So good and lots of flavors mixed in this simple and elegant dish. We also splurged and ordered: Jamón Cinco Jotas. You can't go wrong ordering this famous aged cured ham, it's worth every penny. The restaurant itself is conveniently located in the plaza de Santa Ana square, its a little pricey but it's very nice and the servers are attentive. Great for large parties as there are private rooms in the back of the restaurant. The bathrooms are fun and modern, you have to place your foot on the pump located at the bottom for the water to pour out. Cool concept. I would recommend to have a couple of apps and relax in this nice restaurant.

The menu del dia was a great value and included appetizer, entree, dessert, and a glass of wine for about 15e. The food was pretty good but the server was the best I've had in Spain (or maybe any where in Europe). There is no menu, the server is the menu. When he started to speak we tried to keep up with our limited Spanish and he stopped and asked if we'd prefer he speak in English. My wife told him she was trying to practice her Spanish so he offered to do the menu in Spanish first and then English. He spoke at a great pace and very clearly and then started joking with us, half in Spanish, half in English. It was really a nice experience. While the menu del dia is a fantastic deal, I think I'd go of the menu next time. The gentlemen at the table next to us had a stunning meal of jamon, a Spanish fried cheese, and then a beef entree which was cooked with a blowtorch at the table. Envious I was.

Our bartender Jerardio suggested and ordered everything for us and it was all spectacular. Salmon tartare, baby squid and onions, and octopus carpaccio. He paired it with an incredible Albarino.

We showed up at about 7 because we needed to eat and get some sleep, but at 8 the place filled up with locals. We definitely think it's a a recommended stop and apparently the locals do too.

Best food in Madrid by far - we booked this as our special dinner in advance for our trip. The…read moreservice was impeccable, the food was fresh, and the wine was excellent. A few reasons why I would only give 4 stars: 1. They allow smoking outside. I understand in Europe this is common, but for a restaurant at this caliber I do not understand why it is allowed. We had to move seats unfortunately - originally we had an awesome spot outside but the table next to us was heavily smoking and blowing the smoke into the outdoor fans which kept coming right at us. For a fancy and excellent dining experience I do not think that should be allowed. The outside is gorgeous but I won't be risking it and sitting out next time for that reason. 2. My full glass of wine was knocked over by the manager when they came to check on us at the end of our meal. They lifted the menus from the table and the full glass split all over my dad. They actually tried to charge me for the glass until my dad said something when we got the bill. He was drenched in red wine.

The outdoor patio of Numa Pompilio is one of the most romantic and prettiest outdoor patios I've seen. It's so pretty, you need to pay to sit out there!! The restaurant inside was super luxurious as well. The food here was incredible, even the starts of mortadella and assorted breads (also costs money even though they just bring it to you). We got burrata, different pastas, and tiramisu that they make in front of you. This was truly an incredible experience. It is expensive but it's worth it for the experience and quality of food & drink. The service was impeccable too, they were super attentive and professional. If you want phenomenal Italian food in Madrid, this is your spot!

It instantly took me back to Venezuela, where I had it many times growing up -- pure comfort food, the kind that brings memories with every bite. The tequeños were light and crispy, not oily, and clearly made with care. The numpias were another favorite, crunchy, flavorful, and even better dipped in soy sauce, which adds a subtle Asian twist without taking away from what makes them special. The sliders were just ok. What truly completes the experience is the attention. It's warm, natural, and welcoming, making you feel at home without trying too hard. Murillo Café delivers authenticity, nostalgia, and genuinely good food.

We started off our trip in Madrid sad because we weren't able to find good food or sangria…read more I research restaurants that are open in Madrid on January 1st and this place popped up so we decided to try it. I'm so so glad that we did! First off, we've been traveling for two weeks now, and the owners being able to speak English and Tagalog was a breath of fresh air. It made me feel at ease to be able to communicate. It's also nice that this place wasnt super busy. So I guess not a lot of people know about it? They were super hospitable and were courteous to let us know that they charge 20% extra since it's New Year's Day. First, the sangria was amazing. It has a good amount of alcohol in it and it has a nice sparkle to it. Then came the pulpo which was so so good! Then finally, the paella. The flavor has a great balance of salty and the savor of the seafood. It also has a good amount of seafood! Disclaimer: they do charge 1.50 euro extra for the bread that comes with it. As tourists, we had no clue but we were told it's customary here in Madrid. We left feeling a slight buzz and a happy stomach, thank you for making our last lunch in Madrid an amazing one! This spot is a hidden gem in Madrid!

It happened to be right next door to the Tablao we went to, so it was perfect to fill the gap between the show and dinner. We were able to walk in for the bar around 7pm on a weekday. Cocktails are served in very cool vessels, including one that is the face of Bad Bunny! - Heart of the garden: tequila based, with beets, so it's red, served in vessel resembling a human heart - The last relic: whisky and sherry based, smoky, balanced but stronger Drinks were complex and very cool in their presentation. If you don't want alcohol, they also have lots of mocktails. Our cocktails were only €13-14 each, which is a hot deal since by US standards (no tax, tip, health mandate). They have a full menu, but we were headed to dinner. Next time!

I did miss the classic tomato's (3.5/5) 2) potato omelette w truffles - this is their most famous dish and indeed it was excellent .
