The owner Javier is extremely proud of his dishes and eager to share them with anybody that walks through the door. He was able to explain the dishes and hold conversation with me in English as well.

It's truly a hidden gem that provides one of the greatest dining experiences I've had in Madrid.

Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place for a family dinner, a meal with friends, or a special occasion. The value for money is excellent, and it's easy to see why this restaurant has such a great reputation. I highly recommend Restaurante El Sur to anyone looking for delicious food, exceptional service, and a memorable dining experience. We will definitely be back!

This is a spot that feels like a little bar but is actually more like a casa with some food items…read more Here, they are big on pig and there are Iberico hams located on and around the bar for easy access. If you are vegan, coming here will only piss you off. In fact, a vegan in Madrid in general is ill-advised. The setting feels historic and rustic with exposed brick and stone that appears to be centuries old. They seem to make everything (both food and drink) behind that cramped bar which explains why most of their menu items are cold, pre-made, or easy to assemble from short lists of raw ingredients. This does not mean that anything is bad. It just means it is like producing charcuterie in a dorm room bar. A large number of items involve Iberico Ham and one of the barmen is constantly shaving off thin pieces for service. In fact the freebie snack they send out from the kitchen had some Iberico ham and Manchego cheese on it which was a really nice warm up of what to expect. Over the noonish lunch hour, I was the only tourist in the place surrounded by many locals that clearly know about this spot. I liked those odds for assuring me of a genuine authentic experience. It was an accurate predictor. I'm not the most experienced when it comes to true Spanish tapas but this seemed to be a very genuine depiction of what the locals look for in a rustic Iberico ham experience. And frankly, even if it wasn't I can't find anything to really complain about. It was a cool historic setting, there was ice-cold vermouth from a tap, and I spent an hour shoving local Morcilla (blood sausage) and Iberico pig parts into my pie hole for the better part of an hour. It was a great experience any way you choose to look at it.

He only has naturally vivified wine and took the time to explain the difference. We had a lovely Spanish Cava and he offered a delicious taste of cheese and some bread.

If you like sherry, this is your place. It was packed with people around 9 pm on a Friday night…read more We bellied up to the bar, and asked the bartender what was good. He asked whether we liked soft or strong. We said strong (of course!) and ordered two glasses of the Amontillado (like in the Poe story, but not!). It was promptly delivered with a small complimentary bowl of green olives. We also ordered two of the anchovy on toast tapas (one of the best things I've had in Madrid so far), and a chorizo tapa with small crackers. Of course, we had to order another Amontillado to wash it down. All of this set us back only 16.60 euros, which is about the cost of one glass of wine back home in West LA. Not bad. Then it was off in search of garlic shrimp! This is a great little bar, and we plan to visit it again before we leave the city.
