Bait band switch don't go. Says one thing on the menu and upped it by 10 euros and then dydht give change . Tipped himself

We stopped here for lunch between our visit to the Cathedral and the Royal Palace. It's slightly off the main tourist track, and you could tell by the quality. We really enjoyed the salmorejo, a cold tomato cream dish served with a slice of tuna. It was fresh, flavorful, and a perfect light lunch during a day of sightseeing. read more

So happy to have found this special place after our visit to Museo Reina Sofia. Delicious homemade food in the quaintest setting. They have a menu of the day, with a meat/vegetarian option. Service was great, and we left full and happy! One of my favorite dining experiences in my travels to date! read more

Everything about this little place was wonderful. It's very small w only a few tables inside. Feels like you're in someone's living room. The food was delicious and worth the wait. Make sure to get the hot chocolate whatever you do. Outstanding. read more

Sadly, a very disappointing experience. They were understaffed, just one person working the front, and one person working the kitchen. We had four orders and each one was wrong, but by then we'd waited for an hour, so we ate what we got and left. It was 40 Euro for 4 toasted croissants and hot chocolates. The woman working the front was trying hard, but the whole experience was frustrating. read more

A charming cafe! I was looking for a restaurant to dine at after visiting the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. It's just a 5 minute walk. Matilda is a very small cafe so we came at a time when some seats were available. The menu was prix fixe including a starter, entree, dessert, beer or wine, and coffee/tea. There's one server for the whole establishment. Everything I ate was excellent. I enjoyed seeing all the postcards that decorated the walls. I would recommend dining here and it's a great memory I have from my visit to Madrid. read more

Small cozy spot away from the touristy area, a bit of a walk from where we were located. When we got there there was a wait, about three groups ahead of us. Small spot with very little seating available. I suggest getting there early so you can grab a table. The authentic Spanish potatoes and eggs are a must, and of course can't miss the awesome coffee read more

Truth be told, I came looking for another restaurant. It was closed so I found Matilda by chance. I enjoyed a light and delicious breakfast with great decor/vibes. If you wake up late, like I did, it's okay because there menu is served all day. read more

Matilda - Pan con tomate, tortilla, croissant, y cafe con leche - Cafeteria Near Me - Madrid, M

Super cozy little spot near Caixaforum and the big 3 art museums! The lunch menu del dia is great for 12 euros (3 courses & drink). Note that lunch service starts at 1:15pm even though they are open earlier for breakfast/coffee. The server I had was friendly and warm. He spoke Spanish, English, French and Italian to guests! He asked if I could understand Spanish or if I prefer English. Seems like a small thing, but I really enjoy practicing Spanish and am always a bit disheartened when people here immediately switch to English so it was nice! There's no physical menu written anywhere except outside, so he just lists all the offerings and you can choose. The food is very simple and home style with typical dishes from different parts of Spain. I had stuffed red peppers with cream cheese and tuna, typical of Navarra. For the main, I had "patatas con chorizo" which was backsliding mashed potato with sausage mixed in. The apple cake I had for dessert was so tasty - moist, not too sweet, real apple bits. It's pretty much like having a Spanish auntie or uncle cooking for you. Do not expect anything fancy or big portions, and you'll enjoy it. The drink included in the set lunch can be wine, beer, pop, juice, water, coffee, or tea. Service is leisurely but efficient. I was in and out in an hour. It's a good place if you want to sit down but don't want to get stuck in a super slow drawn out lunch (which sometimes happens in Spain...). read more

My friend really liked this place the last time she went since this place has really authentic Spanish food and a rotating seasonal menu so she brought me here. She wanted to get some bean soup but apparently it's a winter menu thing. The ham we got was SO salty. Not sure if this is how it is traditionally supposed to be cooked, but it was so salty you could literally crunch on the salt rocks. It was the most disgusting ham I have ever eaten. Everything else was only okay. The pear juice though was really good. The tangerine juice just tasted like orange juice. They have cute decor on the inside with postcards from all over. read more

My friend and I were recently in Madrid for a few days and Matilda was down the street from our apartment building. We walked by a few times and commented on how cute the space looked before we stopped by for a glass of wine. The space is absolutely adorable, warm and inviting. The staff made us feel right at home and like long lost friends. We liked Matilda so much that we went back several times and even visited for brunch (which was delicious). Be sure to have the carrot cake pancakes! read more

Adorable, cozy cafe. Fresh, homemade food. Very vegan friendly and well priced. €12.50 for appetizer, entree, desert, wine or beer, and coffee. Close to the museums (especially Reina Sophia). Had the menu del dia and chose a melon & tomato gazpacho, cous cous with veggies, and fresh local cherries. All delicious. This was the only place I went with my omnivore family (lots of non-vegan options) that had multiple, substantial vegan options that allowed me to get a taste of the local cuisine and ingredients. read more

Small cafe close to the museums, prix fixe menu, choice from 2-3 first courses, 3-4 second courses, dessert, glass of wine or beer, and a coffee with dessert. Inexpensive (14€), especially for the quality of the food. read more

excellent brunch spot- very cheap for the food and excellent service from the staff. definitely recommend and will definitely return

