10/10We found this restaurant and fell in love with its simple marine decor. We arrived for lunch. The appetizer calamares de potera a la andaluza (fried squid) was sublime. It was crunchy, sweet and very well cooked. We also had croquettes, salpicón de mariscos and pulpo a la gallega. All the appetizers were excellent. We followed with merluza al pilpil, and arroz meloso de mariscos with were very good. I forgot what we had for dessert and ended with a shot of orujo, Paxo de Valdomiño. Because the squid appetizer was out of the world, we returned at night two days later. Regretfully, the squid was not crunchy, rubbery and very distant from the plate we had enjoyed at lunch before. We followed with an order of tacos de merluza with fries, and the fish was excellently cooked, but the fries were raw. I called that to the attention of the server, and ordered another order. This time, the fish was overcooked and the fries were cooked to perfection. This excellent rating in this review is based on our lunch experience, and not the dinner experience, where presumably, another chef was tending the stoves.

8/10The design of the dishes was poor. Taste was on point. Bread was good. Sparkling water was not Vichy brand THANK GOD! Coffee was horrible. €74.5 for 2 mains + 1 very ridiculously small appetizer + 2 waters + 1 beer. Too expensive for the offer. No reason to come back.

About this restaurant
El Barril de Alcántara es lugar de referencia para los amantes del tapeo en general y del mar en particular. Ubicado en el barrio de Salamanca, y con un ambiente mayoritariamente joven, se convierte en la opción perfecta para degustar pescados y mariscos de peso en tapas o a la carta. Además de a comer, aquí también se viene a beber la mejor cerveza de Madrid, perfecta para acompañar los platos estrella de la casa: gambas de Huelva, jamón de bellota con pan tumaca, ensalada de tomates pelados con ventresca y cebolleta o pulpo a la gallega que también combina a las mil maravillas con cualquiera de sus vinos blancos (Albariño o Rueda). La clientela aprecia también las croquetas caseras (diferentes cada día), los boquerones victorianos, los huevos estrellados con jamón o los langostinos de San Lúcar a la parrilla. ¡A tapear se ha dicho! Déjate aconsejar porque siempre tienen algún pescado que no está en la carta y que merece mucho la pena probar.
