Fish filets with lots of bones pulled the experience down.

The ambience, service, and food were wonderful! Tapas plates are generous. Grilled squid was a whole squid presented beautifully, and it was absolutely delicious.

Loved it! Interesting and delicious choices. The pork scratchings were fabulously crispy, and everything that followed from there was similarly tasty. Anchovies two ways was my standout dish closely followed by the artichokes. Staff were friendly and kept checking in on me as a solo diner. Highly recommend!

This lovely little place was recommended by our hotel the first night we arrive. Zakia, MaryCris and the rest of the team took good care of us. Fed us well and treated us like family. The first night I had the best roast chicken with aromatic herb in my life(PS add vegetables)my dinner companion has the Sea bass and it was so delicious. The second time I brought my cousins with me and I was greeted like an old friend. The service again was exceptional, the food was so good we had the cod fish and vegetables for appetizers, my cousin had the gazpacho with the lemon sorbet and was very good. The second course was fish and lamb and again super delicious and cooked to perfection. A little after dinner herbal shot, trust me no indigestion after that. The sorbet and Carmel used rice pudding for dessert. Excellent way to end my trip to the fabulous city of Madrid. Do not miss this place.

A lovely restaurant. Service was kind and attentive. Food delicious. There were four of us. Shared a pitcher of sangria. We had the chicken and vegetable paella (one of the best we’ve ever had), the beef stroganoff, and tempura shrimp. The caramel cheesecake and rice pudding a perfect end! Highly recommend.

The food was very poor quality and extremely expensive. Plus, I asked if they had expresso machine coffee and the owner said yes but instead he gave me instant coffee as if I wouldn’t know. Tourist trap. Don’t be fooled. There are so many good places in Madrid. Never going back!

The beef entrecôte was perfectly done but over salted, as were the potatoes. The bulls tail stew was inedible, all fat and bones

We had the chicken and the suckling pig, followed by cheesecake with caramel topping and homemade ice cream. We thoroughly enjoyed the food although vegetables were rather lacking. The service was cheerful and attentive. In all highly recommended and we would certainly return.

I live in Madrid and had never been here, I needed a last minute reservation in this neighborhood and this place had great reviews. As soon as we entered we realized this was a tourist place (this neighborhood is touristy but has great places of Madrid standards). Aside from this the service was very dry and rushing us. In terms of food, the scallops were great but that’s about it. The jamón was not actually high quality except for the price and the steak, which the reviews raved about, was tough and flavorless. Again, the quality did not meet the price. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend this place nor return again.

As a 2 person group I can see they never want to give us a big table. But we were the first guests there. And we were specifically there for pallela which couldn’t be delivered to the table bc we were stuck in the corner and the pan was too big. Ugh. Service was great and the artichoke was amazing. Pallela was just ok.

The vibe of this wonderful restaurant is homey and the wait staff treat you like family. We received a complimentary cod appetizer served alongside crusty bread and olive oil for dipping. The wine by the bottle is reasonably priced. For entree, I had the beef stroganoff. The meat was tender and the portion generous. My husband raved about the roasted chicken with potatoes which was served in a pot. Dessert was a fluffy carmel cheesecake. Last came a delicious Irish coffee. Afterwards, we were treated to free shots of sherry. Perfect! Highly recommend this little gem of a restaurant.

I made a reservation for my birthday and they went above and beyond to make me feel like a princess. The food was incredible! We had the Paella and Pulpo. They gave me a chocolate cake as a gift ????
