Solomia (filet mignon) & Entricot (prime rib) for dinner. House made tiramisu for dessert ... impeccable quality cuts of meat cooked and seasoned with perfect execution. Staff also highly attentive. Even though we only have a few days in Madrid we will probably return to this location again before the end of our stay.

El Sur is a charming little spot in Madrid, tucked right into the wall of a narrow street. The…read morespace is very small and they manage to fit a surprising number of people inside, so you immediately notice how tight the squeeze is. It has that classic bustling tapas bar energy where everyone is close enough to feel like part of one big conversation. The food was the highlight. The clams were flavorful and fresh, the octopus was cooked beautifully and the paella was delicious. It is a great place to stop in for a drink and a quick bite, especially if you want something authentic and lively. When we visited, it was packed to the point where you were shoulder to shoulder with other guests and close enough to easily hear the party next to you. It adds to the charm if you enjoy that classic crowded European dining atmosphere, but it is something to keep in mind if you prefer more space.

If you have kids, they can go play in the playground in back. They have menus in English if you need it. The service is spectacular. We started with the octopus fiera, which was thinly sliced octopus seasoned and bathed in butter. It was outstanding, cooked right, not chewy. We had some empanadas fish and meat. They were both good, our daughter loved them. We also had a plate with steak, fries, and eggs. Sorry I do not know the name of the dish, but it was great. The meat was tender and seasoned well, the fries were a little oily for my taste, but the egg brought it all together. We finished with the French toast dessert. It was not bread as much as it seemed like a custard with a sugar topping, it reminded me somewhat of a creme brulee . Either way, it was divine. Great food, great venue, great service. This place is worth a visit.

Located just outside of Puerta de Sol.

For a savory entree, I recommend the oxtail stew: 10 pieces of delectable oxtails in a brown gravy sauce. This tasted more like a beef pot roast, rather than a tomato style gravy. The oxtails are paired with thick cut fries.

Traveling in Madrid alone, I wanted to treat myself to a good authentic Spanish meal and this place…read moreseemed to fit the bill. After doing some research, I found this place offered traditional Spanish tapas with a modern flair. I stopped in late, around 11pm but the place was lively. I loved the modern decor and would recommend this spot to tourists and locals alike! For dinner, I started with the "Alubia negra de Gernika con chorizo y piparras" which was a red soup with black beans and sausage. It was very tasty with the bread that was served warm with my meal. Afterwards, I got the "Albóndigas de Buy Carbonara con Guanciale, pecorino rallado y yema de huevo" - which were some of the best Albondigas I have ever tasted. Seriously GET THEM, even if it is just to share. They were so good I wanted to go back the next night and get them again. This would be a great date night spot or place to celebrate a birthday. The staff was extremely professional and help (they suggested I order a 1/4 portion of the soup because of the size, which was very helpful). LaKsa was pricey but I think the cost matched the experience. If I have the chance, I will definitely come back.
