Restaurant serves up healthy helpings for the homeless

It is early evening at a restaurant in central Madrid and Jose Silva sits down for a meal of rice, meatballs and vegetables as waiters flit from one table to another.

All very normal, except for one crucial detail: Silva, 42, cannot afford to pay.

He lives rough under the platform of a cable car station in Madrid's Casa del Campo park, one of dozens of homeless people who have started dining for free at the Robin Hood restaurant that opened this week.
