Artemisa, Madrid

This vegetarian restaurant has been in business forever and it remains popular because of its central location and low prices.

Try the aubergines and spinach in particular. To drink, you can choose from a range of fresh natural fruit juices and wines from Ribera, Rioja, Valdepeñas and Penedes. Its simple interior decor is nothing more than white walls and a few plants placed here and there. It's a non-smoking restaurant and there's another branch on Calle Tres Cruces,4 (+34 91 521 8721).
