Their paella is great, although the starters could be better in my opinion

Historical restaurant near underground stop "Opera", very well connected. The service was fast and friendly. The paella was the best I've tried in Madrid (not the best overall). Final price is a bit expensive, but really not too much considering the location. With the discount the bill is absolutely fine.

While Madrid is not known for Paella, we wanted to partake in this traditional dish before ending our trip to Spain. One of the guides we utilized suggested this establishment, we wound up delighted! We noticed that we could order it as part of a "Menu" which included starters, a beverage and dessert. All food was presented in an outstanding manor, was well prepared and tasted very good. The Paella was perfect, not overcooked over-seasoned nor greasy. The service was also spot-on. In all, a wonderful experience on our last night in Madrid.

We had a wonderful time and the food was excellent. Our only little quirk was the waiter who came across as a bit snobbish but he slowly loosened up towards the end

Cozy small restaurant near Opera House. Food was fabulous but the service was outstanding! The waiter was very engaging and made excellent recommendations. But hats off to the chef for providing such a delicious paella!

Good not as good as it used to be. The paella was so so and the rice was hard and lobster very small for two. The shrimp appetizer had the vain in it. Didn’t even clean the shrimp accordingly. Will never go back again when in Madrid

First time I ever had paella and we picked probably the best place in Madrid for it. It came out in a huge pan complete with all sorts of shellfish. Very tasty and filling, can’t ask for much more

Paella quite good, but the waiter has been very posh, pressing us and constantly telling us that we should leave soon cause they had to close at 21:30 o’clock. They also asked for us to pay 6 cents with coins because they could not let it go, evens if we paid the rest with card. As italians (who live in the most beautiful food country in the world) we do not recommend this place.

The restaurant's ambiance is quaint. It's clear that the owners intentionally decided not to modernize the interior. However, the paella is to die for! Highly recommend.

we had a lobster paela with my wife. all the shellfish were overcooked, the mussels boiled, the rice without any interest but above all the height, the lobster was rotten! the inside of the clamps were black! the shell was soft, and the flesh stank of rotten fish! a scandal for a lobster paela. this restaurant is a scam. For the service it was the same. When we showed them the black and rotten lobster inside, we were told to go talk to the chef about it and then finally he never came. we were charged 100% for this rotten fish dish. we left furious. Absolutely avoid.

The entrance is a little hidden, but once we saw the name on the awnings we figured it out. We booked early and the place was quiet until about 8:30 PM. Good attentive wait service throughout the meal. Our chicken and seafood paella was awesome and delicious. I loved the plate of olives that arrived with salad and bread. The ham croquettes were nice too. The area surrounding the restaurant was very festive with a mini Christmas market in front of the opera house. Overall, a very enjoyable evening and paella meal.
