Café Colón Madrid

Café Colón Madrid is undoubtedly one of the city's top restaurants for carefully prepared food served with a great dollop of creativity. Chef Jesús Barreiro from Galicia has created a traditional menu most notable for its fish and its seven types of rice dishes, from risotto with foie and boletus to paella ciega (a paella in which meat and seafood are deboned and removed from their shells) and arroz de ibéricos (rice with Iberian pork and ham). The restaurant has a large terrace right in the square which is open all year round and has views of the National Library.
