El Viajero

This bustling three-story restaurant is located right on Plaza de la Cebada close to the Rastro market and labyrinthine lanes of Lavapiés. Grilling is the big thing here, with an emphasis on Uruguayan chorizo (a sausage of red peppers and pork), salchichas (sausages), and beef, but the wide-ranging choices also cover salads, pinchitos (shish kabobs), and couscous. Prices are very reasonable and there's a first-rate prix-fixe menu. Lunchtime tends to be packed, and market visitors make it particularly busy on Sundays. On sunny summer days, you can eat on the terrace and enjoy the view.
