10/10Excellent tasty food with great presentation! All dishes came out better than we had expected - even the free small cookies at the end of the dinner was better than the ones we just bought from a well-known bakery. Price was also very fair for the quality of the food. Overall, we couldn't be any happier. Too bad that we found out about this restaurant on our last day at Madrid.

9.5/10The best trad restaurant close to Placa Major, maybe some of the best ones in Madrid. Visited in Sept2024. Recommended by Norwegian foodies!

10/10The food was incredible, the servers were friendly and helpful, gave great recommendations and explained everything. And we loved the classic charm, you really know that you are in a historic space full of old world style and charm.

6/10Lovely restaurant and the food was good, however the service was mediocre. No smiles from any of the waiters, very blank faces and we felt they did the bare minimum.

7/10Paella was good, not excellent. Service was not wonderful, servers spoke very little English and we spoke no Spanish. We ordered a Pinot Noir, not what we got....the bottle said pinot noir but it was sweet like a dessert wine. The sausage appetizer was good and the after dinner drink they serve complimentary was good. Just average to me.

10/10Tucked away off the corner street of Plaza Mayor, this restaurant had an amazing dish my grandmother used to make--callos madrileño! It was savory, soft, ful of unctuous goodness! They also had a great version of cochinillo and arroz negro, the two going together so flawlessly!

10/10Very friendly staff. Very quick service. Big portions of the paellas. Grateful for the drink's treat at the end of our meal. Cosy atmosphere due to wooden ceiling and the paintings on the walls. Definitely recommended !

6.5/10Los Galayos was recommended by the Fork. We had a steak which was very good and lamb-chops which were small and to long baked so dry. The ovenbaked potatoes were not warm and not as brown as you would expect. There were no vegetables with the dishes so we ordered a Ceaser sladae as a side dish which was very nice. The restaurant itself was classic decorated (the entrance and staircase could use an update), the chairs were made of wood no cushion. The prices were ok; in total 90 euros with a glass of wine, coffee, water and a desert.

10/10This is a beautiful, classic restaurant. We had the suckling pig and lamb chops, which were both delicious! We would have loved to have had a small salad or vegetable on the side, but they were all somewhat expensive. The entries came with potatoes, and we did get bread, olives, cheese, and sausage for a small price, so we were very happy. We also had good wine and delicious vermouth for very reasonable prices.

10/10I had my doubts that Los Galayos, based on its proximity to a large tourist attraction (Plaza Mayor), was going to provide quality authentic Spanish cuisine. To my surprise, they delivered 10 fold. The food was very good and the atmosphere quaint. I looked around at other patrons and saw a combination of both locals and tourists. We visited on a very hectic evening and the restaurant was still able to accommodate our reservation without hesitation with impeccable service. We enjoyed squash blossoms to start, then Seafood Paella and Suckling Pig. Both were prepared very well. I would not hesitate to recommend this location to others. My bias because of their location was unwarranted.

6/10Paella was extremely salty and soggy . The roasted pork had no flavor. Overpriced. The food was overall bad and I left feeling I threw money in the trash by having this meal . I am very hesitant now to trust any online reviews for popular international restaurants. I think it is all lies to trap tourists .

6.5/10We enjoyed eating in a traditional, older restaurant for the ambiance but found the food and service underwhelming. The croquetas were pretty good. Bread was bland and came out cold like it was in the fridge. The paella was disappointing. We’ll stick to the hot spots in the alley.
