The most famous broken eggs in Madrid
1. STARRY: CASA LUCIO
If there is a classic where to eat eggs in Madrid, that is the restaurant of Pike House (Cava Baja, 30), in the La Latina neighborhood. It is quite an institution when we talk about eggs, a place with tradition and a lot of tradition (they have been making eggs since 1974). **Here they are served fried and smashed on a bed of French fries (also with Iberian ham) **. The secret of its success is the quality of the raw material: they are fresh eggs from hens raised outdoors. Of course, its fame means that the prices of this traditional tavern are not cheap.
** 2. IN TORTILLA: FISH TORTILLA **
Another good way to eat eggs is in an omelet. And for this we visit Tortilla fish (Pez, 36), a small restaurant whose recipes make us tear up: there are caramelised onions, boletus and poached onions, courgette, wild asparagus and leek, black pudding from Burgos and truffled brie and ham. All juicy, rare and with good portions. The cooking point is perfect and the flavor unbeatable. To accompany: a portion of croquettes (very good) and a good beer.
** 3. WITH FOIE AND TRUFFLE: VIRIDIANA **
Abraham García, from La Mancha, one of the best chefs in the capital, is the soul of the Viridiana restaurant (Juan de Mena, 14). His menu is full of signature cuisine and fusion dishes. Our favorite (and that of chef David Muñoz): Free-range eggs in a frying pan on mushroom and truffle mousse. A hearty dish with intense flavor that leaves no one indifferent.
** 4. RANCHERS: ROLL MADRID **
There is nothing better for breakfast on a Sunday than some good Huevos Rancheros. Our favorite place is the restaurant Roll Madrid (Amaniel, 23). Their brunch is a pleasure for the five senses. The Huevos Rancheros are a must: they prepare them with quesadillas, guacamole, black beans and ranchera sauce. A very tasty and very strong Mexican dish that helps us recharge our batteries for the rest of the day.

** 6. WITH TEMPURA VEGETABLES AND ROMESCO SAUCE: THE BOSS **
In the heart of the Recoletos neighborhood, we discovered a very chic restaurant: The boss (Recollects, 14) . We love its decoration with colonial touches, its welcoming treatment and its elegant, very traveler atmosphere. Although what we like the most is their menu. Among their appetizers they offer a very ingenious dish made with eggs: broken eggs The Boss. Its secret: the eggs are slow cooked and served with vegetable tempura and romesco sauce. The result could not be better.
7. EGGS BENEDICTINE: CARMENCITA BAR
Another brunch where eggs take on a leading role is that of Carmencita Bar (_San Vicente Ferrer, 51) _. There are many who come to this charming place to try their Benedictine eggs. They are spectacular. They are served with bacon, salmon or avocado and a side to choose between homemade fries, salad or hash browns. And if you want more eggs: try the scrambled eggs with mushrooms and goat cheese or grilled provolone. Another delight.

** 8. OSTRICH: LA NOVA RESTAURANT **
If you like XXL eggs, your best option is to eat an ostrich one. Where? In the La Nova Restaurant (Zurbano, 83) They serve starry, with chips, peppers and ham . Of course, ask before because it is a seasonal dish. Second: you can order one of the many exotic meats that this grill serves: camel, kangaroo, kobe, ostrich, reindeer and even crocodile! Another suggestion: its Galician beef, the best.
9. BRITISH STYLE: BRISTOL BAR
We enter the bristol bar (Admiral, 20) to travel to a world of very British flavours. In this English cuisine restaurant we find three types of recipes with eggs: Benedictine, scrambled eggs with Cheddar & curry and Eggs Royal, our favourites. The Royal eggs are poached on a piece of bread, smoked salmon and covered in abundant hollandaise sauce. Prepare the bread and do not stop dipping. You will sweep the whole plate.

10. VERY LATIN: LA CANDELITA
Eggs Benedict "Latin Free Style" from tealight (Barquillo, 30) are another of the mandatory dishes for all egg addicts. With a typical Caribbean canteen decoration and authentic Creole cuisine, this restaurant prepares poached eggs bathed in a creamy jalapeño sauce, served on crispy potato tiles . Just thinking about them makes our mouths water. And to drink, the restaurant is also a winery dedicated to rum with more than 50 references and good Caribbean cocktails.
