The Restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid

"The Ritts restaurant boasts an elegant dining room and pleasant summer terrace"

"The famous and pricey restaurant, Goya, serves a Sunday brunch feast from 7 am to 3:30 pm that's accompanied by the soothing strains of harp music; from February to May, you can enjoy chamber music during weekend tea and supper"

"In terms of today's clientele, the Ritz has shaken off its slightly stuffy image and now welcomes celebs it once shunned; however, guests must still adhere to a strict dress code in the restaurant"

" Goya Restaurant & Terrace serves an enticing blend of classic Spanish favorites and creative nouvelle cuisine"

"The hotel offers an ornate banquet hall, classic style terrace and garden, a gym, sauna, bars and a world-class restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner"

"The Goya Restaurant here is the successor to the original established with the aid of Auguste Escoffier"

"The current Goya Restaurant is still considered one of the city’s best, despite its somewhat more Old World style than contemporary Spain is used to, and its leafy garden terrace hosts a parade of international glitterati"

"Goya is the hotel’s flagship gourmet restaurant, and it serves a lavish breakfast, but when the weather allows, eating tapas alfresco in the Terrace restaurant’s rattan armchairs is a must"

"The grand lobby, champagne bar, English-style tea room, and excellent Basque restaurant are all decked out with the grand flourishes of the early 20th century"

"A pianist plays in the lounge and a harpist in the refined restaurant, which beams with exquisite china, glass and silverware and abounds with flowers and plants"
