    Grilled Veal Tenderloin.
    Dave P.

    Our guide recommended El Paraguas to us. It was fantastic! The outdoor setting is very comfortable. The service was impeccable. We shared all the dishes, salad and two mains. Sadly, I only have one photo, 1/2 of the grilled veal tenderloin. The green salad was well dressed, fresh and crisp, butter lettuce, tomato carrot, onion. We split the Asturian stew, classic version. Wow, delicious, white beans, chorizo, sausage and pork in a tomato broth. We finished with sharing the veal. Tender, well seasoned, just terrific. If in Madrid, we highly recommend El Paraguas!

    Usually this is 5/5 for me, yet this time something was off. Anyway the food and service were almost as great as usual, and ambiance m/decor is still beautiful. Sure it was one off and it sill usually keep being 5/5.

    I would highly discourage anyone from eating at El Paraguas while visiting Madrid, despite the oddly high ratings. Clearly the customers who have reviewed this restaurant do not understand what good food actually tastes like. El Paraguas does serve some excellent scallops, and that's about the end of my compliments. The fish entrees are only decent, the appetizers are atrocious, and the sorbet arrives completely melted like it's a drink. Our confirmation email from the restaurant clearly stated that we were confirmed for 7:00 p.m., but upon our arrival they claimed our reservation was for 8:00 p.m. (even after showing them their own email). The hostess acted like she didn't enjoy working there anyway. Beyond paying high prices for mediocre food, the service is absolutely horrible! At least three waiters acted like they didn't really want to be there, and the service was a reflection of that. Patrons paying these prices deserve excellent service and that did not happen. Even from the beginning after being seated, we waited 30 minutes before anyone even arrived to take our order, and that should never happen in an upscale restaurant. The water glasses went empty at least six times, and that's a cardinal sin in a nice restaurant. Servers are typically trained not to let that happen. Eating became very uncomfortable with nothing to wash down the food. At other pricey restaurants in Spain, the water glasses didn't go empty even once. The wait staff speaks less English than our hotel housekeepers, so that was a struggle, and especially strange since there were predominantly Americans and Canadians in the restaurant. Just avoid this experience altogether and pick a different restaurant. It's our #1 disappointment of any restaurant in Europe!

    Enjoying the elegant restaurant area in the back of the building.

    The restaurant offers an elegant and formal ambience with a great atmosphere and professional and customer service driven professionals in the food industry. Furthermore, the food was delicious, on time and very well presented. Highly recommend it!

    Maravilloso restaurante , su especialidad comida asturiana. El único problema para los que vivimos en USA es que no estamos acostumbrados que nos digan que tenemos que ir a las 2 horas. Así que no sobre mesa en este restaurante

    Merluza yay!!

    Super elegant. The service is top notch. The atmosphere is elegant. The decor a mix of old and new. The fish from northern Spain, Asturias is called rapè was fabulous. The chips were yummy. The wine list is wonderful.

    The terrace is so nice. The staff is friendly and the service is fast for madrid. Overall the food was good. They started off by giving us a Gazpacho de fresa: not my thing, I prefer the original flavor. Definitely try the mushroom appetizer, it was delicious ! The arroz negro is also very good. I would recommend this place for lunch and likely dinner. It is on the higher end side, plates ranging between 25-40 euros each. Only negative comment- The have put the menu codes on their hand sanitizer bottles. I absolutely hate this! The bottle at our table was leaking everywhere and it was very difficult for us to take a photo of the menu without getting liquid all over us.

    F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C I ate dinner here for the second time while vacationing in Madrid. We were a larger party of 8 and I tried many plates... Bread & olive oil 4+/5 Artichoke hearts in oil appetizer 5+/5 delicious! Cigalitas salad 4/5 (well prepared cigalitas rest of salad ave) Tomato buffalo salad - I heard it was great! Terrific entrees, especially the fish! Pasta with almejas 4/5 good, not great - maybe overpriced? Cocochas merluza 5+/5 very special plate :) Lubuna W/artichoke 5/5 Solomillo (steak) medium, it was juicy (w/out truffle) 5/5 Desserts are magnificent! La reina de Saba (chocolate...) 5+/5 Tarta Manzana added Ice cream 6/5 (probably the best apple tart I have ever had!! Arroz Con leche 6/5 absolutely fantastic!! Heard good things about tarta Rosita Floating islands version and fig desserts a tad on the sweet side (I recommend others better) Service is very friendly... Ambiance is superb!!!!!! Btw, I ate a "ten con ten" (same owner-chef) like that restaurant as well - but I had a better overall experience here! Highly recommended - Expensive, but worth it - you get what you pay for! Best meal(s) I had in Madrid in a very long stay!
