La Casa del Abuelo or Grandpa's place was founded in 1906. Prawns is the speciality of the house: a la plancha (grilled in their shells) or al ajillo (fried in oil and garlic). I cannot begin to describe how tasty they are.

There are no seats, of course. You walk in, order, eat and leave for another bar. All within 10 minutes or so. Exactly how a good tapas bar should be.

If you're in Madrid, this place is a must.

Byron replaced Jo Shmo's a couple of months ago.

"Proper burgers" is the only main course on the menu accompanied by the usual side dishes such as onion rings, French fries, coleslaw, etc.

Food quality is great. In fact, I can assure you, if you like burgers, this is the place to go in Guildford (the other options are TGI and some other place I can't remember its name!!!).

Service is friendly and quick.

If you had been to Jo Shmo's before, the place still looks more or less the same, only with brighter colours.

Prices are surprisingly low: Around £30 for two (including appetisers, drinks and side dishes)

La Tosta - review by Jimbo

Phone: +34-915-226881

Tags: lively, toast, sangria, cheap eat, spanish, tapas

La Tosta is famous for it's toasts, obviously! Menu is long and incredibly tempting. Sangria is delicious and, again, incredibly tempting (Sangria pitchers are IN-YOUR-FACE as you walk into the restaurant; see the photo).

Service is super fast, unlike any other Spanish restaurant, and no matter how crowded the place is, you won't have to wait any more than 5 minutes for your order to arrive.

And prices... Good God, where do I begin! If I told you, you'd feel guilty eating out in London.

All in all, when in Madrid, do not bother with the fancy looking tourist traps. Go to La Tosta instead!
