They probably prefer it that way because the quiet vibe appeared to be part of the ambiance they're seeking here. We just found it by chance on Google Maps as an alternative to the beef-heavy eateries in the neighborhood. We just felt a need to eat healthier. The menu was small and appetizing, and we treated ourselves to two 3,5€ glasses of Zafra Blanco, a crisp Spanish white wine that freshened our palates. We started our meal with a complimentary helping of a "creamy" beetroot dip accompanied by lightly crisped pita chips (Photo 7). Next came the 12€ Spinach and "Parmesan" Croquettes, six lightly fried, falafel-like spheres drizzled with cashew nut mayo (Photo 8). They provided the ideal bites. Jamie went for their signature 15€ Moroccan Bowl with corn couscous, beetroot falafel, sweet potato, spinach, cherries, pickled cucumber, tomato, and fresh dates drizzled with mint yogurt sauce (Photo 6). It was quite a cornucopia of flavors that meshed quite well together with the falafels the particular standout. I decided to go for the 8€ Brochette of "Chicken" with chunks of zucchini and onion and satay sauce over a bed of sweet potato noodles (Photo 9). I'm not sure what the "chicken" was, but the flavor and texture was surprisingly spot-on. At the same time, I'm glad I limited myself to one skewer because I wanted to save room for dessert and the 4€ bottle of sparkling Green Apple Cider (Photo 4). Jamie and I settled on the delightful 6,5€ Tiramisu Cake dusted with Cocoa and swirled with Toffee (Photo 10). We finished our meal with 2€ cups of Cortado with the right amount of warm, steamed milk (Photo 5).

Claramente el resto de los artículos en él eran igual de buenos. Las porciones ideales para satisfacer el hambre y antojo de la noche. El servicio fue agradable y muy amigable.

Regresaré y casi lo puedo decir como una promesa porque no me veo comiendo en otro lugar cuando vuelva. ¡Provecho!

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.

The service was great and our meal was delicious. We had a few pastas to split, I would personally recommend the pesto, and some pizza as well!

This was better than some of the Italian food I had in Italy, so make sure you give this a try!

They absolutely delivered!…read more We came in with a very specific vision -- Asian fusion vibes, think fresh sushi and creative small plates -- and this place nailed it from start to finish. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely fun. Jason and Rebecca are awesome! We felt the Filipino hospitality. They made us feel right at home. What really stood out? The food came out fast, and Jason personally introduced each dish as he placed it on our table -- that kind of thoughtful touch makes the whole experience feel special. The level of hospitality is rare and so appreciated. We went all in on the menu: salmon box, specialty box, Rabo de toro, tempura, croquettes, 4 more plates of sushi, beef sticks, and duck bao. We're a family of 7, and let me tell you -- not a single leftover. That says everything. The ambiance is the cherry on top. Beautiful décor, a calm and cozy atmosphere, and just the right noise level (aka: you can actually have a conversation!). It's the kind of place you want to linger in. We'll definitely be back when we visit Madrid again. Highly recommend! The detail about Jason narrating each dish is such a great touch -- it really paints a picture of the experience! ​

My daughter found her shrimp tempura excellent, she said. My daughter also loved her Margarita. The waiter had the mixologist to line the rim with sugar instead salt, saying that was his preference. We all agreed he made a great decision for us! As it was a birthday celebration, we ordered a tiramisu slice, which was brought to us surrounded in delicious clouds of whipped cream and topped with candles. The tiramisu cake was quite good! Each of our dishes was satisfying and the mood of the place was vibrant and celebratory, Nice classy interior design as well! When you visit Madrid, check Macao out! I think you'll be pleased with your dining experience at Macao!

I was a little skeptical with Lamucca at first as it seemed to have an identity crisis, but boy was…read moreI proved wrong! One big advantage of Lamucca as it was literally a stone's throw from my hotel that I was staying in. Now, I did choose this establishment based off the Yelp reviews, so I really did not know what to expect, but Yelp came through in the end! The restaurant itself is pretty swanky, and very spacious with some seating outside for people watching. Even being a nice day, I chose the inside as it was pretty empty (Silly Americans eating before 10 PM for dinner). The hostess was quite kind and willing to walk me through the menu, but being on the not so large size it was easy to navigate. I will say the menu is sort of diverse dallying between many types of cultural food (Thai, Italian, American, etc). I know the pizzas get praise here, but for some reason I was itching for some Thai, so grabbed the pad thai and my relative got the burger with fries. We also both opted for some tasty sangrias to get the ball rolling! The food itself did not take long to arrive, which is a plus for some tasty tourists such as ourselves and I was surprised by the ample amount of food that was served. As for the food itself, it was spectacular! To top it off, expect to not break the bank here as it is quite affordable, but it might help due to it being of the outskirt of the downtown area. Easily could recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting!

The risotto is delicious but the portion is small, the croquettes are the best I've had in Spain, the wings are ok, and the crispy chicken sandwich has more crispy than chicken but still tasty. Also, the tinto de verano is a mix from a jug not an in-house mix, which is a little disappointing. For a restaurant in Spain, they have a lot of seating both inside and outside. The atmosphere is classy but casual, and the service is always with a smile. Overall, a great place on Serrano for an afternoon tapa or meal. Enjoy.
