Great seafood and shellfish restaurant in Madrid. Madrid is an amazing Seaport for Spanish and Galician Restaurants. Probably with Tokyo , Madrid and Barcelona best seafood worldwide C. read more

Service was great. We showed up without a reservation but were able to get seats within 5 minutes despite it being packed. Order drinks and the bartender gave us great amounts of liquor. The food cake out super fast. The vegetables were extremely tasty but the octopus was mediocre. It didn't taste grilled and really only had some paprika sprinkled on it. The fried maki was pretty good but also lacked some seasoning. We left and got food elsewhere afterwards because it wasn't satisfying enough. read more

Stopped by for lunch and loved every second of it... Croquettas were amazing, some of the best we've ever had... Great, great mini hamburguesas that are like little meat grenades (definitely get at least one)... Pan con jamon y tomate is a must try as well.... Be warned an order of croquettas can feed a family of 4 easy. So don't over order (like we did unfortunately) may make sense to order 1-2 dishes at a time here so that you pace yourself... We really enjoyed our time here escaping the heat, grabbing a beer and some awesome tapas. read more

O Pazo de Lugo - Amazing croquettas, hamburguesas, great peppers and of course awesome jamon... - Spanish Near Me - Madrid, M

We were coming back from Toledo and happened upon this restaurant. So glad we did. The best food we had in Madrid. Great food and service. We had the salad, cheese board and octopus. Our waiter brought us these little after dinner shots that were amazing and a nice surprise. It looked like the other diners were mostly locals which is always a good sign! . read more

I was lucky enough to stumble onto this place during a recent trip. Madrid is a beautiful city with many local bars with great tapas. This stands out. Croquettas and grilled cuttlefish were both outstanding. Bartender was very patient with my broken Spanish. Truly enjoyable experience. read more

Great find. The staff was wonderful, only one English speaking waiter, and she gave great recommendations. I had the make fish with cheese sauce. It was cooked to perfection and not heavy as you would think. We also shared the grilled vegetables which were amazing we ordered a bottle of wine and then the waiter gave us a Spanish after dinner drink similar to Baileys, we enjoyed it so much he left the bottle on our table. If I'm ever back I will definitely come again. read more

We didn't get a chance to try their food but their wines are quite cheap (most were around 2 Euros) and were pretty good quality in my opinion. Went back there several times just for the wine! Only reason why I'm giving them less than 5 stars is because of their poor service. They show an obvious disdain towards Americans and one of the waiters was very rude. You'll recognize him by his ugly manbun and surly demeanor. He pretended he couldn't speak or understand English when we asked him questions about ordering food but when it came time to pay he whipped out his English instantly. I suppose he suddenly became fluent in English when it was time to ask us for money. Terrible attitude and really was the worst service person we came across during our entire trip in Spain. read more

Went here for dinner and tapas as it was near my hotel and the reviews were good. Glad I did. Amore, the now famous waitperson (thanks to this site and others) came to my rescue and suggested a great sampling menu for my last night in Madrid. Food was amazing as was the conversation. Amore told me about her extraordinary life and how she came to live with her family in Madrid. She could literally teach 90% of restaurant workers how to do their jobs better! If you're in the area, go here for a local experience. You won't be disappointed. And ask for Amore! read more

I know it mightve been a language barrier, but when we ordered one order of the tortilla and one order of the seafood rice, he brought out and rang us up for two orders of the seafood rice(one serving is like 20 euros) so our lunch came out to like 60euros. Id like to give them the benefit of doubt, but such an unfortunate waste of food. And yes, food in spain is extremely salty. read more

The restaurant has a lot of Gallego type food. The octopus, which I rarely get was delicious. The service was extremely friendly and prices were very reasonable. The desserts were also great and well worth it. Portions are large. We ordered 3 plates and 4 of us ate comfortably. Overall great place. read more

I would skip this place. Three different servers were helping us out. They do have an English menu if you ask. Only one of us spoke Spanish. My friend ordered the croquettas and 10 minutes later they told us they didn't have any and clarified that the paella would be 19,50 each which I didn't think was worth it. So we reordered the omelette dish. My other friend had the mini burger which she said was good. It was around 11am and pretty empty. We sat inside and I mostly felt uncomfortable while being stared at by the staff. read more

Really good hosts! Great snacks and food, a good selection of local and other craft beers, good local beers on draft. Go for their snacks and Galician foods on the menu! read more

Surprisingly good. The Philippino waitress Amore was very welcoming and very easy to talk to. One of the best local find! We had the octopus, and if this is not your thing, just forget about the word because it actually tasted like American ham. The beef medallion was excellent also. I definitely will go back again when I visit Madrid again. read more

Really good service, it's a popping location. The tapas and drinks are solid. It's kind of expensive though, but to escape the heat, this is an amazing meet-up location. The place is still crowded at midnight. The most popular things include croquettes and Galician style octopus which come in huge portions. The dishes on toast are also delicious. read more

My wife and I were very impressed by the humbleness and sincerity of the ower. We were ordering codillo, apertizer and fish, owner immeditealy stopped us to order further , he even cancaled our fish dish. Having communication gap,he hands and face expression were enough for us to undestand of his honesty. Go place to this place without be disguided. By the way, The foods was great and the portion was more tan enough. Nice to know this restaurant. L. S. read more

Awesome lunch spot. Busy place close to the modern art museum. Grilled cuttlefish! Anchovy salad with strawberries!! Galician pie with cod and veggie!!! Everything was just fresh and delicious. Waiter was so nice he gave us free octopus salad from the bar and a small dish paella to try. Wow. Our hotel recommended this place and so glad we tried it. read more

