Plus, I was starting to miss steak. We made a same day reservation and came here when they opened around 8. We were able to order in Spanish but all of the waiters seemed to speak English and so we had a great time talking to them without me stumbling to remember my vocabulary from college. We ordered two second courses and two main courses because we panicked and were starving. Yes, it was too much food but oh my was it delicious! Grilled turbot, entrecote (ribeye), tuna, and creamy rice with squid. My boyfriend and I ate everything family style and had a lovely time. I realized after that they didn't even ask how I liked my steak but it came out perfectly cooked to a medium rare. I was a happy customer and can't recommend this place highly enough. With the four dishes we ordered plus 4 glasses of wine, the bill was 100 Euros. I felt like for the quality, it was a steal.

As soon as my tour guide told us the oldest restaurant in the world was in Madrid and we walked by…read moreit on the tour, I was determined to eat here. It's absolutely crazy to me that they're still using the original firewood oven since the restaurant opened in 1725. That's almost 300 years! My friend and I didn't have a reservation, so we got here around 12:45, 15 minutes before they opened for lunch, and tried to walk in. We were the second group in the walk in line, so we made it in. They reserve one indoor dining area plus the outdoor seats for walk in, so 6-7 groups got seated. It was a pretty easy process. The decor inside matched its long history, and everything looked old school fancy. I started with a glass of sangria for 3.75€. For food, I had their specialty, the cuchinillo i.e. roast suckling pig, for 32€, and my friend had the roast chicken with veggies for 20€. I appreciated that their oven area is open, so you can peak your head in and watch them roast the pig. It's absolutely crazy how many roast pigs they have on the shelves... they must go through a ton of them everyday! While I thought the dish was a bit on the pricy side, it absolutely lived up to its reputation. The skin was super crispy and the meat tender and flavorful. I really enjoyed this dish. The portion looked small, so I wasn't sure if it'd be enough to fill me up, but I was stuffed by the end of the meal and wasn't too hungry even by dinnertime. My friend thought the roast chicken was just okay. The table near us also got the roast baby lamb and said it was amazing as well, so hopefully I'll have the chance to come back and try that as well...

They were also nice about moving a reservation last minute and spoke English. But that's kind of where the positives end. Other than the grilled prawns, which were fresh and delicious, nothing else was really worth writing home about. The service was lackluster, too. Nobody came and asked if we needed more water. The bread did not come warm. They served us six large loaves, but two people in our party were under three years old (4 adults). And at the end, he asked us for a tip, which we understand to be off market here. The machine had 15% and 20% options. What a joke! And pricey (250 euros for four adults). This is our second day in Madrid and we spent a week in Barcelona. Probably our least favorite meal.

I have been to the location in BCN before, but what a pleasant surprise that this is a chain that I can dine in Madrid as well! I don't usually like chain places but I love this place!

The shrimp are delicious and meaty (they better be for almost €60 a plate). The dish I ordered was the fish tacos, which do not look as you think they would (see the picture). Nevertheless, the were scrumptious! Chunks of deep fried fish laid on a bed of guacamole surrounded by dollops of green and white sauce make for a very surprising yet delicious dish (take my advice, try the green stuff...it's delicious!). Also, take my advice on this, the cheesecake is great. It's the perfect mixture of creamy yet firm. Lastly, if you're a gin and tonic fan they have a refreshing one just for you. They make it with Norte gin, which is now my favorite. Overall, our party of seven paid around €200 for the night. This is a great place. Great for a nice date night or special occasion. The service is superb and constant, which is a nice change for Spain, the constant part that is. If you're just visiting Madrid, go for it. You will not be disappointed and it'll be one for the books. Enjoy!
