    This restaurant has a long history, with old charm deco. We tried the famous roast lamb (68 Euro) cooked in a very old wood fired oven. The meat was very tender, especially the back part. We also had the garlic shrimp, but it was a bit ordinary.

    We came here twice on our Madrid trip - the most recent being on 03.04.24. We sat in the bar area and just had drinks and tapas. On one night, the owner or manager (an older gentleman) was making the rounds with the people, checking on the customers to make sure all was well. The bar service here, too, was top notch - old school and professional. The upstairs dining area is beautiful. The building is old yet well preserved. It is Old World decor at its finest. Hopefully we can squeeze in a real sit down meal sometime. I recommend getting here as soon as it opens - this place is very popular and fills up fast.

    Rabbit stew and steak

    THE BEST meal we had on our entire trip to Spain (beating out Barcelona and Granada)! We didn't know about the lamb ahead of time, so we got the rabbit stew and the steak. Both were absolutely phenomenal as they were rich in flavor with generous portions. Our food took a little longer than usual to get out so our server generously offered us a cheese appetizer while we waited. Additionally, as a historic inn, we loved the history and atmosphere of the building. I especially loved the old wooden chairs with celebrity names on the back. This is the number one place I recommend to anyone visiting Madrid! Do yourself a favor and reserve a table here before any others!

    The location is great. The restaurant itself is a beautiful old home. It's 100% all Old Madrid. Service was impecable. We were recommended here by friends and told to order their lamb I have never eaten such a delicious lamb before. It is cooked in a large wood burning oven. It was so delicious. I recommend this place to any one visiting Madrid.

    Out of this world! The service was impeccable. The wait staff was so helpful and nice. The ambiance is great. It's exactly what you want at an old world restaurant in Madrid. And the food! Get the roasted lamb and the flan you will not be disappointed!

    Delicious flan!

    Fantastic meal in Madrid. First saw this restaurant featured in José Andrés new show. He and his daughters were here and had the 1/4 lamb, their signature dish. It did not disappoint. Simply prepared with salt and water and roasted in a nearly 400 year old wood fired oven, it is sublime. And I say that as someone who doesn't usually care for lamb. The dining room upstairs* has an old world vibe and the busy wait staff attend every table and work around each other seamlessly. We also got the sliced potatoes which are cooked alongside the lamb so they got a nice umami and smokiness to them. We had the asparagus with two sauces which turned out to be 4 enormous chilled white asparagus. They were delicious. I thought we were getting grilled asparagus, but that's not what we ordered and the white asparagus was a pleasant surprise. One sauce was a type of aioli and the other was a bright fresh minced pepper, onion and tomato salsa. They also had a bowl of green olives and a bread basket for the table, as well as 4 complimentary croquettes which were light and fluffy and flavorful, all served before the meal. We finished off the meal with a flan that was probably the best either of us had ever had. Then they bring you 4 little cookies with your check. mercy! We had this meal for lunch and well, that was it for the day. We were so happily full that we didn't need dinner, so, in that respect, it was kind of a deal! It was about 148 euro for what we ordered including a 40 euro bottle of wine, so, not an inexpensive meal, but for what we got and the great service, we think we got a great deal. We would come back here again in a heartbeat if we returned to Madrid. We saw some incredible looking stew with chicken, sausage and garbanzo beans that I would like to try. Someday! *they had a small elevator to the upstairs if you are in need of one.

    Awesome wood oven from the 1600s!!!
    Nancy L.

    This place is fantastic. The food is outstanding. The decor is vintage and comfortable. We had lunch here twice during our stay in Madrid. We sat in the outdoor and loved the breeze and people watching. Special note for the leg of lamb for two people. That will have you write home!!

    Excellent, welcoming environment. The house special is roasted lamb. It's crispy and juicy. I highly recommend coming with an appetite because the portions are generous. The wooden chairs in the dining area have the names of famous persons who ate at the restaurant carved into them. I saw Peruvian-Spanish Noble Laureate and former politician Mario Vargas Llosa and the Mexican rock band Maná as names I recognized.

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.

