Recommended by our guides for the day. It is also a Michelin recommended place. They have portions in sizes of full , 1/2 or 1/3 to give you the option of trying many things which we did. All very nice. I got. Three wines by the glass, two white and one red and we focused on local specialties. I think we had like 8 items. Forgot to take pictures of a few of them. We arrived at the frightfully early time of 8pm and so the first 30 minutes or so we were alone. Staff was great and explained the food, in English. All dishes were truly unique and i think the menu changes often as the web site is not up to date. It's is about 10 minutes walk from our JW Marriott. Nice atmosphere with kind of 70s and 80s music at low volume. Bill Joel, Eagles and some other such. But gain, the food was special and great. read more

Really enjoyed this meal. Definitely seafood-forward and tapas-style menu. Prawns were fresh and large and wonderfully done. Was not so impressed with the steak (but glad it was not super expensive). I would not recommend steak but the rest of the dishes (mostly seafood) were excellent. read more

Food was amazing, had the Chef's selection of 6 dishes and 2 desserts paired with a great Tempranillo. The service was superb, always on top of things. The ambiance allows for a great conversation with a well decorated area. read more

TriCiclo - Tapas Bars Near Me - Madrid, M

(NOTE: not too many pictures taken as the food was really distracting) They earned every point on that Micheline star! MommaK, Glammom and I had an amazingly wonderful time at TriCiclo. We found it unexpectedly while happily wandering through Madrid. Immediately we made a reservation. This place took us promptly, had a wonderful wine list and a smaller menu (2 pages) - I love this as this means they spend more time on each dish. MommaK and I each had the chefs 6 course tasting menu - no idea what we'd get (like Omikase) - well oo wa! Cabbage wrapped beef, prawns wrapped in a mint leaf, just to name a few! The mix and matches were well thought out and the taste was astounding! Glammom had ceviche and steak tartar perfectly seasoned. This was heaven! The room was nicely decorated and the staff well trained. The sound track was a bit weird with something like Muzak in the background - but who cares?! Worth it, worth it, WORTH IT! Go you fools! read more

Madrid is known for exceptional food and this spot - a Michellin Bib Gourmand was beyond expectation! This is an exceptional restaurant with atmosphere, service and excellent cuisine. The main dining area feels like a cave with access to nature. Rustic and charming it compliments the dishes. The oxtail and potato special starter was amazing. Next on our list was oysters from France both grilled and marinaded. We chose wine by the glass to meet each dish. Cava with oysters. Rose with oxtail and then leeks and mushrooms. The tinto vino for the rest. I would encourage creating your own tasting menu as we did. Go from tapas dishes to veggies and finish with a meat. I love that the portions included half plate options. It made the tasting light and fun! Dessert is not to be missed. And I don't want to forget the amazing farm fresh bread and smoked butter! read more

Todo estuvo excelente. Una amiga me recomendó este lugar ya que cuando visito Madrid para su luna de miel comieron allí y no me puede ir sin probar. La comida y todos los platillos con muy buen sabor! Mi esposo venía con restricciones dietéticas muy estrictas y nos apoyaran súper bien. El servicio, lo que se puede esperar de un restaurante Michelin, súper atentos y cálidos! El sumiller tuvo recomendaciones increíbles al igual que el mesero. Me encantó el ambiente del lugar y se lo recomendaría a todos los que quieran una comida llena de sabores únicos read more

A modern tapas restaurant. We walked in for a late lunch without reservations and was able to get seated without an issue. Lucky us! All the staff were attentive, patient and kind. Our waiter patiently and explained what each dish was and if there was a language barrier, he grabbed someone who can explain to us in English. Presentation was a 10/10 and all the flavors worked well together. We only ordered two raw tapas, but after trying the oyster and prawns, I wished we had also ordered the ceviche dishes - it was our fav. I would come back solely just for the bread and olive oil lol, it was that good! This will be on our recommendation list for our friends visiting Madrid. read more

