La Pausa: Madrid’s Welcome Feast ( Magnificent Madrid Series 2 )

La Pausa 
Madrid’s Welcome Feast
Magnificent Madrid Series 2 

After a four hour train ride from Caceres, we arrived in Madrid- Atocha 
at 2 PM, and we were all starving as we didn’t had a decent meal aside 
from the early breakfast before checking out of our rented apartment.

When we spotted La Pausa right inside the

Madrid train station, we decided to eat there.

 

La Pausa is a casual, no frills restaurant

and being located in a busy train station,

was also expectedly just as busy,

 

…with lots of people dining bothat the cafeteria or
 fast food section, and the restaurant dining area. 

 

Still, the waiters were attentive and still had a lot

            of time to entertain diners despite being very busy.  

When they served the bread, we were so hungry and we gobbled 
them up fast and they disappeared from our table in a jiffy.

We all had the first taste of Gazpacho.

It was love at first taste for this cold,

refreshing soup that still had a lot of bits

and pieces of raw blended vegetables.

 

My huge plate of Calamares a’ la Romana

was perfectly fried, delightfully chewy and

addicting. It was  already very deliciously that

one would not need a dipping sauce to enjoy it.

My Wife and daughter had Gourmet Burger,

…and being a family of burger lovers we find

these humongous burgers are juicy, tasty  and 

gives you a burger- high pleasure in every bite.

 

My son and a huge slab of

perfectly Grilled Salmon,

 

…and there is no need to describe how delicious it

is, as this post meals photo speaks a thousand words.

 

We has Arroz con Leche for dessert, 

 

...a condensed milk sweetened sticky rice porridge 
sprinkled withcinnamon was a glorious conclusion of our 
first ever true blue Spanish feast in the capital city of Madrid.

La Pausa Restaurant as wonderful

introduction to Madrid’s culinaria.
