Madrid Northern Cuisine | Hidden Gem in the Upscale District

Had a weekend gathering with friends at this northern Madrid spot - honestly didn't expect such quality this far from the center! (Pro tip: you'll definitely need a car to get here) 🍽 Restaurante Divina Dolores 📍 Av. del Monasterio de El Escorial, 10-12, 28049 Madrid Thought it wouldn't be crowded but surprise - reservations are as essential as downtown! We booked for 3:30pm but got seated at 2pm (unlike some strict places in the center that make you wait exactly till reservation time PetFriendlyRestaurant) Our Order: 🍕 Amazing pizzas (huge portions - perfect for 2 people) 🥩 Tomahawk steak was decent though portion felt small (but perfect for us girls) 🍷 Bottle of red wine + 🥃 Exceptional aged Brazilian rum (even my bartender friend from France approved!) 🌹 Some rose-infused red cocktail (forgot the name but delicious!) Bonus: Their bathroom design is Instagram-worthy! 🛁 Vintage bathtub sink and mirror-door that looks like a wardrobe. 💰 Shockingly reasonable for the upscale neighborhood: Just €40pp including TWO rounds of drinks! #WorthTheDrive #WillReturn
