(Reservations can be made in person or over the phone only - while we were eating, I saw the phone ringing off the hook and their reservation book being added to.) When it was time for our reservation we were greeted and seated by a nice man who turned out to be the chef/owner himself, Marcos Gil. He went through each item on the menu with us and suggested wine pairings for our selections. We ordered the leeks, salmon, veal cheek, and venison, a daily special. They were all incredible! Each dish was not overly sophisticated and let the main component truly speak for itself. We could genuinely taste the craft and care that went into each dish. The dessert was no exception. Despite being a modest, unassuming restaurant, the space was intimate and inviting and the service was excellent along with the food. Worth more than any three-star Michelin meal any day.

L'Artisan Furansu Kitchen is an unexpected find in the culinary landscape of Madrid, as it reaches…read morean intersection between Japanese cooking techniques and contemporary French dishes. With a mission to showcase the harmonious relationship between the two cuisines, L'artisan Furansu Kitchen creates a unique menu each weekday, relative to the goods available in the market. This ensures each dish is always at its freshest and crafted using the finest ingredients possible. With three different dining areas to choose from, including the intimate castiza for date nights, and the bar area which serves European and Japanese cocktails and libations, my friend and I opted for the room which allowed us to see our food being prepared in the kitchen. Exciting to watch the chef's in action as they prepared our lunch, and our server was helpful in explaining the menu and the dining options. We shared a starter of mackerel tartare, with green onion, ginger and aubergine caviar. I hadn't tasted anything like this before, and it was a great way to set the tone of our lunch. The subtle flavors of ginger and green onion perfectly reflected the Japanese influence. The soft pork belly was slow cooked for 12 hours, and the sweet soy sauce complimented the tender meat. My friend ordered the oven-roasted butterfish, marinated in saikyo miso and she couldn't stop raving about it. I enjoyed a rack of lamb served with yucca fritters. The yucca fritters were something completely new and exciting, and a great take on a root vegetable. The lamb was meaty, juicy, and just right. Dessert included rhubarb crumble with custard cream and green tea ice cream with mochi and dorayaki. We couldn't decide which we liked better, because both were so delicious, so we just shared them and ate both! L'artisan Furansu Kitchen is not culinary fusion, but a symphony of flavors from two important cuisines.

To be honest, I'm not impressed by this place AT ALL. Even though a crepe place is not common in…read moreMadrid, I didn't expect it to be this bad. Our table was stuck in a corner located right next to the door, so we got a whiff of constant cigarette smoke all night. Not the greatest environment to eat dinner. I also had a great view of the kitchen and loved watching the crepes being made, but the chef kept giving me dirty looks every time she saw me watching. We ordered the campagnarde and the jardiniere - both crepes were very dry and burnt. There was no sauce and very few ingredients in either, but the hot apples on the campagnarde are what really helped us get through the dish. Not much else to say other than you're not missing out if you don't try this place.

My crepe had salmon, goat cheese, pistachios, and very fresh tasting spinach. Each bite had plenty of flavorful filling. The decor is vintage living room which, with the warm lighting and cozy seating, makes for a delightful ambience.

This is a fine, small (about 40 seats) French restaurant in the midst of Madrid. The food was absolutely delicious, the service efficient, and the friendliness most appreciated.

On the way out, the chef came to greet us. What a treat! The restaurant may take some effort to locate, but it is worth every difficulty.

I truly have to highlight Pepe, Franco, and Grace for taking the time to speak to us and get to know us. The food was FANTASTIC. We ordered the seafood paella, jamon iberico, garlic shrimp, and sangria. The paella was filled with a ton of flavor which was DELICIOUS. Everything was fantastic, but the Sangria was spectacular, (probably one of the best sangrias I've ever had). At the end of our meal, Pepe brought us two liquor de Limon shots, which made our whole night!! Definitely recommend this place in the La Latina neighborhood. You won't regret it!

It has that classic bustling tapas bar energy where everyone is close enough to feel like part of one big conversation. The food was the highlight. The clams were flavorful and fresh, the octopus was cooked beautifully and the paella was delicious. It is a great place to stop in for a drink and a quick bite, especially if you want something authentic and lively. When we visited, it was packed to the point where you were shoulder to shoulder with other guests and close enough to easily hear the party next to you. It adds to the charm if you enjoy that classic crowded European dining atmosphere, but it is something to keep in mind if you prefer more space.