Perfect spot if your looking for a break from the typical "meat+cheese+bread" Spanish lunch but still want to feel the warmth and quality of what Spain has to offer (and dine in a local's spot). There is a daily menu written on a chalk board and you can do a starter + main for a set price that includes a drink (including beer or wine) and dessert and coffee (€12 as of this writing) or a 1/2 lunch (just starter OR main with all the other items) for €9. The vibe is super comfortable, but it is small and fills up around 2 pm. The waiter was great, and offered suggestions in both English and Spanish. The bread they serve is baked in a wood-fired oven and is definitely the BEST bread we had in Spain and the only bread I have had in Spain that would hold a candle to a typical French or Italian bread. Food portions and quality was just right, and gave us a welcome respite from the overly heavy food we've been eating all week! I had the tomato and cheese salad to start and the Tortilla de patata as my main, my wife had the braised chicken which was incredibly flavorful, and others enjoyed the "Ensalada Matilda" which was a light salad of greens with tomato and various seeds sprinkled on top. An easy 10 minute walk from the Prado that gets you away from the over-priced places in that neighborhood. HIGHLY recommended! read more

Super friendly service and delicious food , we enjoyed an American style bfast - not alot of tables. We got in on the second day of trying. Worth it read more

This place does not get enough love! Absolutely cute and a great price for prix fixe menu that changes every day! We ordered the omelette and salad to start, my bf had the sausage and potatoes, I had ham and potatoes. Finished off with tiramisu, banana bread with chocolate and finally coffee. I ordered the coffee with soy milk, they gave me regular milk but I hadn't noticed yet! He came right over to tell me and made another with soy. Awesome attention to customer service. read more

For lunch, they offer a 3-course pre-fixe. You can choose among 3 apps, 2 main entrees and a few desserts all for 12 euro. I had the cold melon/ham soup - sounds odd, but it was really good. For my entree, I had the ham with potatoes (kind of an eating theme for me in Spain). That was also very tasty. For dessert, I had the apple pie (their version) and that was decent tasting too. The owner was very friendly and the place is cozy and comfortable. read more

Although located near the Prado and the tourist area in Madrid, this small coffee shop/breakfast place isn't at all like the overpriced so/so cafes that are typical of the area. The coffee is great and you choose from the traditional café (espresso) or a more American style coffee. The food is also very good. I got a jamón and queso croissant and it was delicious and filling. The staff is friendly and patient, and the prices are very reasonable. This is must stop before you hit the town for site seeing. read more

Is it a comfy, homey place, like a living room as one reviewer put it - sure! But I think the record needs to be set straight on how useful it is in meeting your dietary needs before setting out for a day of 10k death marching. It's good for a coffee, maybe a juice. Croissant did not make the grade: it was too sweet, too bready, not flaky. I question whether it was even made in-house. Sandwich on a croissant also disappointed. Walk a few blocks away to a proper bakery and you will have 40x the selection at less cost. read more

Absolutely wonderful lunch. Just a few tables with few dishes prepared for the day. Great food, great service and great ambience!

The day my fiancé and I flew into Madrid to start our European adventure, our close friend from New Jersey was spending her last few hours there before flying home. With just a few hours between our flights, we decided to meet up for a quick breakfast at Matilda. This cafe is extremely small but very charming. At 10:00am, it was a full house but luckily we were able to find a couple benches in the back corner. Our waiter (and perhaps the owner?) was prompt in greeting us, taking our orders and bringing out our food and drinks. I had a tomato toast and washed it down with a glass of rosemary juice. Although the toast was good, the juice definitely stole the show. It was so unique and fresh. Looking back, I'm actually surprised I didn't order a second glass! I'm very pleased with my first dining experience in Madrid and love that I have a cool story behind it - to meet a close friend from home in a café across the world! Who can say that?! :) read more

Absolutely adorable restaurant in the cutest area of Madrid. This happened to be right next to our Airbnb, so we came here not once but twice in our two day stay in the city.

Highly recommend stopping by this little hidden gem. read more

Simply put, I love this place. I've gone for breakfast several times by myself, and once with friends. I also recommend it to friends who ask if I know any nice, inexpensive places to eat in Madrid. And everyone has loved it. If you are a woman traveling alone, don't worry about going in here. You will be greeted and served quickly, patiently and politely. And with a smile. I think the waiter must be the owner, and he clearly takes pride in his little restaurant. The food is always good---I love their tortilla---the atmosphere lovely and relaxed. The eclectic chairs, tables, artwork and even books add to the quirky charm. Please give it a try! read more

Cute little cafe with excellent service, super hot tea, and the pear and lemon juice was yummy. The zucchini soup was just okay and the croissant with ham and cheese was unfortunately burnt on the bottom. The guy servicing the front was most friendly, efficient, and why I gave this place three stars. read more

Awesome environs of casual and intimate is your thing. Feels like eating in someone's living room having a party. Very social, comfy couches, great library of books available, decent Albariño options and amazing prices. I went for house salad, warm ham with olive oil and potatoes and a glass of wine. Snacks really and pear chocolate cake to finish so I can recharge for the night. I'd say get here early though as they sell out of options by night's end. read more

What a cool looking small intimate cafe with a wonderful host/server. His English was very good so it made ordering lunch extremely easy. We got to use Wifi which was excellent. Artwork was also very interesting. Lunch came as 3 courses. I got to taste the melon soup with ham which was unbelievable, and the potato omelette was delicious. Second course - cooked ham with paprika was tender and amazing, and I tasted the very delicious cuddle fish soup, that was perfect to dip the freshly baked bread. Olive oil cake and Apple cake with coffee-mmmm. Lovely place read more