Outstanding. From the service to each and every small plate we tried everything was perfection. Definitely our best meal in Madrid and perhaps one of the best restaurants I'v been to anywhere. You can decide what portion size you prefer to order for each menu item ( small, medium or large). We decided to get the smallest portion of each item so that we could sample more of a variety of items. The meal came with complementary homemade bread and special olive oil and smoked butter ( worth the splurge). There was then a complementary appetizer which included a small cracker with foie gras as well as a strawberry flavored tomato which was amazing. We then ordered the steak tartar, cerviche , tuna tartar with avocado , sashimi ( this is no ordinary sashimi and the presentation was absolutely gorgeous), as well as a tomato/ burrata/ anchovy salad. Every single one was flavorful, unique and melt-in - your mouth memorable. If you are a foodie don't pass this restaurant up. Fantastic! read more

This was definitely the best lunch I've probably ever had! Randomly stopped here after a massage without a reso and was seated immediately in the beautiful dining room. Walking in... the joint is beautiful, feels like a cave and the main eating area winds around the other side. First off, the service is impeccable... every dish is explained to you upon arrival.. they have like a well polished team even for lunch service!! The menu is pretty extensive with some traditional Spanish dishes and some delicacies ... you can order in three different portion sizes (1/3, 1/2 or full) which I really liked! They start you with amuse bouche and some outstanding sourdough with really good homemade butter. I could have left right there, so good! Started out with Oysters 3 ways, Steak Tartare & Nikkei Ceviche with Sea Bass/ Coriander & Lime: All outstanding! Entree was an Oxtail Flank cooked MR with bone marrow sauce.. also cooked perfectly and very good. Again, service was outstanding & I'm sure it's hard to get a reso for dinner// must try in Madrid!! Talk later. read more

Amazing service and food. We got the 9 course and 2 dessert entourage which was not to disappoint. This Michelin rated restaurant was superb from display to taste to service. Tucked in its quaint from the outside and more expensive than your typical places in Madrid but worth every euro. They serve bread selections throughout the course and of course you must choose a wine to go with your meal bc Spain duh. Even your best wine won't run you more than $50 euros. Europe is strange in that any tipping at all is very unexpected but we def tipped well bc we showed up an hour before their 11pm late curfew and then of course ended up ordering the whole farm but they were so gracious in allowing us to enjoy and even provided an extra after dinner liquor sipper. Check the pics for some mouth wAtering goodness read more

I tend to do a lot of planning before any trip, and a good portion of that planning is where we're going to eat, so I tend to not make many mistakes, but TriCiclo was one of them. It's not that the food isn't very well prepared and tasty, it's just that it is a ragingly horrible value, and I'm really value-oriented in my reviews (the whole QPR - "quality/price ratio). What I liked: the food was very good, and the wines were decent values (in fact a glass of TRUS (2012 Crianza) I really enjoyed for about 4euro I found in the store a day later for 18E per bottle, so the wines were actually cheaper by the glass here than at retail!). For this reason (value of the wines), I'm giving TriCiclo a 3, and not a 2. On to the food: we ordered half portions of several items, as we had the previous night at nearby Vinoteca Moratin (which I highly recommend), in order to sample as much of the menu as possible. But what we got was shocking: a 16E half portion of rigatoni consisted of EIGHT pieces of the pasta - that's 2E per noodle!! Another pasta special was similarly hilarious in it's small size. An entire portion of Ceviche could have fit inside an espresso cup, and on and on. Small portions are great when you are enjoying a 10-course meal, but when you paying between 10-20 euros for each course, it's a shocker. TripAdvisor put TriCiclo several hundred spots down on the "best restaurants" list for Madrid, and I have to agree (and should have heeded that result in making my plans). I also have to agree with TripAdvisor putting neighboring "Vinoteca Moratin" in the top ten. The 2 restaurants are diametric opposites measured in terms of value, and I urge you to reserve at the former if your time in Madrid is limited. read more

TriCiclo - Ridiculously expensive: 2€/piece of rigatoni! 2€/asparagus! 7€/canelonni - Tapas Bars Near Me - Madrid, M

