Excellent food and service. Best meal we have had in Madrid. Care, authenticity and love for what they are doing are the ingredients that characterise this restaurant. Definitely will visit again next time we are in Madrid.

Very good food and Maykol was an amazing server. We had shrimp salad, beef, tomato stuffed with high quality fish and northern fish in lemon sauce. They also gave us complimentary drinks always a nice touch!

My family had our last dinner in Madrid at El Sueño de Carmen, and it was such a memorable one! The staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the food is delicious! Highlights were the beef in chimichurri sauce, and the truffle croquetas! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates amazing food and outstanding service.

We really enjoyed our experience. We read great reviews and wanted to give this restaurant a try. It was off the beaten path (which we prefer). The food and service were excellent! Our server was so friendly and gave us some great recommendations. We were even treated with complimentary drinks at the end of our meal. Highly recommend!

The dinner was great with well prepared beef (lomo) and nice side dishes, The waiter and owner is a very nice person and quick as well. The environment is super with mainly local people (except us) in the restaurant.
