In the heart of Gran Via's street, you As a reader I can find the Food-urela restaurant. This feel tempted street is a very busy place with lots of to visit this well known shops. The big local is in the original restaurant, pent house of a tall glass building from perhaps after where you can enjoy a breath-taking view going of Madrid. Because of that, its interior is shopping. incredibly light. Its decoration is modern with black and white furniture which is combined with a blue light making nights really characteristic. The music is very adequate to the restaurant. It reminds the sound of slow waves and makes the place very comfortable.

Speaking about the food, oysters with a spicy lemon sauce are the house's most I would well-known speciality, a very elaborated definitely like and sophisticated dish. The rest of the to go there menu is based on exotic food with a good accompanied with fruit salads. This is friend. just like having a meal in a paradisiacal island in the Pacific. Be warned, too, that dishes are not very abundant but the service makes you feel in a familiar atmosphere.

Susana Gómez-Randulfe. PB 2007 D e Madrid al Cielo. In the heart of Madrid.

nce you are in front of the entrance of De Madrid al Cielo, Oit seems as if you are going to go into a space ship.

The restaurant's interior seems to be dark but the sweet dim light of the stars in the ceiling creates a futurist and bright atmosphere. It has round windows with silver curtains. The tables, chairs, as well as the rest of the furniture are inspired in the future and they have modern shapes. A soft special music makes you feel like if you were in the space. Waitresses wear tight silver suits. Women have long blue hair while men have short white hair.

You can eat a large variety of dishes. They have from typical Spanish, German and Arabic food as appetizers to Chinese and Italian desserts. When I went there, I ate a nouvelle cuisine dish of some different types of meat with many sauces of different tastes.

My personal experience was weird but funny. Everything was clean and the service was quite nice. I would like to go again.
