I liked the way you presented the video: no over-the-top or dramatic talks and reactions. You didn't order crazy amount of tapas either. Good video.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We are not big fans of drama, our priority here is communicating useful information. And yes, you're absolutely right, a typical mistake by foreigners is to order a huge amount food at the same time. Kind regards!
Bull tail was the cheapest meat available and often given to peasants after a bull fight,now the most expensive cut of meat,fantastic video as usual,muchas gracias Tony.
Thanks for the info!
I will be heading to spain in October 2023 for 2 weeks!!. I am a New Yorker and first time to visit Spain! I discovered your videos and I have been enjoying binging them! I am learning so much thanks to your videos. I find them so informative and organized!! Thank you so much!!
Hello Luanne, great to hear we are being helpful. We are sure you will love Madrid. All the best!
Another excellent presentation Tony!
When I make it to Madrid, I will surely visit your recommended tapas venues. Thank you so much. 📸
Great you liked the video, Joel, all the best!
This is very helpful. I am going to Spain soon and will try out as many of these as I can.
Excellent!
My husband and I have been watching your videos all morning! Great presentation and we appreciate your precision in showing maps and actual names and current prices. (We know € might change) We will visit Spain in January and have 3-4 days each in Madrid, Granada, Sevilla & Valencia. Hope you will also cover Valencia and more information about Sevilla and Granada. I have saved your tapas tour to google maps - our hotel is near the Prado so they have ideal locations for us. Thank you for the great videos!
Thank you, Katherine. Granada, Seville and Valencia are priorities for us (as well as Toledo), we have videos dedicated to them on our Spanish-language channel but due to lack of time we haven't been able to record them in English yet. All the best!
Delicious video 😋‼ I loved everything, the restaurants, the maps, the tapas tips 👏👏👏.
Thanks a bunch, Yara!
Thank you for this video, Tony! As I'm going in Madrid for a week soon I would love more videos of menu del dia and tapas (have already watched your older ones and taken notes to visit them)! I appreciate your care to suggest affordable and of a good quality food places!
Thanks, Rose. It takes many months to produce a video like the one here (we don't live in Madrid so we have to go there and schedule the recordings). For the time being we are not planning new videos on the topic, will be a while till we produce a new one. All the best!
You make great honest videos, so informative, with the maps included. Even giving help on leaving airports. You are the best of all the videos, and there are a bunch of vain, stupid videos out there. You should do tours your a natural. Just want to thank you for your help on my trip coming up at the end of September.
Many thanks for your kind words, Hugh. Delighted to hear we are being of help. All the very best for your incoming trip!
Wonderful video!!! I love it
👍
I used to visit Madrid nearly fifty years ago and absolutely loved it, especially the food. Thank you for bringing back some fond memories. I love your channel and your method of presentation.
Delighted to hear that, all the best!
Hola Tony! I arrived in Madrid on Tuesday, 21/03/23 and I have visited all of the Tapas spots from your video. I Loved all but one of these spots. Thank you so much for helping me plan my trip to Madrid. Muchas gracias.
Thank you, Theo! Which was the place you didn't love? Depending on our reader's feedback, sometimes we reassess our choices. All the best!
Hola, it was El Anciano Rey de Los Vino. But I do not wish to discourage anyone from visiting this restaurant, as it is beautiful inside and their experience may be much better than my experience.
@@theomack4061 thank you, Theo, we've always had positive experiences there, but even the best of bars or restaurants can have a bad day. Hope it was that, a bad day on their side rather than a fall in the quality of the service provided.
Hi Tony, mabuhay! Thanks for your videos. Hope to check it out this May 2024. I'm wondering if I can order in English in tapas bar or I need to write a translator?
This video was wonderful. Now, we know some new places to enjoy tapas when we return next year. Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Another enjoyable video, Tony !!! 👍 Eating at Tapas is an experience, and I agree it’s pricey, specially when you get carried away with your orders!!! Lol 😂
You really make good visuals, specially in showing directions. 👍 👍 👍
Thanks Tony for sharing another exquisite video !!! 👌
Thank you, Jasper. Yes, it's so easy to get carried away ordering tapas! All the best!
Valuable information Tony!... Madrid is next on my list! Thank you 😊
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for this video, super informative, will definitely be checking out your recommendations for Madrid and Barcelona too!
Glad to hear that, Lucille!
Thanks for your videos it will be a great guide for our upcoming trip to Madrid this weekend.👍
Great to hear that, have a great trip!
This video is fantastic! I will definitely be using this info thank you
Great to hear that!
I tried the Patatas Braves and Ensaladilla Rusa (Russian salad) loved it. Also had fried cod and Gazpacho in Toledo. Absolutely wonderful!
