Spanish restaurant/wine bar
Looking for a Spanish restaurant or wine bar other than Casa Mono/Bar Jamon. Some place where I can eat on my own at the bar. Wine list is more critical than food menu.
Moderately priced rustic Italian with seating at bar for 1
Will I have trouble walking into Lupa on a Tuesday or Wednesday night without a reservation if I only want to eat at the bar?

I suppose since I'll be flying solo and ordering 2 glasses of wine and I don't do dessert, probably no more thn $65 including tax and tip.

Dining in Madrid and toledo.
Adolfo Munoz is the most celebrated chef in Toledo, and he has a number of restaurants there. I can't recommend the Adolfo Coleccion, for lunch, high enough. Get the tapas tasting menu. Incredible. If you're in any way interested in wine, ask if Javier, Adolfo's son and the wine director for his restaurants, is there. He's a Spanish wine expert and will talk Spanish wine all day.
For dinner, definitely hit Adolfo restaurante. Incredible menu and great looking restaurant space.
One word of warning about Toledo. This time of year, it completely empties out at night once the tour buses leave. Although some will say that is when the city's true charm shows, some people understate how empty it gets. Most restaurants will literally be empty while you eat at night, and we felt it ruined the atmopshere a bit (who wants to dine in an empty restaurant.
Dish with fried octopus and egg at San Miguel market on No Reservations in Madrid
Did anyone else see this dish on the No Reservations episode in Madrid last eyar? I'm trying to figure out where in the market that was served.
Bar or restaurant for Catalan food and drink and to watch FC Barcelona in Madrid
We'll be in Madrid for the Barcelona Arsenal match in March, and we were hoping to find a place to watch the match that features tapas and drinks from that part of the country. Maybe some place that serves Estrella Damn. Any thoughts?
Best place to stay in Penedes in terms of eating and drinking
What about staying overnight in Sant Sadurni d'Anoia? Are there places to eat and sleep?
Wine Bars in Toledo
We''ll be spending a day and a night in Toledo in March, and we're looking for a few nigthlife options. Anyone know of any good wine bars or just bars in general? How is Adolfo Vinoteca? Is it more of a restaurant than a wine bar?
Also, how is La Perdiz? We're thinking of going there for dinner.

Trip K.,
If you had to choose one town/village to stay overnight while driving from Barcelona to Madrid, from a food and wine perspective, what would it be? Thanks again for all your help.
Best place to stay in Penedes in terms of eating and drinking
Anyone know the best town to stay in while visiting Penedes in terms of food, wine bars, bodegas, etc...?
Galician wine bars in Madrid and/or Barcelona
Does anyone know of any places in Barcelona or Madrid that would serve Galician food as well as Galician wines like Ribeira Sacra and Valdeorras? I'm trying to find a place that serves more than just Albarino. I searched the board but did not really find anything.
Places to eat and sleep between Barcelona and Madrid
No. Heading to Madrid from Barcelona.
Places to eat and sleep between Barcelona and Madrid
We're driving from Barcelona to Madrid in March and looking for a few wine town stops in between. Any suggestions as to places worth stopping in to eat? At the moment, we're thinking about Tarragona, Terra Alta region, Casteller,etc... Anyone have any recs for those places or any others that would make sense? What about Logrono? We've been to Haro and as great as it was, we were hoping to avoid any repeats if possible. Thanks.
Rio Mar wine dinner with Gerry Dawes
I can't believe more people aren't talking about this dinner. It looks pretty sick. Plus it doesn't seem like we have many events like in New Orleans.
Rio Mar wine dinner with Gerry Dawes
Has anyone else reserved a spot for this? It's on Thursday September 16 at Rio Mar. Looks like 9 courses of Galician food and wines from Bierzo, Ribeira Sacra, and Valdeorras. Sounds pretty amazing. http://conta.cc/aYuXkB

Restaurant and Bar ideas in Greenwich Village
Staying in Grammercy Park for the weekend. Eating at Casa Mono one night. We're looking for some ideas for casual dinner for the other night. We're also looking for some interesting bars to check out in that neighborhood. Any suggestions?
Also, has anyine been to a wine bar called Cafe Ino? Is it worth checking out?
What about any Spanish tapas/wine bars?

Taller de Tapas in Barcelona
I think that's a little silly. I'm pretty sure most people visiting Spain would always prefer to be in a real, authentic tapas bar. On our first trip to Spain, we ate there on New Year's Day because it was the only open place we could find around lunch time.
Taller de Tapas in Barcelona
What do you all think? That's where I was first introduced to chorizo a la sidra.
Visiting Priorat Wineries?
We've been looking into starting our own small time Spanish wine importing company. From your posts on both Rioja and Priorat, I assume you either work in or have spent a great deal of time in or around the Spanish wine industry. Any insight you could offer would be of great assistance.
Visiting Priorat Wineries?
Trip Klaus,
Do you live in Spain? You seem to have a ton of knowledge about the different regions. Your advice for visiting Rioja was a huge help to us by the way.
Tapas bar in Pamplona with LSU and New Orleans Saints paraphernalia
