A really cute place to have a light breakfast or just an afternoon snack. You should go just for the atmosphere. It's cozy and eccentric. It's very reasonably priced and it's great quality. The owner is very friendly and speaks English very well. He was more than happy to translate some of the menu items. They make good coffee and the croissant I had was delicious. It wasn't overly greasy, and the balance between sweet and savory was perfect!They have a bunch of interesting juices you can chose from like mandarin orange and rosemary, and pear and lemon. It's really conveniently located so there's really no excuse to not stop by. read more

What a nice way to end a visit to the Reina Sofia Museum of Modern Art. This is a tiny, cute informal place with about 6 tables and seating for about 20-25 (not including the two small sofas around the used books and games collection. Run by two gents, one in the kitchen and an ultra-friendly one in front, they offer a small selection of delicious starters, mains, and desserts on an unwritten price-fixed menu that can change daily, and make you feel as if you're eating in your friend's dining room. read more

Matilda - Best tortilla ever and wonderful Spanish IPA - Cafeteria Near Me - Madrid, M

Very cute cafe on a side street off Paseo del Prado. I went in around 9 am, I was the only one that. The waiter was very attentive and didn't mind that my Spanish was horrible. He recommended the olive cake which was amazing. The cappuccino was very good as well. The decorations are cute and it has a great atmosphere with couches and a mix of chairs. They also played great music (one song was even Christmas-y)! read more

Super cute cafe with great cozy ambiance. The food was very tasty and the gentleman serving us was very kind.

Go here! The food is delicious and inexpensive. More importantly, the service is excellent. One lovely man, with a grade is disposition, speaking Castillion Spanish very slowly so that everyone understands what he's saying, whether tourist or not. read more

I absolutely love this place. They have a few menu options that you choose from depending on the day, and the food is fresh and delicious.

Ate here with my family of 5 after landing in Madrid and waiting nearby for our train to Seville. Once we came back to the city, we came back for another breakfast because the first time was so great. Delicious pan con tomate and manchego and ginger/lemon juice. Whoever was whistling in the back while cooking was a maestro - sounded like a Disney movie. read more

This little coffee/restaurant is great ! The service is fast, really friendly and good. We ate some tortillas, magdalenas and drank coffees. It was absolutely delicious and super cheap! Matilda is really close from Atocha's station its a great stop if you want to visit the museums around. read more

This is a cute little place, but is really only good for coffee or a drink, not much else. Listing it as a breakfast/lunch place is a little misleading. Go someplace else if you need a more substantial meal. read more

Great place near musuem prado! Cute small breakfast and great coffee. Great service and food! Recommended!

such an incredible find for breakfast! we are traveling in Madrid with our two toddlers and the staff here were incredibly gracious and accommodating. they even have a collection of toys for kids. the food was delicious. the service was kind & quick. we will definitely return the next time we are in Madrid! read more

This little out-of-the-way place with the decor of eclectic knickknacks is very special, because of its exceptional owners, and they're very personable service. I had the toast with tomato and Iberic ham, which was delicious, while my wife had a toasted croissant, which she said was excellent and freshly squeezed orange juice. I also had 2 cups Lavazza café con Leche, always great! Tomorrow morning, we are going for a second breakfast and if we were staying longer we would continue to have our breakfast at Matilda's. read more

Nice and cozy little place to go for coffee, lunch or drinks and tapas. Super friendly service. The lentil and chorizo stew/soup is delicious! read more

Cozy place. Friendly guy behind the counter. Delicious food. 1940s music playing. And I unexpectedly found a pair of wool elbow-length dress gloves for €2 - they have a carefully curated selection of vintage items. Amazing kick off to my first day in Spain! read more

This little cafe was a perfect stop for my husband and I. We were exhausted.. and this cafe was what we needed to recharge. Service was welcoming and pleasant.. the ambiance was nice and comfortable. The food was simple yet delicious. Music playing was great..my favorite classics. All around wonderful. Worth a visit to Matilda Cafe in Madrid. It's a walk away from Atorcha metro/train station. Highly recommend and Would come again. read more

A very lovely and sweet place, the interior looks very well hand picket and neatly installed. You can read a book, buy a picture or other hand-crafted things or just enjoy the delicious food and drinks. We had a meal combo for lunch, with coffee and desert for 9€ which was a good deal. The owner was very and and playful with our two-year old. We liked it a lot. read more

