Gourmet food without crazy prices, the duck in a cannelloni is amazing, and the steak is the same. Highly recommend!!

We visited as a group of four on a Thursday night, and the place was very busy and loud. I liked that atmosphere but believe it might not be for everyone. We had to wait in line for a table, but that’s part of the charm of places like this, so it was to be expected. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, with generous portions and very reasonable prices. There was a great variety to choose from, and both the wine and vermouth were very good. The only downside was the service. Even though it was busy, we’ve been served quickly but our waitress didn’t speak English, and a few of our dishes never arrived. It was quite difficult to communicate that we were still waiting for them. Overall, I would definitely recommend it if you want to experience authentic tapas in Madrid.

Was happy with their service when i went with my Spanish friend (felt more welcoming and the staff being very attentive and offering to help us take a picture when we were trying to take wefies). And so I had the same expectations when I went alone 2 days later. However, was disappointed with the difference in treatment, especially the indifference from the lady manning the bar. Was at least thankful that a guy took over the ordering portion and made it less daunting ordering in English. Overall, I felt this distant atmosphere as a foreigner, from the moment I stepped in to get seated till payment. Was hoping I could rate a 5 based on my frist experience with my Spanish friend but I need to take everything into consideration. Price per person: €10–20 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
