    Jamon and queso plate
    Joyce A.

    A flamenco bar that served a very limited variety of tapas. Each table had a pitcher of cold sangria which was enjoyable but a tad sweet, also red wine. The flamenco performances were enjoyable but I wish we could have stayed for the entire night, but unfortunately our group had to leave right at the intermission. The tapas were pretty unremarkable and heavily touristy potato dishes - croquettes, fries and a layered potato and egg dish. Plus one ham and cheese plate. We had waiters come frequently and they were attentive until the full crowd of customers started streaming in.

    This was my first flamenco experience and it was amazing. I get it, I have nothing else to compare it to but the flamenco aficionados I accompanied verified my affection. The entire event, from the four course meal to the actual show, lasted a little over two hours. You can partake in the show without dinner; however, I suggest you enjoy the full experience. The entire event cost 65€ a person but don't worry it's worth it. Here's the set menu - drinks: sangria, wine, water, and assorted juices. - first course: salad, sliced jamón, and cheese. - second course: pincho tortilla, bread, and croquettes. - third course (main entree): green peas, fried potatoes, and tender cubed beef in gravy. - forth course: a slice of creamy cheesecake with strawberry sauce. All of the food was delicious and perfectly proportioned, and the timing of it all was seamlessly intertwined with the show. Know that this is an establishment that caters to tourists. The waitresses are extremely nice and speak English. The entire venue is large and seats more than what I've heard other venues do. The announcements are in Spanish and English and even the flamenco dancers speak English. Flamenco is incredible! At the end of the show, the flamenco dancers tell you, in both Spanish and English, a little about what they do and why. Flamenco is a mixture of passion, power, and grace. It's absolutely kid friendly; however, depending on the age they might get bored. What I found interesting is that these flamenco dancers neither rehearse together nor really know each other. The entire show is impromptu, which is unbelievable. Also, the dancers and musicians rotate weekly. Put all this together and you have a different show every time, even if it's the same performers. Overall, the entire experience was top notch. I will definitely be treating family and friends to this venue whenever they visit. If you live here or are visiting, you can't go wrong with this dinner and flamenco show. Enjoy!

    Really enjoyed a flamenco performance at the Carboneras. We booked at late performance for 42€, including 1 drink and some snacks. They also have packages including a meal. The performance lasted about 1:15 and featured 4 flamenco artists and a guitar soloist. The venue is small and intimate and service was friendly. It's located conveniently, a block from San Miguel Market. If you've never seen a flamenco performance you must. And I highly recommend the Carboneras.

    Our group had a wonderful time! The dancers are lively and engaging. Having drinks and tapas while enjoying Flamenco is a great way to spend an evening in Madrid. I loved the story the dancers told at the end of the show as well explaining why they do this amazing dance they love so much. I highly recommend!

    Show was amazing!! Didn't feel touristy. This was local and real flamenco. Tickets with dinner come with probably too much food and unlimited drinks. Wait staff was efficient. Flamenco was out of this world!

    My family and I had an amazing experience watching these passionate dancers do their thing. The emotion, expression and force of the dances was breathtaking. We were lucky enough to get seats directly in front of the stage, and my two older teenage daughters (both of whom are dancers) were enthralled by what they saw. So glad we decided to seek out this unique experience and enjoy a night of true Spanish culture right in front of our eyes.

    Went to this show with colleagues. It was great and they explained it's mainly improv at this show vs a theatre show. Some people just went for the show, we had the dinner as well which was good (appetizers, drinks, main dish, and dessert - well worth it I thought). Recommend booking in advance!

    This is a small venue and club centered around the art of Flamenco dancing. We went here one evening while in Madrid for a show. They serve dinner but you can opt just to pay for the show. With the show, you get a single drink. I had a soda, but several people had sangria and they all said it was extremely weak. If Sangria should be good anywhere, it should be good in Spain. The seating inside is pretty compact and some people had a hard time seeing over other people since we were seated at long tables. The Flamenco started with no explanation about the style of dancing, so if you are interested in the background, do a little research about it before you see a show. The performers (dancers and musicians) gave it there all. They were stomping and dancing around the small stage for about an hour. Each dancer had a slightly different style and a different costume, so that made it interesting. I was always interested in what the next dancer would do. They get a serious workout as they dance, as they were absolutely dripping in sweat. Overall, I enjoyed this experience. We paid about 30 € a person for the show and drink. It's something to do once, but I can't see doing this more than once. Go and see a Flamenco show while in Spain!

    ¡Olé!

    We ended our night out in Madrid with a Flamenco show at Tablao Las Carboneras. It's not a large venue, but it has a nice intimate vibe. Be sure to get there early to get a good spot by the stage. Our tickets included a drink. (alcoholic or non) Be sure to use the bathroom before or after the show. They consider it rude if you get up during the performance! Oh and it gets quite hot inside after all the people pack in! Dress up, but wear short sleeves if possible! The show was incredible! There is so much passion and intensity in their performance. The music is full of soul. A truly wonderful performance by talented artists. It was a perfect ending to our visit to Madrid!

    Great show full of passion and energy. Very well trained performance in authentic flamenco in a small club with drinks and tapas.

    Amazing show, amazing service, ok meal. I would highly recommend this show (just eat earlier at the near by Market).

    These people can put in a show and it was passionate to an extreme. Talking to the guitarist it's all improv, the guitarist bases his playing on what the signer does and then the dancers interpret this into a story with their dance. The "feeling" and emotion to which they dance really shows you how videos do it no justice. They also do dance classes for students on group tour here.

