    Ahoy Mateys!! Well, we finally made it to the infamous pirate restaurant in Madrid. Overall, it's a…read morepretty cool place with a great atmosphere and good food. The restaurant is huge with an inclosed terrace (not heated), a large bar area with a stage and entertainment area, and a two-story dinning area (mucho tables). The entire place feels like a pirate ship with an interior mainly comprised of wood planks and nautical themed items all around. The staff is friendly and helpful. The service is fast and thorough. When you reserve a table, you reserve a timeslot, so they ensure you have enough time to enjoy yourself before your timeslot ends. The menu is vast. We enjoyed two large burgers and two large chicken burgers. Large is an understatement. More like gigantic! Before your meal you are treated with an on-the-house pate. After your meal you're similarly treated with an on-the-house shot (multiple flavors, some with and some without alcohol). One caution: if you're like me and don't like stinky cheese, or as I call it, foot cheese, be sure to ask for the chicken burger without it. Additionally, we had two desserts, blueberry cheesecake and the white chocolate lemon cake. Both delicious and both served with homemade whipped cream. One other thing, they don't have it on the menu but they also offer small servings of gelato. Overall, the meal cost €70 plus the €20 for the reservation (€5 per person). The atmosphere is one of a kind and the food is good. Enjoy.

    Wow, probably the best deal/food around. The lunch menu is 11 bucks and I really don't think you…read morecan finish it all, been here twice in a week and would come again next time I'm in Madrid. Highly recommend it.....

    Since 1895 this restaurant has been serving delights of Spain to customers. We arrived a little…read morebefore 14:00 and the crowd, so we had choice seating. Staff were gracious and welcoming to two tourists. Cochinillo was sublime. Whole suckling pig is roasted so the skin is crisp on the surfaces, but moist and flavorful next to the meat. You are served an ample portion of the ribcage. At this age many of the small ribs have not calcified, so they are tender to chew. Succulent and delicious. Tripa are also cooked low and slow so they melt on your tongue. Sauce is majestic. Our waiter was very cordial and we took his advice to close with the ponche, and we were very glad we did. A soufflée with a wisp of orange zest in the ice cream was the perfect closer. Bravo.

    Duque is one of the oldest restaurants in the world, so we tried it on our trip to Segovia. There…read moreare dozens of places to eat as you walk between the Aqueduct and the Cathedral and Castle. Duque is unique in its heritage, its ambience (indoor, white linen table cloths, nicer dresses wait staff), and the offering of the traditional suckling pig. We made reservations and due to a goof on my part we had to delay it a day. They accommodated without a problem and communicated through email. That said, we ate at around 2 pm and I don't think we would have had a problem if we just walked in without a reservation, but this probably depends on the tourist volume and season. My wife and I ordered the large beans and the suckling pig and salad. It was A LOT of food. We really enjoyed the large beans and the traditional cooking approach using a pork extras broth. The suckling pig lives up to its reputation. The meat was super tender and the skin was very crispy. My wife and I couldn't eat all of our portions, but what we did eat was fantastic. We also had the beer and it was quite good. We ended the meal with coffee, which was very good. We did not eat dessert but it looks like they had some good ones. We probably stayed there for about 90 minutes, which was a nice way to take a break from the beautiful but dominant sunshine. This was probably the most expensive place in Segovia to eat, but we thought it was a great experience and value. As a final thought, we didn't do a very good job as English speakers trying to communicate in Spanish, but with context clues and their willingness to talk a bit in English we managed.
