    We LOVE Marcelle. The food was fresh, innovative, and delicious. The owners were incredibly attentive and carefully accommodated dietary restrictions. The open kitchen was a joy to watch. And the ambiance of this cozy restaurant was lovely. We are sure to be back.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming restaurant, and I can't recommend it enough for a cozy night out. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy good company. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the simple yet delicious dishes. Each plate was thoughtfully prepared, showcasing fresh ingredients and delightful flavors. I found myself savoring every bite, and honestly, I could have stayed there all evening, enjoying the wonderful food and sipping on a selection of wines.

    Amazing experience! Everything is made by the restaurant, the bread, the olive, the deserts… I looked for this restaurant because of the excellent reviews at the fork, and I confirm, it was amazing. The restaurant is super cozy and the owners super friendly and always interested if everything was good!

    We had amazing evening dining at Marcelle, a small, unpretentious restaurant offering a very cozy atmosphere. The service was very nice, with the host being very welcoming and personable. The restaurant only offered a 3-course menu with 2 amuse-bouches to start, and we love every single bite of what we had that evening. The food was excellent with beautiful presentation. We left as 2 extremely happy customers! Will definitely be back next time we are in Madrid!

    We had an amazing evening. The food was delicious, well prepared, beautifully presented. The wine selection was match to the food in a great way. The owners are just such nice people making the atmosphere so great. It’s quiet but still lively. We give our highest recommendation. This was our top restaurant during a 3 day stay. We did a lot of research before choosing where to eat.

    Marcelle delivers a truly delightful dining experience! The food was exceptional, capturing the essence of a farm-to-table philosophy with fresh, flavorful ingredients that felt both local and lovingly prepared. The wine selection was carefully curated and paired beautifully with each dish, enhancing the flavors of the meal. The ambiance was intimate and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed yet memorable evening. Service was flawless, with attentive staff who made sure every detail was taken care of. The chef’s expertise shone through each course, offering a refined but wonderfully low-key experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a laid-back yet high-quality meal.

    One of the best meals we’ve had anywhere in the last year. Inventive and excellent cuisine. Impeccable service and reasonably priced. Watch this space, this restaurant will not be a “hidden” gem for long. I wish we had them in our city. Go now!

    Fantastic Basque meal in a tiny restaurant outside of the tourist area! Easily walkable from the Centro area. Owned by a young Basque couple and they are doing creative and wonderful things with their menu. Food was outstanding. 39 Euros for a 4 course menu. 5 Euros for a glass of wine. Don’t miss the homemade feta with the bread service. Outstanding. We loved the owner who served us. She was so warm & friendly. Highly recommend!

    We had a wonderful dinner here - two couples from the US visiting Madrid. Small but well prepared menu and a very attentive chef who wanted us to be happy. Be prepared for an unusual and authentic menu and experience and a great value. Highly recommend!

    My second time at Marcelle and both were exceptional. Small, intimate space that might seat 20. Very welcoming staff, open kitchen, a real sense that they are all in it together. The food was inventive, complex, tasty, and full of surprises, in a good way. Very good and affordable wine. Altogether a great evening.

    Marcelle was a great find. We were just looking for somewhere romantic to treat ourselves to while in Madrid but didn't realize it was Valentine's Day - nearly impossible to find anything! They had an opening for us and it was a very lovely surprise. The menu was very unusual so we did the chef's tasting menu and were blown away by the flavours and the presentation. The natural wine we had was incredible too. The place is small and cozy which is perfect and the staff were super friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in - we really felt looked after.