It is a great place to stop in for a drink and a quick bite, especially if you want something authentic and lively. When we visited, it was packed to the point where you were shoulder to shoulder with other guests and close enough to easily hear the party next to you. It adds to the charm if you enjoy that classic crowded European dining atmosphere, but it is something to keep in mind if you prefer more space.

    Angelita Madrid, tucked into the city's cozy Chueca neighborhood, is the shared invention of…read morevisionary restaurateurs David and Mario Villalón. Its cocktail venue is one of Madrid's most subtly invigorating places to drink. In a restaurant scene that is constantly reinventing itself, 'Angelita' doesn't chase trends. It defines its own universe. Finding the bar is part of the experience. Entering through the dining area upstairs, one is guided down an almost secret staircase to what might be called, Center Stage. This is where cocktail magic unfolds in a profound yet personal way. Instantly the house lights soften. A cacophony of curiously muddled voices rises and falls in palpable anticipation of what comes next. In a comfy blend of separate yet united, the bar and restaurant deserve their own spotlights. The menus evolve constantly. Angelita's wine list can reach five hundred bottles. The motif is as thoughtful, expansive, and provocative as the impeccable dishes with which it is paired. Oh, the food! So worthy of distinction, yet we will save it for another review. In the meantime, cherish a seat at the bar. It offers the most captivating view in the house: front-row access to the choreography behind the counter. For it is here where libation artists distill genius from wildly enchanting ingredients. Rather than relying on commercial bottles, Angelita cures and concocts its own spirits and infusions. Many elements are harvested from the family farm. They are rendered, blended, mixed, and tuned in exacting ways as much akin to science labs as gourmet kitchens. Fresh-milled breadworks, savory almonds, fragrant herbs, just-pulled vegetables, and hypnotic botanicals are part of the alchemy. Nothing is off limits if it adds texture, depth, or aroma. The room reinforces this point. Angelita's bar is assembled with a mad scientist's mindset: shelves lined with labeled jars of organic infusions; stainless-steel work surfaces burnished to a mirror-sheen; precision tools that appear to be of surgical grade; and beakers with rubber tubing. And then there is the centerpiece: a rotary evaporator, or "Rotovap", replete with condenser and flask. It is a serious instrument of culinary crafting that signals exactly what Angelita intends: Precision Perfection. The device allows distillation under vacuum at very low temperatures. In practice, this means Angelita can capture and condense fragile aromatics. Citrus peel. Basil. Rustic spices. Floral notes. All without cooking them into acidic bitterness or diluted dullness. What ends up in the glass is absolutely clean, vivid, and true to the original ingredients. Think: flavor in hi-def. Such standards carry through to presentation. The bar serves no ice in any of its drinks. Rather, cocktails arrive in exquisitely chilled glassware to avoid watering-down their preciously procured ingredients. Everything is measured on a digital scale, not rushed through casual pours and bar jiggers. Each offering is intentional. Deliberate. Repeatable. Yet nothing feels clinical because the result is raw and primal pleasure. After the first sip an all-sensory message is received loud and clear: 'This isn't an ordinary cocktail bar.' Angelita's drinks are born on the family farm, expertly developed in a working lab, and refined out in the open for all to witness and savor. Come ready to be mesmerized. Techniques will marvel. Flavors will enchant. Senses will exalt. At Angelita, craft meets captivation as mixologists explain the science that elevates liquid to Life.

When I found out I was coming to Madrid I had to book a table. First things first, my suggestion is book way in advance. This place fills up fast. My friend and I waited too long and the only seating we could get was at 11:15 PM. No big deal though there's plenty of places you can get a light snack in the surrounding area while exploring the city. Walking in, the architecture immediately hits you. Low ceilings, gorgeous old brick, tight dining rooms, it really feels like you stepped back in time. The whole atmosphere is elevated without being stiff. Staff was super friendly and made the experience feel smooth from start to finish. There's also apprently a really nice wine cellar at the bottom I overheard other patrons bragging about. Food wise, I will keep it real, it was good, just not my favorite meal in Madrid. The sangria was solid, definitely one of my highlights. The croquettes were fire. Crispy, creamy, exactly what you want. My friend's seafood casserole was actually really good too, I lowkey wish I went that route. Now the misses. The sautéed vegetables with Iberian ham didn't do it for me. The veggies needed seasoning bad, and the ham leaned a little too salty, so together it just felt off. The suckling pig, the signature dish, was good, but I was not blown away. If I find myself returning here, I would explore other options. After dinner, there was a little show and they let you keep a souvenir menu, which was a nice touch and made the night feel more memorable. Overall I had a solid 3.5 star experience rounded up to 4. Sobrino de Botín is history, it is iconic, and it is worth saying you have been. Just do not expect it to be the best meal of your trip. Hit Botín, soak it in, then go explore the rest of Madrid's food scene, because that is where things really start to shine.

The menu features a wide variety of traditional Spanish dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. Our T-bone steak arrived perfectly cooked, served with grilled peppers and sliced golden potatoes, it was simple, flavorful, and satisfying. The squid was also very good, but the standout dish was the asparagus in tempura with almond mayonnaise. Perfectly fried and incredibly light, it was absolutely outstanding. Another highlight was the homemade Iberian ham croquettes served with candied pepper sauce which were creamy and rich on the inside with a delicate crisp on the outside and a wonderful balance of flavor. To accompany the meal, we enjoyed a few glasses of Rioja Azpilicueta Crianza (Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo, 12 months aging, 2021). It was a bit on the dry side, but helped take the edge off the chilly wind while we sat outside enjoying a late lunch. The staff were friendly and accommodating, even indulging my enthusiasm for photographing the slicing of the Iberian ham. All in all, La Mi Venta delivered a fantastic, authentic Spanish dining experience with great food, good wine, and welcoming service in a charming setting. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Madrid.