This is my second visit to Triciclo. The ambiance, decor, menu design, execution of the dishes, flavors and service are impecable. The menu changes with available ingredients - and all their dishes are exquisitely prepared. This time, we ordered their signature shrimp appetizer, a burrata salad, a crunchy vegetable pot with a poached egg placed in the center of the broth, the cochinillo, lobster in red curry sauce (WOW!). I am still trying to figure out what dish was my favorite. No time to photograph desserts though, both were 'Gone in 60 Seconds'. I will be back - every time I return to Madrid - for sure! read more

This was by far the best restaurant we tried in Madrid. Great food. Amazing wines. And the service was phenomenal. If I ever go back to Madrid, it will be on my list for sure. Highly recommend! Also got the oxtail cannelloni, didn't take a pic cause we ate it too fast. It was the best meal we ordered. read more

Triciclo was highly recommended and so I dropped by for dinner. I couldn't decide what to get and so I opted for the 6 course tasting menu + one dessert (50€). The first course was a Prawn dish. The prawn was sweet and crisp; wrapped in a shiso leaf and then dipped in a sauce added some herby tangy flavours. Quite good but extremely small to be considered a course. The next dish was a creamy zesty spicy shrimp with crunchy nuts on the side. This was good but again, I found the portion to be quite small - the plate was mainly filled with sauce. The 3rd course was a pork belly with octopus. The octopus was nicely grilled and flavoured and the pork was tender and had a slightly spicy bbq flavoured sauce. The salad was tangy with a little spice. The Cod was light, flakey and moist with a crisp skin. It paired well with the sweet peas. The Tartare with chips was my favorite dish. Acorn fed Iberian pork tartare has the most amazing buttery & nutty taste and was incredibly creamy with the raw egg. The crispy flat bead and chips were well seasoned and not too oily. The Wild Rabbit Callaloni with parmesan cheese was really rich and creamy - probably a little TOO rich with the addition of the cheese. The rabbit was juicy but I disliked the texture since it was ground up to fit into the canaloni. For dessert, I had the Brownie with house-made olive ice cream. This was actually quite good. The brownie was not too sweet and quite airy - probably due to the amount of walnuts in it. The ice cream was more like whipped cream and tasted like olive oil rather than olives. There was a nice crunchy base which had a good amount of walnuts in it. Overall, I found the experience to be underwhelming. Given that it was a tasting menu, I usually expect courses to be explained to me but some courses were just set down on the table. The food itself was good but not spectacular and portions were fairly small. Despite this, it still seems to be a fairly popular and I saw many walk ins who were turned away. If coming I would recommend to just get the ibérico tartare and brownie and forgo the tasting menu. read more

For the price it was very disappointing. I only had one night in Madrid and I really wanted to experience spanish cuisine. This place is labeled as spanish food but it had no traditional spanish food. The bread the gave us was kinda stale. The olives were the only really good thing. We tried two dishes, one was ok and one was awful. The thing that pissed me off the most and led me to writing this review is that the second dish, the one that was awful, was actually recommended by the server, and it was super expensive. She said is gonna be rice with giant prawns, but it was just TWO regular sized shrimp (about 4cm), on a bed of burned rice and it was 30€. Again, I paid 30 euros for 2 effin pieces of shrimp!!! And it was not even good. I just ended up filing my self up on bread and olives cuz I didn't wanna order anything else. read more

I was wandering through the neighborhood, finding my way back to my hotel, when Google Maps brought me to the doorstep of this gastropub. It's very popular here and I had decided to forego it as some reviews said the service was a bit on the rude side. Not being fluent in Spanish, I assumed I would just infuriate them. But the menu was enticing and the staff was very welcoming when I stepped inside. It was midday so not crowded. I had three small plates. I knew I wanted to try the steak tartare, so the waiter recommended a prawn with shisho and miso to start. It was beautifully serviced atop green leaves (Thai basil, mint, coriander, shaved green onion and what looked like a large geranium leaf) and a fresh and fruity sauce. It was gone in two bites, and was delicious! The second plate was a autumn vegetable selection, which on this day was assorted mushrooms. It was warm and hearty and the egg on top made it very rich and satisfying. The final course was the steak tartare. It was both lovely and delicious, well seasoned and served atop a crusty slice of toast. There was a nice hit of pepper at the end of every bite, which I really enjoyed I had a bottle of water and a mixed drink. I was looking for something fruity with vodka and ended up with a shot of Absolute, a cocktail glass with ice, and a small bottle of Minute Maid pineapple juice. It tasted much better than it sounds because, well, Vodka. Sadly, I observed an employee leave the bathroom without washing her hands. I hope not to have any ill effects, because I reported this to the waiter. This is why I gave it four stars instead of 5. My total bill was just under 36 Euros. Yes, it was on the expensive side, but I am on holiday and live in a place where food like this is nonexistent. The waiter and bartender were very friendly and the food tasted fantastic. #worthit read more

