Bonjour place de la Madeleine! - Paris

This is a must do in my Paris list. The first thing you'll see at the square is the stunning Madeleine Church, the second most amazing thing in the square is the fine food shops surrounding the Église. Give yourself over the gourmet pleasures! 

It's also a perfect plan if you're in the mood for a picnic along the Seine or in Tuileries because you'll find everything you need. From exclusive Hediard, to modern Fauchon, la Maison de la Truffe and Maille-which offers 30 different flavors of mustard. Take a look at the pictures to see more!

Arzábal - Madrid

Arzábal is my recommendation this week. It's a great tapas and cozy restaurant located next to the Retiro park. It offers great service and great food. The food can be described as just traditional tapas made with high quality ingredients with a twist in their preparation. 

Their menu seems complete and not lacking options, but I end up ordering the same dishes every time I go. I love it anyways! They have two menus, one for the bar and one for the tables, the best option is to order from both regardless on where you're seating and share. For a table (which is the best option for me) make a reservation...it tends to be super crowded on weekend nights. 

The house wine is Terrible, actually really good, red one is a Ribera del Duero and white one is a Verdejo from Rueda. 

Dinner for two, including wine, €70. Enjoy!

Croquetas de boletus...one of their best bites and one of the best boletus croquetas in the city! a perfect dish to start ... Do try the Jamón Ibérico ones as well, they are made with sheep milk. Thelicious
