Greg MilaniMay 5, 2022I always try to make a stop at La Castela when in Madrid. You can try to make a reservation in the restaurant or just have the same food at the bar, disputing space with other people.
Silvia AkiMarch 17, 2016The best food I had in Madrid. Local people only, food is amazing. Go with reservation or stay at the bar. Also go with waiter's suggestions. No English here 😬- PauJune 26, 2017Everything tasty! Tuna, sirloin with foie and grilled squid were incredible. Octopus and squid rice was yummy. Apple tatin with vanilla ice-cream really good. It is worth it, don't miss it!
Stu TysonJune 29, 2016Best Tapas in Madrid! Order a drink and you get a free tapa. Hard to find that these days. The food menu is amazing and the drinks too. Great wine also!
Andrew LitvakJune 29, 2018Definitely a top tapas spot in Madrid. Get a spot at the bar in front and go nuts. The octopus and tuna / peppers “stack” are delicious.
Steve ErtlMarch 8, 2018Clams & shrimp on garbanzos were UH-MAZING! Grab a beer or wine before you order food and you’ll receive a complimentary little tapa(s). A must-go.
LinaDecember 9, 2015The place to be in Madrid! Perfect food(merluza, filet minion...apple cake)Need reservation!
- The Hat MadridJanuary 7, 2014The best value for money in town. Eat in the bar and enjoy the meat, the grilled vegetables, the beer and the service.
- Ye WuJune 28, 2017Tuna belly is very good, must try. Foie is a generous amount, we couldn't finish it. Rice putin is ok. Creamy rice with octopus I really liked it. Although mu friends think it's very salty.
Jastine KhoMay 8, 2019Tough to get a table without a reservation. The bar area, although a bit tight, isn’t too bad. Enjoyed all the tapas we ordered !
Harald B.March 22, 2023Excellent gambas rojas and Secreto Iberico with fine wines. You must not miss it.
Mine ARIKANApril 27, 2015Very local yet super friendly staff to make you feel comfortable. We tasted the tapas all were perfect! Rioja went along with them just fine
Fernando T.December 7, 2014Most likely the best tapas and rationed in town. Only locals, not tourists. Excellent quality of food.
Alex RobertsonJuly 12, 2021Really good food. Loved the steak and the croquettes. Maybe the aged tuna a bit less
- Ozlem InceMarch 30, 2018Chipirones encebollados is delicious. I like the place. You definetely need reservations otherwise you need to fight for a sit at bar.
S AMay 8, 2015If you want to dine, you'll need to go to the back room. While we found difficulty getting an English speaking waiter, we managed and it was an excellent experience.
F. Javier PerazaJanuary 14, 2016With a shameless demode decoration, this place if full of joy and excellent food. Try the Solomillo is the best in town
Tolga YıldırımSeptember 22, 2022Great restaurant with great food. Service was also fantastic and helpful. The best restaurant experience in Madrid so far.- ElisaMay 9, 2017Anchovies and salmon pinchos, and the tuna belly main were very good. No English menu but you'll figure it out :)
Mariana CazaresJune 20, 2016Precio por calidad es fabuloso: mil hojas de ventresca, langostinos, rabo de toro, tinto de verano... Jo'er tío! De las mejores y más auténticas comidas en Madrid!!
- Gigi DazaJuly 2, 2013Tapas exquisitas y productos de mar frescos. Recomendables 100x100 los chipirones encebollados, solomillo con foie al oloroso, ensalada de ventrescas y la Tosta de cabrales con jamón de pato !!
Marina ToconJanuary 11, 2015gran sitio para tomar un vino y acompañarlo de raciones de gran calidad. Marisco fresco, boletus con huevo, arroz, rabo de toro...todo está rico, solo hay que tener suerte y encontrar una mesa
Be PeGrimSeptember 14, 2016Taberna con mucho encanto, buen producto y bien elaborado.Cuenta con restsurante tamb. pero hay que reservar. Muy recomendable. Tapas deliciosas en barra.
