Another fantastic vegan spot in surprisingly vegan-friendly Madrid. We stopped her for a leisurely…read morelunch and were impressed by everything we had. We shared the Chickweed, marinated asparagus, breaded artichoke and Romesco sauce appetizer (€9) to start, a wonderfully curated dish with perfectly breaded and fried artichokes (not too oily), impeccably marinated asparagus and some leaves (chickweed), with a fantastic Romesco sauce. Fantastic starter. Then we shared two mains -- the Bolognese Lasagna (€13) and Shimenji Mushooms Long Sandwich (€12.5). The lasagna was extremely decadent, smothered in smoked bechamel sauce -- the inside had seitan, some veggies, a passata (tomato) sauce, and served with some parmesan-like crackers. This was almost a bit too over-the-top, but in small amounts (split between two of us), it worked well. The sandwich was simple but excellent -- wonderfully textured shimenjis carry this dish, along with the vegan garlic mayo, fresh arugula and tomato. The bread was fresh and fluffy too. Very friendly service. Great place to hang out and enjoy a long, leisurely meal. Highly recommended.

Simple, basic, rich yet complex. I had the menu of the day. For just €12.50. For starters, there was a scramble tofu, just so rich in Delicious seasonings. Then for the main course I had grandma's lentils. Hearty and deep. And the Keylime dessert with a cream made of sunflower oil! The drink was watermelon water with cardamom. Give this place a try!

This was our first meal in Madrid. What a way to start. Absolutely fantastic. The first thing I…read morenoticed was the People Love Us On Yelp sticker outside. Promising so far. When you walk in it seems like a typical narrow bar with some tapas behind glass. At the end you head downstairs and the into the restaurant. The restaurant is divided into several rooms with tables. It was amazing how we kept going and kept seeing more rooms. How big is this place? The walls covered with all sorts of stuff. Finally we entered the main dining area. Our group of 14 fit perfectly. El Ñeru specializes in traditional Asturian dishes (Asturias is in northwest Spain). One of those dishes is the Fabada asturiana, a white bean stew). This is what I got. Hearty and delicious. Perfect for two people. They also serve dishes from other regions of the country. My wife went with a traditional Madrid dish, the callos a la madrileña. Also, hearty and delicious. Both dishes are heavy, you're gonna want a nap afterwards. The rest of the group was satisfied with their orders. Zero complaints. My son tried his first asparagus and liked it. Other favorites were the croquetas, pulpo a la gallega, and the oxtail. This is a must try. I agree with the Yelper love.

The stew is delicious and goes well with the bread basket they provide once you are seated. However, the pork sausage from the stew was extremely salty. Couldn't finish that.

And then sprinkled with spicy chorizo. 5/5 would recommend this place.

I am not completely sure why our waiter did not look happy serving us, maybe because we are Asian? He greeted the others and asking how they were doing, but when it came to our table, the man hardly had any smile on his face and not even a "de nada" when we said "gracias!" With that said, the food was honestly mediocre and quite salty. I understand most touristy places tend to have higher prices but please use that money elsewhere.

As a solo diner, they served ~all of the things I ordered in a half portion, which was super helpful for being able to try more items. The food was delicious. Don't skip the tomato salad, as it sounds like a dumb thing to order, but I swear these were the best tomatoes I've eaten... like ever. Honestly, everything I had here was amazing! You can't go wrong with any of the tortillas, and the yogurt and fig jam is a great choice for dessert if you want a bit of sweetness to finish off the meal, but nothing too heavy.

They had hard bread waiting on table which we got charged for though did not ask for them. The Foie gras bonbbons were good.
