Bar Restaurante Botica

The four of us found Tasca La Farmacia at Calle Capitan just a couple of blocks away from the Meliá Madrid hotel on our first day in Spain.

Outstanding place -- very friendly service, great tapas, and wonderful sangria! Very close to the Hotel Melia Castilla.

Though this place isn't particularly vegetarian friendly (even the tortilla had bacalao in it,)! it's beautiful and a place off the beaten tourist path