Excellent!
Extremely well done video.
Thank you!
Love your video… thanks for the info
👏👏👏 You welcome!
Gracia's Tony, enjoyed your tour. Have had a few of those tapas in past Madrid visits but not at the places you featured. Maybe this year we shall visit Madrid again In August and will enjoy those featured tapas bars.
Thank you, Dave, hope you get the chance to enjoy those tapas in August! Un saludo.
We just remembered that a few of the places on the video might be closed for the annual holidays during the month of August. But most of them should remain opened.
Excelente para mi próximo viaje
¡Qué bien, Jorge!
Excellent video. I discovered you on the video about how to connect between the different terminals in MAD. That was so good that I have visited your website and your CZcams videos. Too bad we only have 2 days in Madrid. On our next trip we will contact your agency. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Delighted to hear that. Bear in mind we are not an agency, we only deal with information.
Great info
👍 Thank you, Gina!
Thanks
I love the variety of tapas here in Murcia. Not expensive here. 😀
As soon as you leave Madrid and Barcelona - with a few exceptions, the price of food drops.
Excelent information. Sir You channel is very very good honest information rare this instagtran time . thank you. Greetings from Finland
Great to hear that, thanks for your kind words (yes, we are the opposite of the Instagram way of doing things). All the best!
lovely videos.
Thank you, Hemant.
I have just recently come across your channel and am enjoying it immensely. Thank you for taking the time to present maps of the places you visit, a very helpful detail. You mentioned in this video that Madrid style patatas bravas are not your favorite. I am curious about regional variations on this popular dish. Do you have another video where you explain in more detail or can you offer a quick description? Thank you for your work on this channel. It is a gem.
Many thanks for your kind words, Robin, and be very welcome to the channel. Our wish list has a video on patatas bravas, but I'm afraid it will take a while before we record it. In other parts of Spain, one of the main ingredientes of the sauce is mayonnaise, which gives a completely different taste to patatas bravas. You can see the look here: instagram.com/p/CbdIEAUoigN/ (it's a photo of ours at Senyor Vermut in Barcelona, one of our all-time favorite patatas bravas). All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you for your reply. I look forward to the eventual Patatas video. But in the mean time, I will enjoy all the others you have created. 😊
I'm very excited I found this video with tapas recommendations! I will be visiting Madrid from USA next month. Is it more typical for locals to do tapas in mid-day? Or as a dinner-time or late night event?
Hello Jason, we have a video where we answer most questions about the tapas culture, including the issue of when we eat tapas, check it out here: czcams.com/video/AddLmFJXKTA/video.html
Very nice video.I like how you describe the tapas and their prices.
👏👏👏
Hi Tony thanks for all your videos very easy to understand. I do have a question. We are a group of 4 people but my mom and dad they don’t drink beer or alcohol. So is it ok we only order tapas dish with 2 drinks and they will drink their own bottle mineral water? Thanks
Hello, they can order water, no problem at all, we talk about it on your video about the whole culture of tapas: czcams.com/video/AddLmFJXKTA/video.html You don't bring your own food or drink to a bar, the waiters will get quite upset.
You can order tap water free…the water in Madrid is fantastic, direct from the snowy mountains. Perfectly safe.
@@alastairjohnson4038 a piece of legislation approved recently makes it compulsory for restaurants to serve tap water for free -on request. It wasn't the case when this video was recorded.
Thank you for another fantastic video and recommendations! I'm genuinely curious about the lack of vegetables (besides potato, padron peppers) on the tapas menu. I watched a few videos about planning Camino de Santiago, and noticed the same theme - the lack of vegetables on the pilgrim menus. In fact, one of them jokingly said, if you spot a salad on the menu ...grab it! Would love to hear a Spanish person's take on this topic. P. S. I'm not vegetarian/vegan.
Thank you, you touch on a sore point indeed. Although there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan restaurants everywhere in Madrid -some of them are really good-, vegetarians need to be extra careful when ordering their tapas. But most "menús del día" always feature a salad which, in a perverse way, might not be strictly vegetarian. Oh, well, that's Spain for you!
La verdad que los bares hacen las tapas que más piden la gente, pero España es muy diversa en cuanto a su gastronomía y si vas Andalucía que es de donde yo vivo, precisamente de Jaén, lo primero que te vas ha encontrar es la tapa gratis por pedirte una bebida y la tapa más común aquí es las habas crudas con aceite de oliva o una pipirrana que consiste en tomate, pimiento verde y rojo, cebolla y huevo cocido todo muy picado con una vinagreta(sal, vinagre y aceite de oliva) y en toda Andalucia casi siempre en lo menu tenemos gazpacho ( zumo de tomate y otras verduras) y el salmorejo(crema de tomate, con pan y año y aceite de oliva) como ves hay más verdura pero es también porque aquí hace más calor que en Galicia y se toma comidas más ligeras, aunque la carne y el pescado también están presentes.
