    We had the tasting menu for €60. The food was excellent for the price point. The courses followed in quick succession, but portion size was perfect and presentation on point. The fish and duck were perfectly cooked. The only remark would be about the combination of truffle with banoffee in the dessert, which was a bit strange and tasted like there was some crossover from previous courses. Our waiter was not overly friendly and the explanation of each course was brief, without being impolite or surly. Overall, we had a great evening and would certainly visit again. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends.

    Fabulous food. We went starter/entrada heavy and then 1/2 mains. What a treat. We knew we it was going to be good from the bread/butter/olive oil and the local wine we chose. Such a fabulous evening.

    The food was very disappointing. The beef tartare was not only over salty and gray, but was also served from a side table. Some of the worst food I’ve ever had in Spain and almost every dish was poorly executed. Lamb was very fatty and overcooked. Scallops were undercooked, slightly cold in the middle. The restaurant had an unfavorable smell upon entering.

    Reasonable prices. Great food & great wine. Staff was bilingual and very courteous. I don’t usually eat desserts, but the ones we had were amazing.

    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.

    Nice place, established 35 years. Modern interiors. Waiters very attentive, had a set menu for €42 which was plenty, comprised of 3 enteries and a main dish including the desert. House wine was delicious and reasonably priced. Pleasant and relaxed ambience. Worth a visit.

    A small and cosy restaurant with excellent food and a good wine list ???? the final bill was okay and price level is very good. The chef produces food with a twist and with an eye for the good raw materials. I would love to come back ????

    Epic….did the degustation menu which was 9 courses of chef choice…..a barbacoa taco, a fish tartare, foil gras sandwich, artichoke with cream corn, crab ravioli, seared tuna, iberico pork cheese course and dessert….one of the best meals since we last did San Sebastián area several years ago….highly recommended ….more casual than expected so we felt a bit overdressed

    A Michelin guide restaurant with a value for money menu (5 courses) for 40€ per person. Available also a degustation menu with 3 more dishes. We’ve selected seafood starters and fish as main course. Alternatively, you can select meat dishes. The octopus and the tuna tartare were very good. The wine card has a limited selection of Spanish wines at very good prices. The dinning area has a contemporary design and the staff is friendly. There’s not an outside sitting area. Overall a good dinning experience.