Its cocktail venue is one of Madrid's most subtly invigorating places to drink. In a restaurant scene that is constantly reinventing itself, 'Angelita' doesn't chase trends. It defines its own universe. Finding the bar is part of the experience. Entering through the dining area upstairs, one is guided down an almost secret staircase to what might be called, Center Stage. This is where cocktail magic unfolds in a profound yet personal way. Instantly the house lights soften. A cacophony of curiously muddled voices rises and falls in palpable anticipation of what comes next. In a comfy blend of separate yet united, the bar and restaurant deserve their own spotlights. The menus evolve constantly. Angelita's wine list can reach five hundred bottles. The motif is as thoughtful, expansive, and provocative as the impeccable dishes with which it is paired. Oh, the food! So worthy of distinction, yet we will save it for another review. In the meantime, cherish a seat at the bar. It offers the most captivating view in the house: front-row access to the choreography behind the counter. For it is here where libation artists distill genius from wildly enchanting ingredients. Rather than relying on commercial bottles, Angelita cures and concocts its own spirits and infusions. Many elements are harvested from the family farm. They are rendered, blended, mixed, and tuned in exacting ways as much akin to science labs as gourmet kitchens. Fresh-milled breadworks, savory almonds, fragrant herbs, just-pulled vegetables, and hypnotic botanicals are part of the alchemy. Nothing is off limits if it adds texture, depth, or aroma. The room reinforces this point. Angelita's bar is assembled with a mad scientist's mindset: shelves lined with labeled jars of organic infusions; stainless-steel work surfaces burnished to a mirror-sheen; precision tools that appear to be of surgical grade; and beakers with rubber tubing. And then there is the centerpiece: a rotary evaporator, or "Rotovap", replete with condenser and flask. It is a serious instrument of culinary crafting that signals exactly what Angelita intends: Precision Perfection. The device allows distillation under vacuum at very low temperatures. In practice, this means Angelita can capture and condense fragile aromatics. Citrus peel. Basil. Rustic spices. Floral notes. All without cooking them into acidic bitterness or diluted dullness. What ends up in the glass is absolutely clean, vivid, and true to the original ingredients. Think: flavor in hi-def. Such standards carry through to presentation. The bar serves no ice in any of its drinks. Rather, cocktails arrive in exquisitely chilled glassware to avoid watering-down their preciously procured ingredients. Everything is measured on a digital scale, not rushed through casual pours and bar jiggers. Each offering is intentional. Deliberate. Repeatable. Yet nothing feels clinical because the result is raw and primal pleasure. After the first sip an all-sensory message is received loud and clear: 'This isn't an ordinary cocktail bar.' Angelita's drinks are born on the family farm, expertly developed in a working lab, and refined out in the open for all to witness and savor. Come ready to be mesmerized. Techniques will marvel. Flavors will enchant. Senses will exalt. At Angelita, craft meets captivation as mixologists explain the science that elevates liquid to Life.

When I found out I was coming to Madrid I had to book a table. First things first, my suggestion is book way in advance. This place fills up fast. My friend and I waited too long and the only seating we could get was at 11:15 PM. No big deal though there's plenty of places you can get a light snack in the surrounding area while exploring the city. Walking in, the architecture immediately hits you. Low ceilings, gorgeous old brick, tight dining rooms, it really feels like you stepped back in time. The whole atmosphere is elevated without being stiff. Staff was super friendly and made the experience feel smooth from start to finish. There's also apprently a really nice wine cellar at the bottom I overheard other patrons bragging about. Food wise, I will keep it real, it was good, just not my favorite meal in Madrid. The sangria was solid, definitely one of my highlights. The croquettes were fire. Crispy, creamy, exactly what you want. My friend's seafood casserole was actually really good too, I lowkey wish I went that route. Now the misses. The sautéed vegetables with Iberian ham didn't do it for me. The veggies needed seasoning bad, and the ham leaned a little too salty, so together it just felt off. The suckling pig, the signature dish, was good, but I was not blown away. If I find myself returning here, I would explore other options. After dinner, there was a little show and they let you keep a souvenir menu, which was a nice touch and made the night feel more memorable. Overall I had a solid 3.5 star experience rounded up to 4. Sobrino de Botín is history, it is iconic, and it is worth saying you have been. Just do not expect it to be the best meal of your trip. Hit Botín, soak it in, then go explore the rest of Madrid's food scene, because that is where things really start to shine.

We hadn't planned on eating there but decided to drop in.

The menu features a wide variety of traditional Spanish dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. Our T-bone steak arrived perfectly cooked, served with grilled peppers and sliced golden potatoes, it was simple, flavorful, and satisfying. The squid was also very good, but the standout dish was the asparagus in tempura with almond mayonnaise. Perfectly fried and incredibly light, it was absolutely outstanding. Another highlight was the homemade Iberian ham croquettes served with candied pepper sauce which were creamy and rich on the inside with a delicate crisp on the outside and a wonderful balance of flavor. To accompany the meal, we enjoyed a few glasses of Rioja Azpilicueta Crianza (Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo, 12 months aging, 2021). It was a bit on the dry side, but helped take the edge off the chilly wind while we sat outside enjoying a late lunch. The staff were friendly and accommodating, even indulging my enthusiasm for photographing the slicing of the Iberian ham. All in all, La Mi Venta delivered a fantastic, authentic Spanish dining experience with great food, good wine, and welcoming service in a charming setting. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Madrid.
