The Cheese Bar, near Gregorio Marañón subway station, is a bit more than 50€ per person and it's very nice and trendy.

Casino de Madrid . The only thing I m not sure is if you need to be member to dine in or not.

Tandoori Station. Can't fail

Loft39 in Velazquez st. Use El tenedor to get a discount.

Dress a suit for dinner? You're going to feel way out of place in Spain.

It depends on what you want: Mexican, Russian, cheese, vegan, steaks, rice, thai, typical, nice tapas... Tell me and I’ll try to help you. Btw, what’s your budget? A good tip: we have an app called “El Tenedor” in which you can find good discounts (15% to 50%) in a huge variety of restaurants, including nice ones.

Triciclo, Vinoteca Moratín, Tandem. Reserve in advance.

go to El Tenedor and look up some places near Tribunal too. They have small but chic places.

Seasamo. Love it there. Also believe it or not there is a nice steak/cider place in Palacio de Hielo. Also, Restaurante Marisqueria Criado near Alfonso XIII Metro.

So what is your budget? I have some very nice dinners for 50€ a person.

I'm actually thinking on making of this a copypasta, as there's lot of people asking about this: Some of the questions have been replied, but just in case: 1) Barely enough if you live frugal or share a flat (And want to have some spare income, of course). As you want to live alone, good luck with that; rental prices are skyrocketing and I wouldn't count on finding something below the 600€ mark. Utilities are usually on the 45€ mark (electricty/gas if the flat have), 30-40€ for standard internet fiber and telephone landline and the cheapest mobile plans are on the 6-8€ mark. Allocate a bit less than 200€/month for eating and buying stuff for the house, and the cost of transportation (more on this below) and you will be set. 1.1) Take into account that tenants and agencies are usually asking for one month in advance as deposit. I would stay the fuck away from those asking for more than one month (Is legal, but it sucks). 3) Half replied on 1 and 1.1, but I'll add: Most people come from either outside towns (Getafe, Leganés, etc) or live outside the M-30 (A highway that goes more or less around the "center" of Madrid), as prices are cheaper. IIRC, the cheapest neighborhoods are Puente de Vallecas, Villaverde and Carabanchel/Usera. All of them are working class neighborhoods and are quite away from where you are going to work. 3.1) Good news everyone! We have a pretty good public transportation system. If you are going to work here and have some social life, the "ride all you want" ticket will cost you 54.60€/month if you are above 25 years or 20€/month if you are younger. The best thing is that you can use bus, subway, and cercanias, which is a short-distance train network that links towns around Madrid with Madrid itself, and can be used as replacement for the subway (And yeah, Nuevos Ministerios has a huge Cercanías station) for certain paths (i.e. you can go from Atocha to Nuevos Ministerios in half the time it would take you to go in subway). Also, the median commute to work is 50 minutes if you live in the city. 4) Most areas are safe; the worst (from what I've heard) is Villaverde, but Madrid is one of the safest cities on Europe. 5) We drive on the right side of the road and use the International System of units, so don't panic. Also, for some reason our subway is called metro. The hipster zone is Malasaña, the University zone is Argüelles (Also the zone if you enjoy heavy metal, "los bajos de argüelles"), you can also hang out on La Latina and Tribunal. Any given weekend there's a high chance of some kind of concert going on of almost any given genre. We are neutral towards tourists. There's a lot of balconies with spanish flags because catalan independentists.

> I want to live alone and rent a Studio-Apartment with everything included, ideally modern, But I am seeing the prices are like 1.5 k Less than 30 min by foot from Sol, you can find decent studios for around 600, and small 1-bedroom for 700 maybe (I'm talking maybe 30 m2). But they go fast, usually in the same day. The most used website is Idealista.

