This place was amazing! The pistachio coffee was incredible full of flavor and perfectly balanced. If you’re looking for exceptional specialty coffee, don’t hesitate to come here!

WOW... this place was amazing from start to finish. Tomato salad, clams, fish and roasted lamb. It was all fabulous. The big boss (Chef) came by several times to check on us. I tried, without success, to get him to take a pic of us for his wall of fame. I told him he needed an American football coach on the wall. Maybe next time. Don't miss this place!!!

Ok I’ve been leaving a few five star reviews in Madrid. But wow these restaurants are good. Today we tried almost everything. But can we start with the house wine?! How is it so refreshing? Tomatoes - just full of flavor Tomato toast + jamon…. What can I say. It is shockingly good jamon. Heuvos rotos - is like an egg fry…. Oddly delicious and unexpected… evidently a typical Madrid favorite but quite good. Fish, steak, clams, lamb… all of it was great. The vibe was classic. Pictures everywhere - reminded me of walking into a 1970s American movie star steakhouse in Palm Springs… except real, Bette, delicious food! So good!

This place was beyond amazing. I must've made a mistake when trying to make the reservation, as it wasn't in their system when our large party arrived, yet they treated us greatly and made space for us to eat dinner. Upon sitting, atmosphere was spectacular, food was unforgettable, great service, and so much more. This should be at the top of your list for dinner in Madrid. The appetizers were all great, churrasco was delicious, and everything else the server recommended was perfect. 10/10 Spanish cuisine.

2nd time visiting, and i found it even better than the first! We loved: Jamon croquetas (best in Spain, & we ate a sh1t-ton), the tomato salad (insanely good, & i hope to be buried with some), any steak (esp. The churasco for 2), & of course the tortilla con chorizo. The staff mostly only speak Spanish - though they re terrific & super-friendly), but my ’Italian-Spanish’ was good enough. Highly recommend!

This restaurant proves that simplicity done right is perfection. They use high-quality ingredients and let the flavors speak for themselves. I had the best tomato I’ve ever tasted in my life.

This is one of my favorites in Madrid, you can’t go wrong eating in this magnificent place. From starters to entrees everything great! House wine Contino is Amazing! Finish with a delicious arroz con leche and a cortado coffee. We were lucky to see Angel, he is retired and Alejandro has taken the management doing a great job, he is also great!
