Restaurant Rec's **SPAIN**
(Reposting with "Spain" in the title)
Leaving in less than 2 weeks! I know there are recommendations all over this forum, but I got sick of sifting through all the old messages Lets put them all in one thread.
I like nice restaurants and whole-in-the-walls - as long as the food is good. The reality is I would probably not do more than one or two (if that) wallet busters on the trip - unless someone can convince me otherwise!!!
I will be in Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, Cordoba, Granada, Seville and Ronda. Special points to anyone that knows of a restaurant that will be open late - like after 11:00pm on Christmas Eve (in know that isnt late on a normal night - but this night is different) in Madrid.
Thanx!

These are my favorites in the places you mentioned:
Barcelona--La Dolca Herminia at Magdolenes 27--inexpensive
Cordoba--El Cabillo Rojo--moderate
Ronda--Dona Pepa--moderate
all delicious!
Have a great trip!

Toledo: the best is Adolfo, with a great wine cellar. Expensive.
Middle price choices:
Hierbabuena, La Catedral, Casa Aurelio, in the old city center.
The rest. at Hotel del Cardenal , by the wall.
La Venta de Aires, outside the walls, tourist-oriented.
Cordoba:
El Caballo Rojo (C/. Cardenal Herrero)
El Churrasco (C/. Romero)
both are around the Mezquita-Catedral.
Taverns: Juan Reina (with the best tortilla de patatas); and Lechuga.
Seville:
You can have Tapas anywhere, as are usually good. You'll find many restaurants full of tourists/visitors which are ok, but if you want places more for the locals:
Modesto, C/. Cano y Cueto
Casa Robles, C/. Alvarez Quintero (by the Giralda).
Ronda rests, I wrote in your other post.

I go to restaurants when I am hungry; not because they are the fashionable thing to do; so my advice is probably in your 'hole in the wall' category.
A Vegeterian cousin took me to a Veggie restaurant in Barcelona for Lunch. It's called 'fresco' and it was good, even by a meat-eater like me.
In Madrid, I usually take my midday meal in a Taberna directly across from the Ayuntamiento (City Hall). The cook is Asturiana and one-day a week she may even make a Favada Asturiana. Fixed price: around 12 Euros including wine.
In Sevilla, there is a Meson adjacent to la Maestranza Plaza de Toros: It's name is the same as a nearby Church (Meson de la Cinta?). I recommend it but NOT another restaurant near the Prado de San Sebastian Bus Station.
Sorry, except for Hotel Restaurants you may nave a problem finding an 11:00 PM meal in Madrid on la Noche Buena.

I went here, which is in L'Eixample (Barcelona) and it was great food and a fun scene, and also had a live dancer for entertainment who that night performed Indian dancing: Buda
