Facing the Royal Palace with terrace tables overlooking the plaza, this elegant café serves traditional Spanish cuisine in a formal Belle Époque interior. The location makes it prime for pre-opera dinners or post-palace visits, though prices reflect the premium real estate.
Come for coffee and pastries on the terrace rather than a full meal to enjoy the palace views without the steep dinner prices.
