90 grados (CLOSED)

Three childhood friends and professional athletes own this restaurant that's very close to El Retiro park. Theirs is Mediterranean market-fresh cooking featuring dishes such as rolls filled with goat's cheese with apple cream and raspberry coulis; wild-mushroom risotto with truffle oil; gourmet beef hamburger with rocket, 'raf' tomato and sliced parmesan; tuna tataki with green salad and turnip-celery cream; and rich home-made tarts; among many other options.

Their spacious terrace usually fills up quickly at weekends when they do brunch, and sometimes there's even a manicure session, personal shoppers on hand to meet, and even fashion shows. It's worth going just for the chill ambience and to have a cold drink and a snack.
