Murillo Café

“This charming restaurant has great food and music, plus a wonderful bar,” says Caroline Herrera de Baez. Owners Eliza Arcaya and Johanna Müller-Klingspor, who also ran a successful catering business, offer simple but interesting Mediterranean fare. The clientele—often museumgoers coming from the next-door Prado—only add to the dining room’s style. What’s more, the “Hamburger CH,” topped with cheese, tomato, lettuce, and pickles, is named after the lovely Herrera de Baez. “I love it!” she says.
