We managed to get the last place to sit. What I ordered: all I got was the feta fries. They were less than 4€ and were delicious! They were perfectly crisp, seasoned, and had the perfect amount of feta on them. I have no idea about the other dishes, but I would go back alone just for the fries! (I gave it 4 stars because the restaurant itself could have been more unique and it was great, but I don't think it deserves a full 5 stars.)

I stumbled upon Egeo as it was one of the few restaurants open in Lavapies during the siesta. And I…read moream SO lucky that I did. Egeo is such a great break from Spanish food. I love you tortilla española, but I can only eat so many eggs. I ordered the hamburger suvlaki, the cheese fries, and my boyfriend got the pork suvlaki. All were delicious and so cheap. My favorite was the hamburger suvlaki because it's a mix of both ground up beef and lamb meat. The mustard and egg were an interesting, but GENIUS combination. I'm drooling just thinking about it. The pork suvlaki was also delicious, and I loved that it included tzatziki sauce. However, it tasted like a plain gyro and wasn't as unique as the hamburger version. The cheese fries were also great, but could have been more crunchy and had some kind of sauce over them as feta makes everything pretty dry. Overall, a great experience. I would recommend Egeo to anyone who wants a cheap and delicious break from Spanish food.

Everyone was friendly and helpful. :) I ate an Iberian ham sandwich -- first time trying Iberian ham and it was really good; the sandwich wasn't too oily or anything and was filling. For dessert I tried some of the tres leches WHICH WAS AMAZING. 10/10 would recommend this dessert item. Multiple of my companions ordered their daily special which was 3-course meal anywhere from 10 - 13 euros: appetizer, main course, and dessert. I'd recommend checking that option out if you go to Vivares; the even have a vegetarian friendly menu with the daily special. Overall, would recommend Vivares.

What I ordered: I got the toast with tomato spread, a cappuccino, and the chocolate cake. For the toast, they have two vintage toasters sitting on the main table so you can toast it yourself. This is cute, until you aren't the one at the main table so you have to reach over other people to toast your breakfast. The cake was a perfect amount of density and moisture; although, I would probably get a different flavor if I could do it over. A lot of people do chocolate cake a lot better than this. I do appreciate that they have all the cakes on a table and cut it right in front of you. Would I go back to this place? Honestly no because my experience wasn't overwhelmingly great and I think I could do better at other cafes nearby, but the quality of food here is simply top-notch.

Be sure to make a reservation because the restaurant is quaint--besides a communal table that seats around ten, I think I only saw a small bar space and two individual tables. The decor is modern, simple yet funky and homey, and the tables in front of the windows are beautiful! The menu includes several options where you can pick the number of side dishes and entree, so you can completely design your meal around your appetite. The ingredients tasted super fresh, and we especially loved the salads we tried! My friend was a little disappointed that his ceviche portion was so small, but it tasted great, and I loved the Asian-inspired chicken. Service was also pretty good, by Madrid standards. On my next visit to Madrid, I will be back to try the breakfast and baked goods :)

Looking for a place to eat on our last night in Madrid, Yelp came to the rescue. Even though there…read morewere not many reviews or photos, my gut told me to give this place a try. This was just a few minutes of walking distance from our Sonder suite. After shopping for 6 hours, we were famished. We walked in around 7:30pm. They were kind enough to turn on the lights up for us in the dining room and seat us (dinner usually starts at 8-10pm in Spain). Let me just say that service was a class act from start to finish. Here is what we ordered: My son: I am going to have the Cod Tripe. What are you ordering, mom? Me: the Oxtail Traditional My son: Oooh, I will have some of yours too. Me: of course you are. My son: you can have one of my tripe. Please know that most places will ask if you want bread. They will charge you for it. My son used the bread to soak up the Cod Tripe Soup. I loved the chickpeas and I am happy my son got to have tripe before leaving Spain. It was on his bucket list of things to eat here. Our waiter came by with complimentary gazpacho and omg, what a delightful treat. It was perfect on a hot summer day. It had bits of potatoes and pears. I wanted a whole bowl. I think this place is a hidden gem!! Surprised that there are not more reviews. The food was absolutely delicious. It had that homemade touch! Don't forget to order dessert. We got the Pineapple Presented in 3 Textures. It had coconut milk and sago on one side and cinnamon crumbles on the other. The pineapple had sprinkles of salt. The flavor profiles tickled my tongue. Perfect on this 88 degree day. Truly worth a visit!

We came here for drinks and tapas on a Friday night before meeting up with friends and got drinks: - Tom Collins - Margarita Paired with fresh fish based dishes: - Tuna tartar - Salmon Sashimi The tartar was amazing and the best I've had in Madrid (I've had it 3 times). Salmon sashimi was beautifully presented but it was not as soft and marinated as much i would have liked. My biggest gripe with this meal, and it is a small one. Is that the Tom Collins was not served in a Collins glass and could really use more ice. The drink was not as refreshing, and it was really very salty for my taste.
