Saturday night’s fun

Saturday night: started with a short shopping spree on Fuencarral street, continued with the dinner at the terrace of a very recommendable restaurant, Burger Lobby, located in Plaza del Rey, then we went to our favorite bar, Pouss, where we celebrated the birthday of Jones, our friend and Madrid´s best bartender, and then ended up watching, from a bench, the early morning people walking on Gran Vía boulevard.

Patatus

This is the name of the place you should visit in Madrid if you’re addicted to potatoes (french fries) . They have a large variety of salsas that you can put over your french fries (real potatoes, not like the fake bullshit they serve you on fast-food type restaurants as potatoes), you can order also pork (cerdo) or beef (ternera) steak, scrambled eggs (tortilla), and a lot of other interesting (and tasty) mixtures of meat, onion, garlic and even sea fruits. Everything combined with salsa. You have a nice variety of drinks also (beer, wine, liquor, whiskey, rum). But the best thing at Patatus is the nice atmosphere, friendly stuff and, of course, potatoes… And a nice surprise (for me, at least): they serve Mort Subite, a sweet Belgian beer made of first quality unrefined yellow beer and juice of strawberries or cherries. Mmmm, it’s the only beer I like.
