Here I am returning to the blogging world, and for good this time! And what makes a better return than telling you guys all the best places to ignore your diet and eat the best food you can get your hands on? Nothing, the answer is nothing.
I started off my year in sunny Madrid, a city where you can wander through and eat tapas and sip sangria to your hearts desire. During my stay here I can promise you, I was not short for choice when it came to deciding what I wanted to dive right into.
I'm not going to lie, I ate a mountain load of food, so this will have to be made into a two part series (sorry for my major appetite guys!). So here it is, part one of the best food spots I found in Madrid!
Tapa Tapa had a wide variety of dishes to choose from ranging from fish to meat and even vegetarian options. The food was tasty, the meatballs melt in your mouth, the potatoes and calamari are nice and crisp, and the anchovies were mouthwatering (the perfect dish to cut across all that fried food!). The food came out quickly and hot, and was in a central location which makes it easy for people like me (you know, those ones with no sense of direction) to find the restaurant.

So who's a sucker for seafood and platters? That's right, I am. And maybe you will be too after I explain to you just how good this tapas bar was. Just around the corner from Alhambra Bar, standing in this spot is what I would call tradition at its finest - very delicious and incredibly affordable food, with some of the nicest staff despite the language barrier - Casa Toni has little to no competition in my eyes. The meat platter had an array of different things to sample, and the calamari was fresh and lightly battered. This is a place that I can tell you, you should not and can not miss. If you walk by and it's looking a bit full, worry not, they have an entire second floor full of tables waiting to be filled up with your food orders!