Teresa SantosJuly 8, 2017Mi bar favorito de Madrid. La comida es de calidad insuperable y un precio muy competitivo. Buen ambiente de gente. Ensalada de rape y chipirones encebollados lo mejor.- Jose Luis MartinezJune 30, 2016Gamba roja de gran calidad. Impresionante arroz meloso de pulpo. Exotica forma de preparar los chipirones encebollaos y ademas conseguir que esten estupendos. Postres muy buenos refrescantes y autenti
María JiménezMarch 7, 2022Cenamos extraordinariamente y muy bien atendidos por auténticos profesionales. El rabo de toro un "must". Precio por persona 25€ incluida una botella de vino. Muy recomendable.- Casi todo es espectacular, desde la atención, ambiente y por supuesto la comida; la merluza en aceite y el atún rojo son extraordinarios, y de los pinchos el clásico de anchoa, de lo mejor de Madrid
Işıl Yunak SeyhanJune 24, 2016Bugüne kadar yediğim en iyi deniz ürünleri bu restoranda yapılıyor. Yolunuz Madrid düşerse kesinlikle uğrayın...
Erdem YakutSeptember 3, 2017Buraya tek başına gelip de bir şeyler yemek imkansız; çünkü çok kalabalık ve bara ulaşmak imkansız. Ancak Türkseniz başarabilirsiniz. Mutlaka gelin her şeyden yiyin. Muazzam lezzetler var.- Ândrea FigueiredoJune 17, 2017Ambiente animado. Serviço rápido. Doses generosas.Tapas muito saborosas. Recomendamos as conquilhas (5*), o rabo de boi e um prato frio de pimento, atum, maionese e tomate (não lembramos do nome).
Juli GKJanuary 30, 2016Excelente ambiente y excelentes las croquetas de mariscos. Muy buena onda, un lugar único para ir como turistas!
Patrícia FigueiredoMarch 4, 2013100% recomendable. Dejaros aconsejar por los camareros. Mariscos y pescados del día para chuparse los dedos. Buen precio. Se llena pero merece la pena esperar un huequito en la barra.
Milhojas de ventresca, chipirones a la plancha, arroz meloso, el sorbete de hierbabuena y el arroz con leche con leche de coco y mango...entre otras cosas.
Dürdane ErgunAugust 13, 2018Ahtapot yemek için mükemmel bir mekan. Çok kalabalık. Ayakta yiyorsunuz. Porsiyonlar büyük. İçecekler uygun fiyatlı. Tavsiye ederim
MiryamNovember 2, 2012Estupendo ambiente! Recomendado como uno de los cinco mejores bares de Madrid. Camareros simpatiquísimos. Aciertas con cualquier tapa, recomiendo lacón con pimiento y idiazabal y clásico de bonito.
Leire VillarApril 24, 2016Milhojas de ventresca para morir de amor y rabo de toro exquisito. La verdad, tiene pinta de que todo lo hacen bueno. Muy top.
Enrique AlonsoJune 7, 2012El bar de tapas perfecto, caña riquisima y bien tirada, tapas variadas y sabrosas, postres increibles, excelente relación calidad precio y atención al cliente inmejorable!!
Daniel BacigalupoJanuary 9, 2015El lugar espectacular. Las tapas lo mejor. Un ambientes muy bueno y rememora a los bares de antaño.
L Arturo Valdeolmos TrabaAugust 30, 2014Excelente y tradicional!! Un clásico madrileño. Calidad excelente, no lo dudéis, tanto para tapear como para una comida/cena más "sentada"
MemotOctober 5, 2021Fazla diyecek bir şey yok, fiyatları sonuna kadar hak ediyor. Aşırı lezzetli ve kaliteli ortam. Milhoja ventresca ve garbanzos langost mutlaka denenmeli.