This is great little cafe in Madrid. It's off the beaten path which is where usually the best places are. Very unique decor vintage decor and great service. The guy was very friendly and did speak english if you need it. The cafe con leche was the best we had in Madrid and the food was delicious. We did come here twice during our stay in Madrid because we liked it so much. My husband ordered the toast with tomato paste and jamon and I ordered cheese instead of jamon and was very happy. Also the orange juice was fresh. And I mean fresh, probably squeezed right after we ordered it. read more

Lovely cafe! The man working was very friendly as soon as I walked in. He also spoke English very very well. I had the meal of the day which cost 12€. I went with the Spanish omelette, ham & potatoes, white wine and banana cake. I was pleased with the meal. The cafe itself is comfortable and cozy. Also good for small groups. I came from the Reina Sofia museum and it wasn't a long walk. read more

This is a gem for breakfast and lunch. Although hidden and small, it packs culture and great vibes into the space. The food is delicious and affordable. Additionally, the servers are attentive but not overbearing--we never felt rushed. Definitely stop in for a relaxing brunch with a friend or two. read more

Stopped in this morning and fell in love with this little cafe! I had a cafe con leche, my aunt had green tea. The tea was served loose with a tea pot and a strainer. It was not only delicious, but adorable! We then shared some breakfast. I ordered the tostada with tomato and olive oil. It comes with two slices of salami/ pork of some sort. It had two slices of bread, all the more perfect to share! She ordered the tortilla. It was amazing!! Get there early before they run out, we got the last piece this morning. It is served with a small salad and a piece of bread. The salad balanced the tortilla so well. I highly suggest it! we also saw someone order the yogurt parfait and it looked great if you are looking for a more "low carb" breakfast! Stop in, it's the perfect spot to spend a cold winter morning! read more

This was bar far the most delightful little cafe we found in Madrid (so far). Menu del dia is the waiter's grandmother's recipes and the service is super-friendly. The decor is like somebody's extended living room with tiny tables (no big groups) and mismatched chairs. Food was terrific- melon tomato gazpacho the surprising hit of the lunch. read more

This is one of the best breakfast place I had while in Madrid. The place is cute and cozy and has this neighborhood coffee shop feel to it. The food was very good- we ordered the tomatoes toast, Spanish omelette, cafe con leche, olive oil cake. Everything is the typical Spanish breakfast, it's so simple yet very tasty. I would say the food is on the mild side, which was perfect for me since I don't like my breakfast so heavy. The waiter also speaks English, so it's great for traveler like me who don't speak Spanish. read more

This was a great little lunch stop for us. It's in a wonderful neighborhood, filled with locals, the food was very good and the price was just right. The waiter was extremely friendly. This is your place if you don't want to see a whole lot of tourists. read more

I can't comment on the food, but the place was crowded with locals on two seperate occasions. Yes, two. It would be nice if they at least posted its hours somewhere for the masses to view. The first time I visited, I arrived at 4:15 to be told they close at 5:00, so the kitchen stops serving at 4:00. The next day, on my way to wait in the ridiculous free line at the Prado, I get there at 3:55 to be told, the last order is taken at 3:30, because the kitchen closes at 4:00, because remember they close at 5:00. En serio??? Please join the rest of us in the 21st century and put this info on a website or on the door at least. 2 stars for the really nice guy, that told me no twice. He was patient enough to walk me to the door and recommend two other places that was still open and actually serving food. read more

This place was misleading as a "Breakfast/Lunch" place with a really limited menu (no menu card provided). We had to go fill ourselves up to an actual breakfast/brunch place read more

Solid breakfast spot. The food is great. Coffee is on point. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and need breakfast!

Great food, great service! The place's atmosphere is very chill and ideal to enjoy the food! Would definitely come back!

They told me you need reservation, don't know if that was true or if they have a strictly admission policy (not for backpackers) anyway there are a lot of nice coffee (friendly) places around the area read more

Matilda is terrific. The restaurant is cozy, the food is tasty, and the service is very friendly. An all around great place for breakfast.

My wife and I showed up around 12:15 and asked to sit at the counter. My wife speaks fairly decent Spanish. After 3-5 min a man told us in English that they were stop serving food at 1:30. He proceeded to tell us that there was a McDonalds down the street for tourists. Clearly he didn't want to serve us. Super rude in my opinion. Another restaurant can get my tourist money. We went to La Infinito down the street and had a great meal. read more

Do yourself a favor and stop in here for some breakfast. We had the Spanish omelette with a side salad and bread, and ordered a piece of one of their cakes, I think it was kiwi and apple. The food was delicious, the coffee was hot, and the atmosphere was relaxing. read more
