It was two and a half years ago when I first visited this smart and comfortable restaurant placed in the centre of Madrid. We were first introduced to it thanks to some friends being very fond of opera.
The restaurant is called “La Favorita”, which reminds the famous opera by Donizetti. The restaurant belongs to an Association of Opera Friends and you’re offered modern cuisine from Navarra. Asparagus, red peppers and a wide variety of other vegetables from “La Ribera” along with meat and red tasty wines are their specialities.
But the most appealing thing is the fact that the waiters are young opera singers that you can listen to singing famous arias between dishes.
The musical atmosphere is very nice and it does not disturb you much while you are having dinner. It is particularly romantic for couples.

Sounds great, Silvia! If I'm ever in Madrid, I'll certainly go there. By the way, is it expensive? Do you have to book beforehand?
I wanted to say something about the prices in my article but I haven't been able to remember if it was expensive(that's probably because I did not pay...). I checked the information on the restaurant's web page and I can tell you that the menu during the week is not so much expensive (15 euros)but it does not say anything about the dishes "à la carte" but I'm afraid it'll be more expensive.
If you have the opportunity, visit this restaurant; you will have to book in advance but if you like restaurants, this one is a new experience. It's worthy.
By the way, the restaurant is in Covarrubias St., near "Alonso Martínez" metro's stop.
