Casa Dani

21 Best Restaurants in Madrid

"Casa Dani is the kind of no-frills neighborhood bar where napkins litter the floor, cafés con leche (more on coffee in Spain here) come in half-pint glasses, and servers holler orders through the kitchen window. In other words, it's the last place you'd expect to find the city's most exquisite tortilla española: Spanish potato omelet. The kitchen averages 400 a day, cracking 2,000 eggs and frying 1,700 pounds of potatoes in the process. One bite of the still-warm omelet—a holy trinity of oil-poached potatoes, caramelized onions, and oozy egg—and you'll understand why the dish is in such high demand." - Benjamin Kemper
