A little pricey but we had a discount so not really. Food was good, two tapas and 1 main was enough for two to share. Desserts were the highlight though. The torrida(?) was absolutely exceptional, 6 out of 5 if we could.

Drinks, ambience and service were excellent. The trio of croquetas were good with the chipirones ones being above average. Hubby’s solomillo was superb - perfect flavor and preparation. Unfortunately my hake was dry and should have been served with a fattier sauce.

It took almost one hour to go from arriving to the starters. Which were great. The pint of beer was a 33cl glass. Which the service told us was a pint of beer. We had to tell them after 1 hour and 10 minutes that we were in a hurry. They got the seconds out quickly. The Merluza and steak were underwhelming. Even with a 30% discount from the Fork, we still did not think it was value for money. Service was terribly slow while the restaurant was almost empty.

Nice and great food restaurant in new hotel Umusic in the renovated Teatro Albeniz. It is owned by Universal Music and shows mainly performance by the company musicals. Also an amazing Rooftop with views over Puerta del Sol. Excellent service by Alberto and all the team. Yummy eggplant, tasty tuna and foie grass soup. We will come back to watch a a show and hopefully have time to have dinner or a drink and tapa in the rooftop (owned by Universal Music)

Dear Martín, We thank you for your time and for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are glad you enjoyed the UMusic experience and look forward to seeing you again. We send you a big hug. El albéniz

The restaurant isn’t a restaurant, just some random tables at a bar of the theatre. Service was unattentive. Each time the door of the theatre opened we couldn’t talk, as the noise was too loud. Food was forgettable. Wine over priced. With so many outstanding options in Madrid, I would give this one a miss.
