While the tasting menu was well thought out from a stylistic standpoint, the restaurant itself has more of office ambience than restaurant. Some of the courses (paté, duck e.g.) stayed behind their potential. Otherwise a really good price-value ratio! Only recommended for (hunting) meat-lovers

We found a long woman hair in our food. The staff immediately took our food away without saying sorry.

Gala was excellent. Service was personal but professional. Presentation was exceptional. They changed plates and cutlery every course. The dishes were delicious, beautifully presented and appropriately portioned. Steak tartare, sea bass, venison and sea urchin were standouts.

The standout for me was the 3 cheese cheesecake! Creamy, with real gourmet cheeses, it is exceptional! All other dishes were very good (I also recommend the passion fruit shrimp) and service attentive.

The food and atmosphere was fantastic. We got the tasting menu and were not disappointed. Our server did not speak fluent English (and we didn’t speak fluent Spanish), but he made every effort and it added to the experience. If we ever it back to Barcelona, we would definitely go again.

The oyster was amazing, and so was the gazpacho. The other dishes was indeed tasteful, but somehow too rich. So if you are in for a “beef” umami taste, you will be delighted- it’s rich and full body flavored. I just missed a bit more crispy and more subtle light flavors. Otherwise it was a fine experience dinning at Gala.

I had a dinner at the Gala last week. The food is beyond all expectations. Everything and I mean Everything is delicious. My favorite was the sea urchin, shrimp ceviche, and octopus.

The food and service were great as always, although it was a bit too hot inside that day, maybe it is something to do with the air conditioner. I really enjoyed the Chuleta de ternera Sanabresa.

A hidden gem in Madrid. Three days here and this food was the best by far. The last 2 restaurants also had 5 star ratings on tripadvisor.

A real gem, reason enough to visit Madrid. Jorge and staff offer sophisticated, delicious dishes, kind and responsive service, all quality without pretension. (Even here in Galicia, we´ll be dreaming of the grilled octopus in potato puree). As good today as it was 3 years ago , we´ll be back again.