What an awesome way to spend part of a day eating tapas and drinking wine! Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend letting them just pick a mix of specials and menu items! We kept it to six courses and shared between my wife and self. Trying a shrimp dish, artichoke dish, suckling pig, turbot, ceviche - which was amazing. Add the wine sampling and desert and it was fantastic! Definitely going back! read more

This cool restaurant has a very interesting menu with great flexibility in size portions. Despite this we were greedy and over 5 things in slightly too big sizes...but no regrets. The prawns are apparently the most popular dish and my friend was excited but for me these were completely eclipsed by the cuttlefish with ink fideua (Valencian short noodles) which was sensational, as was the lamb meatballs which genuinely might be the best meatballs I have ever had. The texture was more strips of meat balled together rather than mince and it came with a delicious kind of curry sauce. Unexpected! The only dish I was disappointed with was the tuna tartar, it was a bit stringy and not that enjoyable to eat. Service was a bit spotty, they kept forgetting water for example. Overall though it was a really nice experience and I would love to come back for more cuttlefish and lamb! read more

Loved my lunch here. A lot. Didn't have a reservation but got there when they opened and snagged a high top table in the bar area. They brought gigantic, juicy, delicious green olives with my beer. Ordered a tomato salad with anchovies, tiny aged cheese cubes and wonderful olive oil that mixed with the tomato water and made for great dipping with the outrageously good, crusty bread they brought with it. Next up was a half order of fantastic tiny ravioli stuffed with chicken stewed with chocolate (but not a mole) in a wonderful morel cream sauce. More dipping! Finished with a really good cortado coffee. Service alternated among several very attractive, friendly, pleasant and capable people. This place is a winner and I think a must while in Madrid. All that was €35. Money well spent! read more

Classic tasting menu was fantastic. Each dish had lots of flavor. As someone who is not a very adventurous eater and often feels like tasting menus are too out there for me, this did not have anything weird that was trying too hard, just solid yummy food. The 9 courses and 2 desserts were completely filling, we left stuffed! Went to Clos last week and would say from a food standpoint this can compete and we actually enjoyed these classic dishes more! Service is fine, but def not 5 star above and beyond type of service you get at Michelin star, so I wouldn't go in expecting that. Overall a wonderful meal and would definitely go back! read more

Woahh, Have tried a whole bunch of tapas bars in Spain and Hands down would have to say this place was my favorite!! Food tasted so fresh and delicious.

On Top of everything the service was amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly! They have a bar and a restaurant right next to each other fyi both exceptional!

This place seems to be ultimate place to be in Madrid at the moment. We tried to call for a reservation for days, but nobody even bothered to pick up. So we went there in the evening and the restaurant was packed. Fully booked, on the weekends for weeks in advance. So we reserved a table for lunch. When we came the restaurant was empty, but filled quickly. We ordered different small dishes and white wine. At first we've got some incredible warm bread. So good! We following dishes were all absolutely amazing! Worth all the hassle. The prices are not cheap, but worth it and you can often choose between three dish sizes. Unfortunately in the end our bill was wrong. 10 glasses of wine instead of 6. 12 euro extra. I just HATE it when the bill is wrong. read more

