Why? On the fourth floor of the Escuelas Pias building, Gaudeamus is especially known for its beautiful rooftop terrace with views over Lavapies, but also for its sober chic decor, not to mention the gastronomic offering (including a great selection of black teas). For the atmosphere, the price is not bad, and if you get there just when the cafe opens (around 3 or 3:30 in the afternoon), you can actually just chill out and plunge into a book. There is a bunch of food (eggplant and zucchini, and a slew of salads and sandwiches) that I'd love to try, but there only available after 8pm, when stuff gets cracking. Don't forget to check their site for the latest cultural happenings. cafe light_meals terraza snacks style 40.40763 -3.702948 Sat, 17 Nov 2007 22:22:32 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/2258-gaudeamus-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/2305-ojala-madrid-spain c restaurant light_meals juan_pujol malasaña snacks 40.425534 -3.703945 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 22:36:41 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/2305-ojala-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/2117-manuela-madrid-spain c Not a place in which to be alone, it's always packed with the 20-40 year olds leaning across tables, chatting with close friends and trying to outmaneuver each other at some board game. Try the San Francisco and some nuts at the cozy little bar while you wait for some corner to empty. It's worth it. If there's more than two of you, try the Copa de la Casa, four scoops of different-flavored ice cream. Just don't let it get all soupy. cafe games friends malasaña snacks 40.425774 -3.70382 Sun, 14 Oct 2007 23:18:23 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/2117-manuela-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/1983-delic-madrid-spain c This place seems to figure in every piece of travel lit, with good reason. You could spend a whole day here, with a hot chocolate in the morning, a tostada and some spring rolls for lunch, and something else from their delightful menu later in the evening. They also have a take-away bar, if you're not in the mood to stay, or rather, you can't. Another somewhat overpriced place, but you're there for the ambiance, anyway. cafe cafe centro snacks la_latina 40.412974 -3.711179 Sun, 23 Sep 2007 18:41:51 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1983-delic-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/1473-gourmet-empanadas-argentinas-madrid-spain c Formely called "Todo Empanadas," the "little" empanada place is revamping its look. Gourmet or not though, it's still my favorite place to get a cheese and onion treat. The spinach and bechamel empanada is not too shabby, either. At 1,80-EUR each, you can't go wrong, though you'll surely want to eat a couple more after each delicious bite. If you're really hungry (or are having a party), consider a dozen and get it delivered to your door. Ugh, just looking at their new glossy menu makes my mouth water! (Note: There's also a branch at Pza Cuzco on Calle del Pensamiento and also one in Alcobendas.) cafe casual quevedo budget snacks nonpretentious sandwiches empanadas arapiles to_go chamberí delivery argentinian restaurant 40.4351997375 -3.7114698887 Thu, 31 May 2007 18:44:31 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1473-gourmet-empanadas-argentinas-madrid-spain
