    Very limited menu, the food wasn’t great at all: the steak was raw instead of medium rare, fish was raw and tasteless. The staff took a long time to serve and couldn’t really speak English well. For this price, won’t come here again.

    Everything was perfect. The quality and excellent taste of the food left us in heaven with each plate we tried. We have no doubt, a magnificent experience every time we visit this place thanks to the professionalism of the staff.

    As a steak enthusiast this is the place to go, starting off with great bread and amazing quality olive oil. Great wines and the perfect cooking point on the steak. Being very rare on the inside and with an amazing sear outside. If you’re not a based meat eater the steak is not the right plate to choose. And the bell peppers(pimientos) are excellent. (RESERVE A TABLE).

    Very restricted menu, our one course meal with 2 glasses of wine, still water and a dessert amounted to 147 euros. Their flagship steak sells at 80 euros a kilo of which 50% is bone.

    This is a restaurant worth repeating, Food was excellent. We had the Chuleton was really good, as well as the appetizers. Service was good, what you would expect from a Tavern. The neighborhood and the restaurant could be the setting for a late 1800s movie. The crowd having lunch, was really lively....

    We had a wonderful time at CJDT. The wait staff encouraged us with great selections, the pricing was very reasonable, and the food was excellent - most notably, the local steak was incredible. Had a lovely evening and highly recommend this location. Our only advice would be to make sure you are seated on the primary floor verses in the lower level.

    Excellent service and food quality. The ambiance was great. I will return when in madrid> I had visited in Tolosa and had such a good experience there that I decided to try the Madrid venue. Superb.

    Fish soup was really good; however there was a bit of undertone that didn’t sit well. As a black person, I know when someone isn’t too happy in my presence and one person in particular made us feel that way. Her tone, condescending demeanor spoke volume. I was eager to eat steak but I had to send it back three times since my request of “well done” was too much to ask for. They made it seem it was a bother. But anyhow, I will say that one of the young ladies who served me wine and fish soup was pleasant even though we could barely understand each other.

    Lovely restaurant and the most delicious steak we had in years! Also the starters were really nice. Great staff and atmosphere too. The waiter was so friendly, he came to share the recipe of the delicious salad we had.

    We came here on our honeymoon after being recommended by a friend who lives Locally in Madrid. It did not disappoint. It was a classic Madrid restaurant and some of the best steak we ever had. We will be back next time. 10/10! Get the steak with the Piquillo peppers and don't turn back!

    The best steak I have ever eaten. Hands down. No contest. Our servers were polite and very patient with communication and helped us learn some essential Spanish too. A truly great restaurant doing great things.

    Excellent experience! A gem in Madrid. A hand picked selection of food and wines. Must try the peppers and the t-bone. Only one white wine but excellent. You will not be disappointed.

    I usually do not write reviews - but Casa Julian de Tolosa exceeded all expectations even though we had high expectations. Amazing food, equally amazing service. To repeat for sure.

    There were Drunk people that were too loud for the other guests and very annoying. The food was reasonable but overpriced. There are several other bistros that offer more and better for a lower price.
