Sagaretxe, Madrid

A spectacularly successful Basque restaurant whose specialty dish is the horribly ugly but wonderfully tasty fish called txitxarro. Everything else on the menu is excellent as well, like the Cod Omelette, the Red Pepper Salad with Anchovies, the Grilled Cheese with Raspberry Sauce, the Monkfish cooked with Garlic and the huge chuletón (T-bone steak). There's a good selection of wines on offer in addition to draught cider straight from the barrel. It's a spacious place spread over two floors with a lively bar on the ground floor that serves great tapas. It's normally busy and bustling but you can always make yourself heard if you want to make serious conversation. This two-story restaurant is really spacious, and has an independent bar available for those who are enjoying some tapas.
