We were early to eat by Spanish standards so only a few 5ables were occupied, but we were impressed by the menu and the service. It was nice to receive a complimentary hors doevres. We (3 adults) enjoyed padron peppers followed by picanha steak, large prawns and a seafood risotto. All meals were delicious and in generous portions. Wine by the glass was also good quality. With “The Fork” discount applied the meal was very reasonable- great value for money and great quality. The restaurant had filled up by the time we left and was buzzing, which we were pleased to see.

A true gem off the tourist path. The staff was amazing very friendly and willing to work with our lack of Spanish. The seafood was fresh and perfectly prepared and the wine affordable and high quality. I would definitely go back when in Madrid

I ordered four seafood dishes. The squids, scallops, and the octopus were great. However, the clams were not cleaned properly and had a ton of sand in them. Service was very friendly, but prices were a bit high.

Delicious food and friendly service. Probably the best croquetas I have had- very creamy inside and tasty. The squid street with onions was tender and delicious. Just a lovely dinner.

Authentic Galician food in the center of Madrid. Third time at the restaurant. The food is excellent in quality, however, I have noticed that there has been differences in the consistency of the taste. For example, the croqutes were better the last time we were there. The cheesecake was also better and much creamier (less compact), a result of the Arzúa cheese it is made with. That said, the food is the most authentic Galician food I've found in Madrid. My family is from Muros, Galicia and there is even a dish dedicated to Louro (a part of Muros). It is nice to be able to have these tastes when you're far away and craving Galician food!

Very good authentic food from Galicia. Portion of arroz con marisco was a bit small, but otherwise everything was great. Will definitely return!

Acceptable food and ambiance. Could be better. The music was not at all taken care of. Some good Galician traditional music would have been nice.

The place is a bar& restaurant. The space is not so huge, but it feels cozy. We ordered pimientos padrón and chipirones louro as first dishes, then we had picaña gallega and arroz marinero as main dishes. Everything was really delicious, we are specially in love with the arroz marinero, cause the flavor was rich and intense. The price was really reasonable for the amount and quality, we paid 45 euro for 2 persons.

The cachopo is sublime and the cheese cake is one of the best we’ve ever tasted. Excellent attention by the girl. This is not the best time we come and won’t be the last for sure.

Well focused menu of Galician dishes. Both types of octopus (pulpo) were delicious, but also raxo and tuna tataki. The wines offered are few but excellent and served at the right temperature. The service was friendly, precise and fast even on Saturday night.

A delicious, simple Galician meal: croquetas & pimientos to start. The main course of baby squid with onions and potatoes was exquisite; cooked in wine; super fresh squid. All washed down with a nice glass of Albariño. The service was quick and friendly. Prices are very reasonable.
