Courtesy of designer Philippe Starck, Ramses is the latest bar/restaurant/club on the Madrid social scene. Its minimalist Champagne bar introduces American-style cocktail culture (think Cosmopolitans and dirty martinis) to a photo-spread-worthy clientele, while the neighboring petit dining space serves up luxurious oysters and caviar to a lively after work and late-night crowd. A chic dance club occupies the basement, but it's the lavishly decorated second floor bistro, serving dishes like candied loin of cod with tripe stew, that has set well-heeled Spaniards swooning. If money is no object, treat yourself (and up to nine friends) to a meal in the private dining room, where a dedicated chef caters to your every gastronomical whim.
