Madrid- La Rincon Asturias near Atocha station and Taberna El Sur near Prado

I am a trash panda who enjoys eating at McDonalds, so I don't have any specific restaurant recommendations (except Llhardy...love me some vichyssoise from Llhardy in Madrid)

In Seville, a very typical breakfast is toast with olive oil, tomato (triturado (crushed tomato) or "rodajas" sliced) and jamon serrano with coffee with milk and a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. You should try it! Any bar/restaurant will offer it between the hours of say, 8 am and noon.

For one slice of toast (it's quite big), you ask for "una media con aceite, tomate, y jamón serrano" and "un cafe con leche sin lactosa" (if you want lactose free milk) and "un zumo de naranja natural" (you say natural so you get the fresh-squeezed kind.)

Most tourist paella is microwave paella. To get a good paella, you either have to order it in advance from a paella restaurant (usually 24 hours notice, you tell them what you want in your paella and then show up at the appointed hour to eat it), or you go to a restaurant that has "arroz" on the menu and you hope you can get a plate of the big communal paella before they run out. If they bring out the paella in less than 30 minutes or so...or you are eating paella in the evening...you are eating microwave paella.

Barcelona spring 2024 our favorite restaurant was La Pepita. Food was fantastic. Tons of locals.

Anyone have restaurant recommendations in Barcelona, Madrid and Seville? Open to anything as long as it’s good!
