My wife and I ate here, and overall enjoyed our dinner and experience. My sirloin steak was excellent. My wife's selection, lamb ribs, tasted good butvtgerecwas very little meat, which we did not expect. A disappointing offering indeed. But, the service and ambiance were good. We would return.

Loved the shrimp, squid, hake grilled and salads were so fresh and delicious. We ordered before we saw the specials on the table. Check them out!

The service was superb, but unfortunately the food was too oily and heavy to digest.

We had the garlic prawns and steak tartare along with a house red wine. Everything was first rate with a small amount spice heat in the tartare that I tasted before it was served. Dessert was tiramisu which was a bit too wet but otherwise a light post dinner repast. The cappuccinos were great. When the house is full the noise can be loud. We will return.

I really like this place though today I found the food to be just “normal”. Service as usual very good. As always, somewhat empty and lacking ambience

Parilla el Barril Carnes y Pescados a las Brasas in San Agustin, Madrid, offers a quaint and cozy dining experience with a focus on grilled meats and fish. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and perfectly suits the environ that greets you as you enter. We were intrigued by the menu, although we found it a bit limited. This restaurant is very near the Madrid Westin Palace Hotel on Prado where we were staying. During our visit, I opted for the Steak Salad. It's important to note that it featured "Steak Bonito," which to my misunderstanding, was not beef but rather a tuna steak. While this was a delicious surprise, it was not what I initially expected. Make sure to read the menu descriptions CAREFULLY! For those accustomed to American steak preparations, be mindful when ordering. My husband's steak ordered at medium doneness came out quite rare, more on the bloody side than he prefers. It seems that steak here is generally served less cooked than in the States, so I'd advise specifying if you like your meat more on the well-done side. Overall, our experience at Parilla el Barril was delightful, with friendly service and a charming atmosphere. The only drawbacks were the limited menu and the need to adjust expectations regarding meat doneness. A solid four-star experience for anyone looking to enjoy traditional Spanish grill in Madrid.
