We first discovered Edelweiss on a trip to Madrid several years ago; we enjoyed the food so much…read morethat we've made a point of going back on several subsequent trips, and each time the food was consistently excellent! Tip: The restaurant opens a bit earlier than most other dinner venues, so you should make a point of arriving early to avoid having to wait for seating. I'm not sure that the food here is 100% authentic German cuisine, but it's unquestionably high quality, well crafted, and very tasty. You can even find some vegetarian dishes on the menu, which I didn't see a lot of the last time I was in Berlin ;-) On our last visit, we shared some fried eggplant, creamed spinach, and a truly exceptional wiener schnitzel that was served with mashed potatoes, carots, and cauliflower. The portion sizes were very generous; so much so that we had trouble finishing everything - not that we didn't try ;-) I particularly enjoyed the fresh, complimentary loaves of bread that they serve here - right out of the oven!

Was supposed to try this place once during a quick trip to Madrid but after the first night,…read moredecided to return and cancel my other reservations. Was here late May of 2016. I don't speak Spanish but the head staff spoke English, service formal and solicitous. Nothing I ate disappointed. Herring appetizer and steak tartare were exceptional, as was the deer tenderloin. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough if you want a formal or romantic (Jacket required, tie optional) setting in a small comfortable dining room. A real bonus is they have a selection of vintage Rioja wines (and others) priced reasonably. Be sure and look at the "Other Vintage Page" before ordering a young bottle when a '56 might be a rare (and similarly priced) treat. I can't wait to return to Madrid, and dinner here once again is one of the main reasons.

This restaurant was GREAT. It was the first eating out experience I had in Madrid, it really rose…read moremy expectations for later restaurants. The portions are bigger, not American sized, but big for Madrid, you will notice this in the price and after you're done eating. I don't want to say it's authentic German food, because this would be my first, but, either way, it does what it does very well. The space is themed, the waitresses are dressed in wench outfits, pigtails and all, it's a fun experience. About the food: All so delicious! The ribs melt from the bone and to your mouth, the burgers are juicy and meaty, the sausage cooked just right, the beer goes down easy and the desserts are mouthwatering. You might not have enough room for dessert, but sharing is caring. I will go back any chance I get and recommend it always.

What a beautifully hidden little gem. I've been to Munich, Germany and the food at this restaurant…read moreis near perfect Bavarian style cuisine. The beer was the best in all of Madrid, way better than the typical Spanish piss style beer (mahou). The service could use a little help, but as soon as you get their attention they are very helpful. One of the best meals I've had in Europe, not just Spain. It's underground sort of, take the steps down by McDonalds and its the first restaurant on your left.

(por lo mismo pero en vaso de plástico, aunque ellos le llaman pinta, es el tamaño del doble de siempre). El motivo y en palabras textuales de la persona que me atendió, "Cuando hay eventos, el precio es éste", por cierto, entre risas. Si ellos consideran que el tamaño es mayor, vuelvo a insistir en que quiero un doble. Me dicen que sí, pero 3,5 euros a pesar de que en lla carta pone 2,5 euros. Totalmente denunciable pero lo dejo por aquí para que nadie pique en este timo. Hay muchos más bares en la zona en los que no realizan esta mala práctica.
