We spent one week in Madrid in January while working on a project at the Matadero, a huge cultural…read morespace, on the outskirts of the city center. This modest looking restaurant is just across the street. The staff are very polite and friendly. One of the main waiters speaks english and they have an english menu. However, this is not a touristy place in any way. It's very quiet and typical. The restaurant is a typical Asador where they grill all kinds of meat, seafood and vegetables. We ate here four times during our stay(after we realized how great it was we didn't want to waste our time!) and tried a good selection of dishes. We also visited the much touted "Casa Lucio" and "Botin" restaurants, and this was by far my favorite in terms of the ambiance and the quality of the food. The best dishes are, for starters: grilled vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms and amazing grilled asparagus), the standard salad which is typically served with crisp, fresh lettuce, tuna, tomatoes, olives, etc... and you dress it yourself with olive oil and vinegar. They also do nice grilled shrimp. For the main course you simply must get the giant cote de boeuf for two (we even got a bigger one for three when our fiend joined us). It's an amazingly tasty steak, salty and fatty and perfectly cooked. They slice it off the bone at the table. It's very close to a Peter Luger steak. THE BEST STEAK!! For a change of pace, the Cod is also excellent. Everything is cooked simply and tastefully using fresh ingredients in a way that only heightens the flavor. There are no sauces to complicate the food. PS- I am a celiac and Spain in general was good for me, this food here is generally grilled with salt and olive oil.

The staff are helpful and there were a few groups of local families gathered just as we were walking in (it was around 7 pm so we suspect this was a stop before the actual family events). A few highlights: 1. Tortilla: Get the large for only 2 additional euros. This was very solid - perfectly seasoned and fluffy. It is pretty big but we ended up finishing it because it was so good. 2. Galician octpus: Tender and flavorful. The accompanying creamy potato puree was sublime, and paired well with the spicy octopus. 3. Cod with creamy risotto: Perfectly crispy skin and fork-tender flesh, all over a rich and savory risotto. This one is light but packs a great flavor punch with a nice pairing of textures. 4. Duck cannelloni: This was one of the better cannelloni dishes I have had - the duck is incredibly tender and the savory, robust filling pairs well with the creamy topping. It's not a light dish but definitely worth a try. 5. Candied suckling pig: Pretty solid classic. The skin is nice and crispy, and the meat ultra-tender. They also gave us a bowl of housemade potato chips, which were divine (perfectly thickness and level of seasoning), as a starter. If you are staying downtown, then this is a nice hidden gem. The total bill came to ~109 Euros for 6 dishes and a house draft beer - and this is enough food for 2-3.

This is a cute hipster cafe with friendly service, located just steps from our hotel the Barceló Emperatriz. During our 2 visits here, we tried the eggs Benedict, the breakfast sandwich, and the pancakes. Everything was delicious! My favorite was the eggs Benny though. The eggs were perfectly poached, and the greens on the side made the dish feel lighter. Loved the coffee served in those big cozy cups. Service was slower than here in the states, but honestly still pretty fast. I fully expected to come in here and take my time. The atmosphere is lovely and the people working here are so nice.

The counter top design is unique. I would definitely come back to try other dishes. Prices are affordable.

It's usually super loud and that only adds to the experience!