Found this a little off the beaten path one evening. Wonderful and helpful waitstaff. Great vibe in both the bar area (with done table seating) and especially the back room for dining. Delicious selection on menu- some typical Galician- Spanish items and other eclectic menu: tuna tartare w/avocado, steak with cheese and peppers, grilled octopus on smokey mashed potatoes to name a few of the great items we shared. Very nice after a long day or walking and lots of tapas the last few days. read more

Not sure why this rated 4 stars. It's menu is tiny and there's nothing to rave about here. Try a different place that actually has decently sized food and seasoned food so you walk away satisfied. read more

My family and I found this spot after returning from a long day of touring Toledo. As we walked in the door, all ten of us, tired, hungry and a bit irritable, we almost walked right back out because the place was packed and we didn't think the service would be that good. We were immediately seated and warmly greeted by Gerald our host and waiter for our meal. He took the time to explain how his restaurant worked and gave advice on what our family should have, even going as far as to help us downsize our options so we wouldn't be throwing away money on something we couldn't even finish. However, the food was beyond excellent, leaving us stuffed, but wanting more! From smoked sardines to chocolate cake, everyone in our party found a dish or two to their liking! A must have are the shrimp and monkfish crepes! So good that we order 2 servings! Besides that dish, we found the tuna tartare, sautéed pork & the beef medallions to be exceptional too. And to end our meal, Gerald insisted on providing us with a traditional Galician liquor to settle us! Fantastic! A must have if ever in Madrid! Well done! read more

Not sure what they could have done better - 5 stars. Enjoyed several tapas - octopus (pulpo a ferira), beef (lomo de buey) and excellent generous sized pot of mussels (mejillones a la marinera). My husband was so thrilled with these that he ordered the empanada just to see how this place prepared them. He was not disappointed. Prices reasonable. Service above average for Madrid. Spanish only menu, specialized limited menu. read more

We really wanted to love O Pazo de Lugo after reading many great reviews and working up a big appetite. The gazpacho was very good. The sirloin steak was simple yet good, albeit with little or no vegetable accompaniment beyond fried potato strips. Other dishes, however, lacked both flavor and substance. Salmon and avocado tartare is just the two ingredients with mayonnaise and a sprinkling of roe. Very bland and no accompaniment of potato, rice, or similar. Veal fillet with peppers was minimalist with a few strips of fried potatoes. Lamb chops were over cooked with little meat, mostly fat. A medium quantity of fried potato strips. Service was friendly and accommodating, but the food unfortunately didn't match. read more

Went during business rush for lunch. Prefix menu was decent. Chicken cordon bleu was tasty but cold. Also got the salmon and fresh cheese salad which was lovely. For desert I chose the crepes stuffed with cream cheese and apples drizzled in honey which was recommended and nice but lackluster, it seemed to need an acidic component for balance. Nice ambiance for dining and staff is friendly. Great spot for before or after visiting the Reina Sofía which is on the next corner. read more

I'm writing this review because I had a terrible experience with this restaurant. A group I was with made reservations for this restaurant and were very disappointed by the customer service. The servers were VERY rude and impatient because we didn't speak Spanish. They rushed us and didn't want to give us their time of day by trying to understand what we wanted. I guess don't eat here if you don't speak Spanish read more

We came here for tapas. The place was a bit crowded but the atmosphere was great. There is also a more fancy section/room of the restaurant if you continue down the bar to the end. They have a menu in English. We tried all of their "snack" (tapas) items as well as some of the cheese. All were great but a bit pricey. Their version of "pan con tomate y jamon" might have been the best I have tried. read more

For 15euros you get one starter one entree a desert and a whole bottle of wine plus coffee! Best oxtail I ever had ! The waitress speaks great English and provided great service would recommend to anyone! read more

Good meal but nothing memorable. Good quality and more upscale looking that other places in the neighborhood but that's not always the best--especially for the price point. They had an English menu so that was helpful. read more

This is a great option for a delicious meal. The octopus was some of the best I have ever had, the calamari was tender but not mushy, everything was delicious, and the service was warm and friendly. We will be back read more

Worst Madrid experience. If you don't know Spanish don't even bother going in. After being kicked around like a soccer ball from waiter to waiter with no success in even finding out if they have a table, we left. Not sure if knowing Spanish would have made a difference either, given the attitude of the people there. read more

Excellent food, great service, and reasonable prices! Very happy with our dinner after the visit to th museum. Full of locals. Has a short list of tapas and a good set of entrees. If you need to have a formal dinner, there is a fine dining are in the back with a formal dinner menu. An excellent place for lunch and dinner when you are visiting the museum. read more

Great place! Really solid menu, good prices, ambiance, service, everything. They did have menus in English, which came in handy, but vino is vino. read more

Great place to hang out. Inexpensive and delicious. Best for tapas. To eat like an Spaniard, stand at the bar, order, and eat right there. Get a drink or two and sip slowly. Chat and people watch. Can also sit outdoors and people watch on the street. Inside sitting also available. This is where locals go. Authentic Spanish food. Of note, waiters may not speak much English, and I did not see an English menu around (maybe available if you ask for it though). Service is very good and very friendly staff though. Love this place! read more

We were fortunate enough to read the Yelp reviews about this place and had our first official tapas experience last night. Service from Amore was perfect - she helped us through the menu but was not not at all intrusive. I was blown away by the tastes of the food, especially the grilled octopus and I am not usually a fish eating type person. When the 4 of us were done with our meal we were surprised to see how inexpensive it was. You will enjoy this place! read more

Fantastic. Had very tasty steak, octopus and Mini cheeseburger appetizer. All were exceptional

This place was a great find. I've had subpar meals in Madrid until we found this place. Amore our waitress from the Philippines was amazing. She spoke great English, and gave great recommends. I am going back tomorrow to try different dishes. This place was full of locals, so it has to be a local gem. read more