Thanks, Tony, for your very informative & relevant videos. We enjoy them a lot. We are visiting Spain in 2 weeks time. Do all retail and food establishments accept credit card payment? any minimum spend before accepting cards? We like to minimise carrying cash. Thanks in advance
Hi Derrick, the vast majority of bars, shops and restaurants accept credit cards, but as there is no obligation by law to do so, you might very occasionally find the one that does not accept those payments. All the best!
Many thanks, Tony
Hi Tony, what is the best time to have Tapas? Lunch or dinner or in between? Thanks
Hi Jude, we discuss that - and many other details of the tapas culture, on our general video on tapas here: czcams.com/video/AddLmFJXKTA/video.html
If I can’t drink much (even water), Can I just order the tapas then? Also, could you please do one video about public washrooms in general (in Canada, it’s not an issue because we can always use the washrooms at coffee shops, fast food restaurants, department stores, etc without having to buy anything). Thanks
Have a look at this video czcams.com/video/AddLmFJXKTA/video.html where, among other things, we clarify the issue of drinks to be had along tapas. We might do a future video on washrooms, but there is quite a lot of research we need to do first.
Lots of walking between tapas stops to burn the calories! We are staying in your Hostal Orientale. Are there any recommended tapas bars we should try near there? Muchas gracias por su ayuda and videos excellente!
What is the exact address of your accommodation? We cannot find it by its name.
Hi Kay, I don't know why but your reply disappeared, we didn't delete it! The entire tapas tour goes more or less close to your accommodation.
I'm not a big beer drinker, but my husband is. Do you recommend any other drink that is common? would the tinto de verano be good to order at these tapas places? I also can't drink too much. What is a good non-alcoholic alternative, besides water? Thank you.
Wine or tinto de verano are very common orders. "Clara", which is shandy, is also common. Non-alcoholic alternatives are not that great, you can have zero-alcohol beer or a "mosto", which is grape juice.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you so much.
Question: so all Tapas are fried?
Not at all. See our tapas guide: czcams.com/video/AddLmFJXKTA/video.html
Buen vídeo, como siempre.
Algo que me preguntaba últimamente, y que has mencionado en tu vídeo subrepticiamente, es por qué los madrileños insisisten en cometer lo que en mi opinión son dos atrocidades constantes, en dos de los platos más tradicionales de la gastronomía española: en el caso de las bravas, una simple salsa picante roja es la norma, en vez de una salsita mucho más jugosa y con mucha mayor textura (como la que te dan en el Montesol, yatusabeh...); y los bocatas de calamares incluso peor: a palo seco la norma, y si tienes suerte con un sobrecito de mayonesa que pides aparte, si te lo sirven.
¿No es costumbre hacerlo así en la mayor parte de España, y no "a la madrileña"?
Muchas gracias.No queremos despertar ninguna batalla culinario-cultural, pero lo de las bravas en Madrid... en fin, qué te voy a contar. Aquí somos Montesol a muerte. Y sí, ¿calamares a palo seco? ¿Y ese es su bocata icónico?
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal jejejje... Siempre he pensado que si los del Montesol cerraran el garito y se dedicaran sólo a vender la salsa a escala nacional, aparcarían el catamarán en las Seychelles. Pero es que hasta una mayonesa del Mercadona mezclada con Tabasco y un toquecito de pimienta (que ya me he fabricado unas cuantas veces) le da tres vueltas a las "bravas" de Madrid... :/
Y lo del "bocata icónico" tiene doble delito: el primero, el de la sequedad; y el segundo, que el 99% de los garitos que ofrecen "bocata de calamares", no te están dando calamar, sino pota, que es el primo pobre y mucho más barato que el calamar, y que es la razón por la que te ofrecen bocatas a 3.50€ en el corazón más turístico de Madrid; práctica igualmente usada desde "El Brillante" hasta "El calamar bravo"... ;)
Luego ya para otro día lo de los pimientos "de Padrón" marroquíes de la miniatura... :D
Salud!
@@1650million muchos melones deliciosos para abrir pero falta tiempo y aquí en este canal en inglés no sería el mejor lugar. Pero muy sabrosos todos.
We visited your recommended places in early May 2023. Probably one of the most disappointing food experiences in Europe. The only redeeming food item was patatas bravas (fried potatoes) in Las Bravas bar. I can imagine that food recommendations can be tricky and it seems that our taste buds do not agree.
A 100% success would look fake, so we're happy with the one person who has quite a different taste from ours - and definitely entitled to it!
