MACAO was great! I was really impressed with the service, the quality of the food and the speed the food came out. Normally when the food is so quick the quality is poor but this was definitely not the case. Great restaurant, would recommend and hope to go back one day when I’m in Madrid.

Food was EXCEPTIONAL and the service was nothing short of outstanding. Everything was smooth and classy, I’ll definitely come back and recommend the place to my friends and family. Valentina’s service was top notch and she made the evening even more loveable. She was professional while keeping everything very natural and friendly. Excellent service! Thanks a lot!

It was the first time we tried it, since we discovered from The Fork and the food was very tasty, the sauces full of flavors , the air conditioning activated was quite nice due the hot weather, it was not too crowded and Valentina assist us in everything we needed in a profissional way. Even though we asked for too many food, we were able to take home the rest. She even brought a chocolate cake and put a happy birthday song for my Italian friend.

We were first guests of the evening so service and food came quickly. Great value with the fork offer. Lots of food selections available and we were very satisfied with the dishes we chose both for quality and quantity (but be aware that many dishes are "tapas" size). We were a group of 3 and shared 7/8 selections.

The service and ambiance were good. The food was just okay for the price. Definitely not worth the expense unless you’re in a hurry and you can sit down, eat, pay, and be on your way in 30 min.

We were impressed with the pictures online of the food and restaurant and we weren't disappointed when we arrived. There were no English communication issues, the food was excellent and arrived promptly. With a 40% off offer our meal for two cost 47 euro including a bottle of wine and beer, great value. Mary the waitress in particular was very good.

We got there five minutes to 8 and was told to wait outside as they weren’t open yet. We were then sat in a corridor by an emergency exit so zero ambience. We were ignored for a further 10 minutes and then asked if we had decided, having not even been given a menu at this point. We were told the menu was out of date and to scan a QR code which worked quite well. The food then came apace and was all delicious. Was not a fan of the soft shell crab in a bao bun but the rest was lovely. Ambience and service definitely lacking but food hard to fault. Not dear either and Fork discount applied without asking.
