When I described the flavor profile I was looking for, she selected a wine that was absolutely perfect for the occasion. The bread, baked in house and served fresh, paired beautifully with the olive oil. We started with a melted cheese and tomato appetizer before moving on to a fish entrée and a standout special of braised scallops in the shell. We finished on a high note with a brownie and ice cream, and the amaretto sour we ordered was delicious. The ambiance was romantic in the restaurant, great place for a date, special occasion or for a classy occasion.

First time in Madrid - this place had a great vibe and atmosphere! Our waiter was quite helpful and…read morefriendly and made us feel welcomed Started off with drinks - margarita & Bloody Mary which were both decent. I personally preferred the margarita over the Bloody Mary as it tasted overwhelmingly of tomato juice (and little of anything else) Food - La bomba is meat (beef, pork) filled potato and it was yummy, probably my fave of all the tapas we tried. Chicken dumplings had a nice crisp and nice sauce but taste was just OK. Tacos were quite good! Nice flavor and creative presentation with the sauce in the pipette for you to pour. Lastly was the salad made of fresh arugula, beets, tomatoes, peppers - a great end to the "meal" and ironically was the warmest thing we got. Other tapas served lukewarm.

tl;dr - Most dishes were not well cooked, decent flavor. Slow service for a slow day…read more Came on a Tuesday evening and it was pretty empty. I had a reservation made but was definitely not needed. We ordered the shaved foie gras, pork shoulder, king prawns and the grilled squid. Foie Gras - It was interesting. It was drizzled with a sweet balsamic vinegar. Tasted alright, nothing super memorable King Prawns - This was actually pretty good. Really refreshing taste and mouth feel. It had apple slices, avocado sauce and some jalepenos. Grilled Squid - This was decently flavorful, wouldn't say it's the freshest squid. This took 30 minutes after the appetizers were finished to come out. Pork Shoulder - This was bad. Period. The piece of meat was not only overcooked, but unevenly cooked. You can visibly tell the bottom was cooked for significantly longer. It was hard to chew. Service - All fluent in English which was convenient. Not the most attentive, most were just hanging out by the bar. I had to go up to the bar to ask for the bill. And again, food took a very long time to come.

We arrived a little late for a table outside & they will take reservations but were seated promptly & with a kind welcome indoors around 10 pm. Unfortunately there were only 2 of us, my daughter & myself & not overly hungry so we only ordered 3 dishes. We were served an amuse Bouche of calamari with tartar sauce, not sounding like much in English but arriving in the smallest of ramekins with a ring of sweet red onion-perfect. A glass of Rioja helped with the richness of our appetizer croquetas de carabineros con aioli (shrimp coquettes) amazing flavor & perfect without oil & with aioli ! Raviolis de calabaza con mantequilla de salvia ( squash raviolis in sage butter) were delicate pillows made with unbelievably thin ravioli and a filling that was phenomenal. Steak tartar de buey cortado a cuchillo con mayonesa de wasabi (tuna tartar with mango salad & wasabi mayo) perfecto !!!

However, when we realized it is vegetarian they kindly told us they won't charge us if we leave but they strongly believed we will love it if we stay so we stayed. The starter was truly amazing. It was 4 pancakes with some pumpkin, beets, hummus and nut paste that was unbelievable But the main courses were only ok. Maybe because we really craved meat I mean don't get me wrong hummus is nice but it's not steak The tortellini was good but the mushroom really was just meh. The place had a beautiful ambiance, clean and friendly.

I recommend making a reservation if you are going to try this place out. I did not have one, but they were able to accommodate me as I was there earlier in the evening than most people in Madrid eat, and I was by myself. The staff was very kind. It is a small restaurant with cute, cozy tables, and great views looking out over the street to people watch.

This is a veryyyy small cafe/breakfast spot. Make sure to get reservations or go at a not busy time…read morein order to get a seat. There were probably only 20 or so in the whole place. 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 :)

The burrata was amazing with the truffle oil and salt, and the three types of tomatoes complimented the dish perfectly. The butterfish carpaccio was a top 5 dish I ate while in Spain. The fish was melt in your mouth. This was the first time I've had wasabi ice cream and it was AMAZING. The Spanish quesadilla was very good - blood sausage mixed with onion, cinnamon, and a sweet syrup. The best mix of savory and sweet. The Iberian pizza was alright. Can have way better in America. Didn't taste the ham. Needed some spice and didn't get it. The Japanese gyoza were very regular. The tuna tataki was good but nothing great. I think the sesame and seaweed were the stars and that's not what you want in a tuna dish.

You have the option between a bowl and a pita for both, and all the proper accoutrements for a proper falafel. The hummus is exactly what you want and the tahini is to die for.

We had not had lunch and have travel all over Madrid today and thought a quick bite of Mediterranean food sounded good. We went inside to find one lady behind the counter working by herself. She is a machine! We were given an English menu and looked around to see what others were eating. I ordered the falafel pita with hummus, tahini, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, spice, pickles and tumeric sauce. This pita was stuffed and it took both hands to eat. My wife ordered the hummus bowl with tahini, onions, chickpeas and olive oil. A perfectly warm, fluffy pita was also included. The falafel balls were great and flavor packed. It took all my energy to finish this packed pita. The tumeric and carrots were a different taste and enjoyable. A good choice. The hummus bowl with soft chickpeas were delicious. Hummas is always great with a warm pita. Again, the value was also good especially for the generous portions. Looking for good value and tasty food, do yourself a favor and stop at Falafeleria at lunch. To the young lady behind the counter, great service and thank you.
