The service was marginal. Wait staff did not show much hospitality or interest towards customer. The suckling pig was just ok.

It is difficult for our family to find a place and celebrate the new year day. We have to come earlier at 6:15. The food is delicious and the service is good. We had a good time there

Excellent 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.

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

The 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.

Lovely 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.

Paella 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.

Tucked 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!

Very 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 !

Los 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.

This 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.
