An important part of Madrid's rich culture is its abundance in 
delicious cuisine.  In addition to typical Spanish foods, Madrid also
overflows with dishes from neighboring provinces such as Valencia, Galicia, or the Basque country.
 

Breakfast typically consists of churros con chocolate (deep fried 
Spanish doughnuts and hot chocolate).  Lunchtime is perhaps the
biggest and most important meal of the day and is anytime 
between 1-4 p.m.  Dinnertime is late in which people would 
usually have leftovers from lunchtime around 10:30 p.m.  Between
lunch and dinner, Madrilenos would have merienda (snack/tea time) that usually consists of churros, other types of danish, coffee
and tea. 

 

Madrid is famous for their tapas, small snacks that can be either
hot or cold dishes that are served as appetizers and can be anything from Spanish omelette, squids or paella - a rice dish made with saffron rice, seafood, chicken and vegetables.
