My suggestion is Restaurante Teatriz at 15 Hermosilla St.
This pretty restaurant (40-60 euro) is a former theatre decorated by a french designer.
Other pretty and typical restaurant is "Casa Alberto" in calle Hermosilla, 18. It's famous the "Rabo de toro" (stewed oxtail). Tapas are available at the counter.
Tapas bars:
* At calle Jesús: "Los Gatos", "La Fábrica", "Cervantes"
* At calle Cava Baja: "Txakolí", "Casa Lucas", "Taberna Tempranillo"
* At calle Victoria: "Alhambra", "La Casa del Abuelo"
* At Plaza de Santa Ana: "Cervecería Alemana", "La Moderna"
...

I really liked El Cenador del Prado, near Plaza de Santa Ana at calle Prado 4 (tel. 91 429 15 61).

every time i am in madrid i make a point of dtopping here, any time of day.

this is reasonable priced for that shopping area day. near u.s. embassy, calle serrrano.

www.elseptimo.com

they are open for breakfast lunch and dinner.

fun menu, and i can´t imagine you won´t be happy.

they have interesting salads, too. i had a dessert that has something to do with mango.. it was superb.

also.. fabulous birthday dinner at el casino de madrid. unbelievable building, but you will have to be careful to stay within your budget there, but it would be memorable.

the venison in cream sauce at l'Abadia is great. (venado en salsa)

another nice atmosphere to include as you walk around and very near the mentioned "l'Abadia" is a place ( a restored palatial home now restaurant) called "Casón de los Lopez de Toledo". i always add this place for at least a rest stop.
the upstairs dining room is very well appointed and the food we had was excellent.

Hostal del Cardenal is a great suggestion. outdoor summer dining is unforgettable.
