The service was friendly and welcoming, even to a non native speaker. I ordered the eggs Benedict with salmon and it was outstanding. I also had the yogurt with granola and fruit which was even better. Very close to a metro stop and easy walk by foot from many surrounding hotels and areas. Highly recommend for a slow, easy eat when you want to relax and take in a quiet, side part of the city.

Our experience was elevated from the start by our waitress Andrea, who was attentive,…read moreknowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. 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.

Absolutely wonderful. We've been in españa for 1w and started craving less salt, more fresh food…read more Had the beet hummus, Astor salad, salmon, steak, risotto, and croaker fish.

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.

I came here with a large group for lunch and we had great paella. They can do paella with chicken,…read morepaella with seafood, paella with chicken and seafood (which is what we did), etc. Our group wanted everything to be mixed in one big pan and the blended flavors worked pretty well. They do require 25 minutes for their paellas. The other items we got were also delicious: jamon iberico, mussels, and octopus. Lots of restaurants serve mussels or octopus, but L'Albufera prepares them at a higher quality. Even the desserts -- cava sorbet and passionfruit mousse -- had refined presentations and fantastic flavors.

Love this place, we have been here a few times over the years. A few of us went back in February…read more We ended up getting a Seafood Paella. The Paella was extremely good. Got to admit it though, our waitress "Mafe" was the best part of the experience. So friendly and fun to talk with, she made the experience complete. Back again on 10/23/23 and 11/09/23...can't get enough of this place. Food is always consistent and great. I had the anchovie appetizer , along with some Ibérico jamón, Sopa Pescado y Marisco, and finally Arroz Negro (my Favorite). Again the service is fantastic. Chef Enrique nails it every time. Maria Fernanda was friendly and happy as ever...

Well first I should say Google didn't tell us this is a vegetarian place. We got a reservation and…read morecancellation would have been 10 euro for each person. 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.
