    Great food and wonderful service. The fideos de arroz with shrimp, mussels and langostinos was tasty and full of flavor. The duck breast was cooked medium and had a sweet sauce that was very good too.

    We were for the late lunch. Paella was delicious. Fondant is not their strong point but still good.

    Contrary to reviews I read on other sites, our experience was excellent. Reception was great and succeeding service was fantastic. Food was also very good. I would recommend Pato Mudo to anyone wanting authentic Spanish Paella

    The inexperience of the waiter (new to the function) was not helped by the directorial attitude of the manager. The decor is agreeable and the ambiance quiet. We had fideuas but came somewhat disappolnted as they lacked crispiness.

The food was not only delicious but also flavorful and well-prepared, showcasing a delightful range of tastes that left me thoroughly satisfied. The restaurant's design is stunning, with a cozy and beautiful ambiance that made the meal even more enjoyable. The attention to detail extended to the dishes, plates, and utensils, all of which were of high quality and added a touch of elegance to the dining experience. Additionally, the service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring a smooth and pleasant meal from start to finish. Overall, El Pato Mudo offers a superb dining experience that I highly recommend.

    everything delicious, from bread with alioli and tomato to paella, squid and desserts. Service is friendly and quick, the restaurant is cozy (perhaps tables a bit too close to each other). Nice area of the city and nicely decorated restaurant. Vermout was also really good. REcommended!

    Your chipirones had been excelent but we were dissapointed on the quantity of ingrediences on the Paella. We had the impression of eating rice ;-). Service was fine and the starter was excellent.

    The seafood paella was delicious and the portion generous. The service was very good on top of that. I also liked the vintage Southern European decoration: feels like you're eating in an old house.

    Service was great, paella is prepared at the moment, please be patient. Loved that there was options for vegan and people that doesn't like sea food.

    We eaten paella mixta but was not very good. Not reach of meat and fish and not plentiful. To drink the waiter suggest us the Sangria but we do not like the combination. It could have been much better white wine that other tables around us had ordered. We do not recommend this restaurant, at least for tourists. Maybe spanish people are better treated.

    Paellas are great. However they serve you bread and water bottles (when tap water is free and mandatory in Spain) without asking you and then invoice you for these. In addition, I got sick for 4 days due to the cream that comes with the bread.

    A nice enough place but with slow service at the start.. we ordered a cesar salad with lettuce so withered I would have thrown it away at home, yet alone in a restaurant where you are paying good money.. The rice was better, but nothing special for the price and only a little skimpy in quantity... probably won't go back soon...

    Best restaurant for rice (paellas) we have ever tasted! We will come back. The waitpersons were very friendly and provided quick service. The restaurant is close to a subway station (Opera station, line 2).

    we ordered year year eve menu which consisted of a aperitif, starter, main and cocktail. All good and drinks were excellent. We had to pay wine apart, which was clearly stated upfront. The staff was very friendly, I think we got the table in a better room, like dedicated to those you ordered menu. quiet and bigger. The dinner was served in turnes, so when our time run out we were politely served the bill. All ok and we will come back for sure to try more food there.

    The paella is great! We tried the valenciana and worth the visit. The wine selection is also incredible. Victor was in charge and helped to make us feel at home in this outstanding restaurant for rice lovers.
