10/10Everything about this restaurant will please you. From the outside this is an unassuming restaurant with lots of outdoor seating. However we booked an inside table, where the indoor seating is in an underground cellar, with low archways, that has been very tastfully decorated, capturing the old bricks and creating a very intimate dining experience. The indoor ambience, quiet and intimate, is totally differen to the more casual and nosier outdoor dining. Either way you will enjoy great food and service. We ordered the Paella and Cod Croquettes, which were excellent and perfectly captured the Spanish cusine we wanted.

9/10Good food, nice atmosphere. We booked our table through thefork and we were supposed to have a 30% discount which eventually wasn’t applied and I only realized that when I came home. We were distracted by our conversation so didn’t realize the waitress didn’t apply the discount, but then when I double checked the receipt at home I realized we paid the full price.

8.5/10Cozy corner in the plaza mayor . We had a reservation but I didn’t even thing to give my name about want crowded and plenty of tables to be had. The tapas was great and was perfect after walking around all morning.

10/10Absolutely fantastic. We had the chorizo and octopus tapas to start followed by paella. The food was excellent. Best meal we’ve had in our 4 day stay in Madrid.

5/10We were very surprised with the rating, that this restaurant would serve, the top of which were basically tasteless. Particularly the prawns and mussels- no flavor.. There was no garlic,mushrooms were reheated. Disappointing and boring.

5.5/10It was my first night there I went on some online recommendations and it was in a beautiful plaza… I knew it was going to be touristy, but it was very over priced easily by 50%… I have a coupon for 30% off but then the art we argued that it was not applicable to my meal did say 30% off of food not drinks . But I think what was most disappointing was that I felt steered so wrong online the paella I got was sort of hardened over. There was one piece of seafood placed at 12 o’clock 3 o’clock 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock and that was it, and the rice tasted very Briney. The sangria was good. The waiter was very nice and patient and the plaza was beautiful but the food was an absolute miss

4.5/10It pretends to be more of a fine dining experience and its not. Really disappointed in the service. Food was good, it was not great and for the prices it should have been better overall

9/10The location of Plaza Mayor never disappoints. We wanted to eat on the terrace, & they found us a spot even though they said the reservas we made earlier were only for inside tables. Our waiter, Armando, was very friendly and attentive when needed. We ordered paella, which can be served individually, which is nice. And even though the rice was not as crispy as paella which we like & experienced in Valencia, the paella todo pelado was still very tasty. Good experience...we will return to try the Fiduea, which is hard to find on a Madrid menu.

10/10Visit Madrid and do yourself a favor: visit this lovely restaurant in Plaza Mayor. This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool. The staff truly cares about your experience, especially the waitress with the best name ever: Genesis! The food is amazing – the paella we shared literally melted in our mouths. Highly recommend!

10/10The best spot in Plaza Mayor! Such fantastic food, generous portions, good prices, great service. In no way a tourist trap (as I had sort of expected), truly a really great option for Spanish food in the Plazza Mayor.

7/10I had made a reservation which I thought was inside in the cave restaurant but was directed outside. It was quite a mild evening so ok and then saw a huge party go inside so worked out ok. Food was ok and service fine. I would just say average but not outstanding

9/10We were the first table to be seated, but by the time we left restaurant was filling up. Sangria, paella, and ham croquettes were all good. Our 7 and 1 year old daughters enjoyed as well, child friendly dining!! Prices were fair for quantity of food, would recommend!!

4.5/10We use TripAdvisor to find food locations close to our hotel. This particular restaurant had high ratings. I am not really sure why. The food portions were very small for the price. The food itself was not very tasty. We kept looking at other restaurants in the area, since there were about 10 restaurants in clusters around us, just to see what they served and how the dishes looked. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The staff was pretty nice though.
