Cafe de Oriente

"A "breathtaking" location "in front of the Royal Palace" distinguishes this Basque cafe where you can "sit outside on a sunny day", dine on "delicious" tapas and "watch Madrid pass by"." Full review

"Directly opposite the Royal Palace and next to the Opera House, there are few more historically situated places to eat in Madrid."

"This famous address opposite the royal palace offers its guests several different atmospheres including a luxurious cafeteria."

"Despite its location, with tables outside on the stunning Plaza de Oriente, the café seems to be as popular with locals as tourists, who are perhaps put off by its air of grandeur." Full review

"Elegant, Parisian-style café with a popular terraza looking across the plaza to the palace."
