After admiring the paintings of Valazquez, Goya and more Spanish greats at the Prado Museum, or the eclectic private European art collection at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza head over to Al Natural for dinner. From the outside the establishment looks like any restaurant, but inside it’s breathtaking. Brick arches, dim lighting, stained glass windows, and natural colors mix together to create a romantic and relaxing ambiance. The menu is simple but the flavors are anything but that: Croquetas with mushroom and asparagus, tarta de setas y espinacas (mushroom and spinach tart), ensalada templada con queso de cabra (goat cheese salad), escalpe de seitan a la pimienta verde o al roquefort (seitan with green peppers and Roquefort), and let’s not forget the incredibly rich tarta de requesón con chocolate (chocolate cheese cake). Yum! For over fifteen years Al Natural has drawn a diverse crowd, leading to an addition of vegan dishes and four non-vegetarian plates on the menu. Although most restaurants offer a menu del día, Al Natural offers a menu del día and a menu nocturna from Monday – Thursday. If you’re in town for New Years Eve, ring in the New Year at Al Natural. But make sure to reserve a seat ahead of time; the restaurant fills up fast.
