The month of August began, and in the capital of Spain you can still enjoy a list of hospitality establishments that allow us to eat outdoors.
The terraces are those emblematic places of the restaurants where vegetation, good taste and decoration usually merge to offer a pleasant environment to diners and to be able to serve their best creations in a space that is not usually available all year round.
It is becoming more and more usual to see extensions in the premises to be able to offer this space to its clients throughout the year, but the weather, the economic effort sometimes or the administrative impossibility make these places during the hot months the most demanded.
Madrid has a reputation for excellent terraces for lunch or dinner, and proof of this is the selection of establishments that we show you below.
Hundred Keys
Right in the Plaza de Cibeles, this restaurant is located, specifically in the gardens of the Palacio de Linares.
You breathe peace and tranquility in the middle of the city where the vegetation muffles the noise and at the same time gives the visitor a refreshing shade.
Its gastronomic offer ranges from tripe to Madrid, to novel brandada de raya.
You cannot ignore their Croquetas nor its Russian salad as dishes to share, without leaving aside for the most daring with their salted anchovies that will delight diners.
Pleasure and tranquility depending on how it looks, since the visitor will be able to taste excellent cocktails and drinks in the area set up for it, represented and directed by “Le Cabrera”.

Aubergine Bruschetta, with tomato and mozzarella or the charpaccio de bresaola with grilled artichokes are a must, and for lovers of the “natural”, the ttuna artar with citrus, black olives and ice cream de wasabi They give color to this simple gastronomic proposal, but superbly executed.

It must be that by being close to the clouds, the ode to food becomes art. Interesting also the Citronelle stay with free-range chicken and peanut lychee romesco.
To accompany the Goddess minerva that we have in mind, we must not forget the variety of cocktails of “gods” that will help us to finish the evening.
