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!

(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.

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.

¡Está muy bien! In…read moreEnglish, La Casa De La Cerveza literally translates to "The House of Beer." I'll call it LCDLC. I think the only reason I wanted to review this place is so that it stays on my Yelp and I can remember it forever -- and because I'd like to help other desperate souls living or visiting Spain find a good beer. I have to mention first that I am NOT a beer person, but a year or so ago my boyfriend introduced me to Belgian beer. I've been hooked since. I've been in Spain for almost seven months now (país del vino!) and haven't really had a great beer, except for two months ago when I had a chance to try some Allagash again. So delicious! Anyway, let me tell you a little story. I went to this Irish bar, Dubliners, in Madrid for Saint Patrick's Day and somehow the conversation with the waiter ended in Belgian beer. Dubliners didn't have any, but the good Samaritan of our server told us about a bar he knows. He suggested LCDLC. He didn't even know the actual name of the bar; in fact, he even thought that LCDLC was another Irish bar (it's rather international). He just told us the name of the metro (subway) we needed to take or walk to and search from there. So, imagine my boyfriend and I walking aimlessly, I guess you can say. After approximately 25 minutes, we arrived at Metro Bilbao and asked for "an Irish bar" in the area. They directed us towards an Irish dive bar (with horrible customer service, BTW) and we couldn't believe we walked almost 30 minutes for that. I just wanted to go back to Dubliners and kill that guy. But then I remembered he mentioned "Luchana" street. LCDLC was RIGHT by Metro Bilbao on Calle de Luchana, like the guy had said. There was nothing Irish about the look of the place -- it sort of reminded me of The Prohibition Taproom in Philadelphia and Kildare's -- but the variety of beers displayed by the windows confirmed it was the bar we were looking for. The beer menus is INTENSE, irresistible even to a non-beer lover like myself. We got there at about 4:30 pm and left at 7:00pm approximately. They also serve food (didn't have any though, so don't know what it's like). The servers were helpful and the bathroom were clean. That's always a plus. So yeah, I had some amazing Belgian beer. Definitely going back soon. :-) Note: to get to LCDLC from Atocha or Puerta del Sol, take the blue Line 1 to Piñar de Chamartín and get off at Metro Bilbao.

If you're not a beer lover, you'll still be taken care of. I'm not a beer fanatic but my boyfriend and I enjoyed the degustación of 5 different (nice quality) cañas for 10€. In addition to their large beverage menu, they've got a kitchen that serves up ...adequate food. We got the nachos and the special spring salad. They were nothing to write home about, but then again, it's not like you would go to the House of Beer and critique them heavily on their food selection. It says it all in the name. Come here for some nice imports that you haven't had in awhile. They also show all the futbol games on spacious screens!

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.

We had such high hopes for this neighborhood bar, a long subway ride out from where we were staying…read morein the center of Madrid, but it was not going to be a good experience. We got there early, around 7:30 and the bar only had one other table being used, but we sat at the bar so we could hopefully chat it up with the bartender or learn more about their offerings. While the bartender was 'nice' he didn't seem interested in helping us out when we were fumbling with the menu or chewing up the Spanish language while asking questions. The beer taps they had (7) weren't labeled with the same tap names as listed on the board, so that was very confusing, the bartender did take our first order but virtually ignored us until about 45 minutes later when the place was filling up and he was the only one cooking, serving and bartending. There were times when he wasn't busy and was chatting it up with another customer and didn't check on us even when he walked by several times. Yes, we've been to many European establishments before and know customs, etc. but he did wait on and check on other local patrons but never us. We just figured this was a real true neighborhood bar that caters to locals and maybe doesn't prefer to have outsiders (too much trouble?). Anyway, this place could be been great, 7 rotating taps and boasting over 100 bottled beers to choose from. We flagged him down and closed our tab and took a very long train ride back to the city and went El Pedal, which we really had a totally different experience (see new post for that).