Last night in Madrid and I managed a fantastic Flamenco show followed by this ideal place. Our hotel arranged it (great hotel btw: GRAN HOTEL INGLES). The food here was authentic Spain with amazing grilled calamari; red peppers with dry aged--unbelievable--beef (and I'm usually a vegetarian/pescatarian). The rock fish special was also quite extraordinary. I shall return here. That bottle of Tempranillo RIOJA was delish~ read more

A fine example of Spanish chefs respecting the tapas tradition and classic dishes while updating them for a modern palate. The menu changes often, so you might not see what I had. It's broken into three columns -- each the creation of one of the three chefs. Each dish is served in raciones, 1/2, or 1/3 sizes. We got five 1/2 raciones for three people and were pleasantly full. It's a great vibe. Very busy at the bar, but if you don't have a reservation, that may be the only seat you'll get. Even then, there aren't actually a lot of chairs for the bar -- you'll probably have to stand. The shrimp in filo dough and shiso leaves were fantastic. It was spring, so white asparagus were in season. It came with a lemony cream sauce. Peas and beans with tiny chunks of ham were simple and super tasty. read more

Of all our meals in Madrid, this was the most memorable. The food is outstanding, and going with the recommendation of the bartender served us well. We tried items from every "category" on the menu, as well as some specials, and several delicious wines by the glass, poured at our table. (I know this is non-specific in terms of what to order...asking the server is a far better way to see if you're getting enough food and different tastes to give you a standout experience.) Loved it and cannot wait to return on our next trip to Madrid. read more

Absolutely stellar experience. One of my best meals ever. This was not the warmest and happiest place, but it was the most on point. When we sat, it took us a bit to feel comfortable, but with a spectacular wine selection and a clear knowledge of all of their offerings, the bartender took us on a journey while handling masterfully an entire bar of needy patrons and people waiting to be satisfied. The food was incredible. The wine was incredible. The tourists were abundant, but that comes with the territory. If you can get through any malaise of the outsider feeling and bring yourself to order more than you normally would, you will find yourself having one of the best meals and best times you've yet had in a bar. Cheers humans at Tricolo and bon appétit to those who will venture there! read more

After 4 weeks in Europe & with 2 nights left in Madrid we took the short walk to this amazing spot ... When we called there were no tables for the night but we got a seat at the counter around 9. While the seats were not comfortable the food wine and service made us want to sit all night. We started with some fresh oysters 3 dressed & 3 not. Sauces flavorful & rich; while the plain ones were sweet . We ordered 8 different dishes as raciones & some as 1/2 or 1/3 including the lamb kebab which was not but instead a delicious shredded tender lamb on 4 small flat crispy breads with cilantro, goat cheese & dressing, ravioli confit ( a must !) their version of gazpacho & others. We finished the evening with a last sip of the local vino tinto & a fabulous rice pudding brûlée and a brioche w lemon and the lightest freshest gelato. Have eaten many meals in Madrid...we will return! read more

An excellent recommendation by Lolo (gracias!) we came here on a Monday night at 10pm and it was fully booked with standing room only. I thought it was interesting as the Restaurant was almost empty saturday night around 9pm. I'm still getting used to the late dining in spain. One of the few places that had servers that could speak English well enough to help me with the menu. Google translate also helped as well. I loved the fact that you can get full, half or 1/3 sized plates. The latter is basically tapas size but I would go with a half sized if you're sharing with 3 or more. Otherwise for 2 people a few 1/3 sized dishes with some good drink is sufficient. We got the Civic, rossejat (a seafoood paella made of noodles and sauce), and lomo (venison) All were really excellent and diverse tasting. Bread costs money but the olives are free. Service was quite slow but worth it. Reservations recommended. read more

Behind its crimson facade, the comfortable setting of TriCiclo is an artful dodge to what must be its true mission - to become the best dining room in Madrid. This is seriously nice food that showcases impeccable ingredients and, oh yes, exemplary culinary skill. Before ordering, you'll first have what seems like an oddly-timed meetup with chef. Don't they usually appear at the end? Here you have chef's undivided attention at the outset where he explains, makes notes, suggests. And, his results are pure art... each preparation is presented in unique and beautiful tableware pieces because, as it's said, we first taste with the eyes! Service is attentive and unobtrusive - they are pros. read more