1- 22K annually is more than enought to live in a more than decent place. Still would recomend you to find something affordable and save money. 2- Using a calculator, you will get 17.5K net annually. Is more than enough, just make sure to complete the IRPF each year (It's only 30 minutes) 3- No, only insanelly rich people and those that inherit the house live ther. Yout can get better deals if you get a house not so near. For example you can go to the zones of Chamartín Hortaleza and still be near your job without paying 1K per month for a full flat. 4- Avoid "rich" and "bussiness zones", also avoid the center as i told you. You will be able to get the public tansport for 60€ per month and not stay too much in the commute. If you have any friend in Madrid that talks perfect spanish, the better. 5- Avoid those "studios" you said if you don't want to pay much , you will pay too much for too little space. They are made for rich youngters with more money than knowledge of anything and want something that looks modern. You'll have to make sacrifices unless you plan to use the studio also as a meeting room. If not, consider cutting corners

As others have said, the key is a cheap neighborhoods near a Cercanias station. [Here is a geographical map of the Cercanias](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a9/45/e7/a945 e74 f6208 c25 f0 d70 dd74 fe0 f0 c91.jpg). In general, the south is less expensive than the north. Also, you might want to stay in the "A" zone, so that your monthly transport cost is less and you are not so far from the center. One station that pops out to me is Villaverde Bajo. Literally 3 stops away (

1. Not great, not awful, you'll be fine if you live frugaly 2. 12.5% i believe? 3. Yeah that is not gonna happen. You either get flatmates or live on the outskirts. 4. Aravaca/Pozuelo área is known for being expensive but I've seen some great deals recently. Tres cantos is quite far away but prices are also quite good if you look around.

If you want to look for apartments or rooms to rent check out fotocasa.com Your salary will be fine for you alone if you are frugal. Not enough to support a family. Madrid is one of the most expensive cities in Spain. It’s beautiful and fun. Have fun!

It’s more than an average salary. If it’s just you, and you want to live close you have to choose either a shared flat, and old flat for yourself or living outside city center. Most flats big or new nearby will eat your salary. You can try living farther but if you live close to a cercanías (train) it will take you really fast to nuevos ministerios. For that kind of annual income you’ll maybe pay like 3000€ in tax. (But don’t quote me on that. There are several calculators that can give you that info or check with a gestor).

Be aware when planning your mensual expanses that you'll probably get your salary with 14 payments (one every month and two extra in June and December). I know I had the surprise when I started here.

You will make ~[1485€ per month](https://cincodias.elpais.com/herramientas/calculadora-sueldo-neto).

If you're working in Nuevos Ministerios then every Cercanias train line goes through the station (except C5, but even then you can change at Atocha). This means you have a huge area where you could live and make it to work quickly and easily. Public transport is quick and cheapin the city, so getting around won't be a problem. Public transport cards covering metro, trains and buses costs 54EUR/m or 20EUR/m if your under 26. Honestly, everywhere in Madrid is pretty safe. And you'll find plenty of decent bars and restaurants in every neighbourhood. I'd recommend coming for a week and exploring the city before deciding on a location.

Check out Ivoryescapes.com for fully furnished and amazing apartments. We recently moved in to one and are absolutely blown away.

Kind of think that salary won't go too far it's above national one but not above Madrid which comes in around 28 k if you want to enjoy city go out often and even not lavish you will struggle.

Shunka (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Shunka/173846589302785), koy shunka, yamadori, yubari.

U shld ask https://www.twitter.com/mdyoungucea since she lives there. Maybe u can meet.

in town: 3notchd brewery, Lampo, Mas Tapas. Little further out: Blue Mtn Brewery (good pizza), King Family Vineyard (wine&views)

Malaspina. Seriously. Go.

Bar Galleta is one I've heard good stuff about. My wife's gone and liked it (she's picky, too). I've been trying to go but it's hard to get a reservation. (would definitely be easier if you are available during the week)

Some suggestions: Ático (restaurant with a view), Ojalá (quirky), La Pescadería (good food), Maricastaña (nice vibe), Flores de Alcachofe (if you like artichokes)

You should check out the Old School Skaterock. It has craft beers and the best burgers in Madrid.

[Cambridge Soho Club](https://www.theeatingplace.com/restaurante-cambridge-soho-club/) is a good recommendation!

Try Carta Marina in Padre Damian. It's pricey but one of the best marisquerías in Madrid!

I´d recommend you to go to [Only You Hotel Atocha or Lux Madrid](https://www.theeatingplace.com/guia-restaurantes-navidad-madrid/)
