a refined setting in a mid-19th-century palace make it one of Madrid’s best new restaurants.

La Gastroteca de Santiago
Indulge the gastronome in you. The home kitchen of the Córdoba-born chef Juan Carlos Ramos, La Gastroteca de Santiago deploys the freshest ingredients in homage to the finest in traditional Spanish cooking, with experimental twists and international influences along the way – an exemplary combination that rarely misses a beat. A 250-strong wine list, designer space and large servings make this a special choice.

Ojalá
From the people who brought you La Musa, Ojalá is every bit as funky and with a lot more space to enjoy it. With a lime-green colour scheme, zany lighting and a hip, café-style ambience, it’s an extremely cool place to hang out. The sandy floor and cushions downstairs make for a very chilled space.

Ramses Life & Food
Opened in December 2007 and designed by Philippe Starck, Ramses Life & Food is all the rage among Madrid’s trendy, well-to-do set. The decoration is baroque and upmarket kitsch. Although the food gets mixed reviews it’s worth experiencing this place at least once.

Cantina Villahelmy
One wall's rough stone, another bright orange and navy blue, painted with skeletons, creepy-crawlies and a frieze of classical figures. Intimate, funky and popular, the Villahelmy has lots of snacks, excellent salads and a menu that features dishes from couscous to octopus.

Naïa Restaurante
On the lovely Plaza de la Paja, Naïa has real buzz about it, with a cooking laboratory overseen by Carlos López Reyes, delightful modern Spanish food and a chill-out lounge downstairs. The emphasis throughout is on natural ingredients, healthy cooking and exciting tastes.

Color de Especías
Eat in the sensual surroundings of this restaurant with its deep red decor and intimate lighting. Dishes, such as confit of duck in a mango and pear coulis, are truly creative, blending in harmony sweet and sour, salt and vinegar.
