Frommer's Review
The Oriente is a cafe-and-restaurant complex, the cafe being one of the most popular in Madrid. From the cafe tables on its terrace, there's a spectacular view of the Palacio Real (Royal Palace) and the Teatro Real. The dining rooms -- Castilian upstairs, French Basque downstairs -- are frequented by royalty and diplomats. Typical of the refined cuisine are vichyssoise, fresh vegetable flan, and many savory meat and fresh-fish offerings. Service is excellent. Most visitors, however, patronize the cafe, trying if possible to get an outdoor table. The cafe is decorated in turn-of-the-20th-century style, with banquettes and regal paneling, as befits its location. Pizza, tapas, and drinks (including Irish, Viennese, Russian, and Jamaican coffees) are served.
