The 50 best desserts and snacks in Madrid

Had the vanilla napolitana, a ham and cheese sandwich, and a strawberry cake. Good quality food. After a walking tour, a stop here for their cake got my sugar going again.

The last time I bought a pastry here it was quite tasty, but my recent visit was disappointing. I noticed that one employee, presumably a baker, was moving the pastries from one tray to another using blue gloves. This caught my attention because, unlike the sellers who use tongs, it raises concerns about hygiene. We don’t know how clean those gloves are or when they were last changed, and it’s difficult to ensure they remain clean if removed and put back on. I found this practice unpleasant and decided not to buy anything. While the products themselves may be good, for me hygiene is more important than taste, which is why I’m giving three stars.

Nice place to start off your day, quite a lot of different choices, there are 2 entrances (or one of them is exit im not sure), one of them is with a long queue (right next to metro exit). One little tip is that you should just enter via the other entrance as from what I observed, some people just enter via the other entrance and places order, while for the long queue as they are waiting outside, they do not know their line are getting cut, the staff do not care neither as they are super busy. It is kind of messy but the food tastes good and thats all i care.

Queued before they opened. Came in for the cream and chocolate napolitana and coffee. Came back a couple of days later. They have a queue for a reason! Wish I could have brought back the pastries to Dubai - so good.

Very traditional place, the sweets where amazing. The staff is fast. You also have upstairs a Tea Salon. There is a high diversity of sweets, but also more brunch pastery as well.

My favourite pastelería in Madrid. The first place I visit as soon as we arrive. Grab a table upstairs, eat at the bar, or takeaway and enjoy your food in one of Madrid's many plazas. You won't be disappointed!

This place is an establishment so this review is just a small drop of water in an ocean of information. But we did not see this as a "must try" kind of place. We stopped in for a quick breakfast pastry and we both got a chocolate croissant. They were ok at best. The problem we both had was that they were extraordinarily sweet. While this pastry is always going to be sweet, this was sweeter than dessert-level. It seemed the dough was sweet, the filling was sweet of course, and then it was glazed with sugar or something. While it was fine and all, I'm not sure this lived up to the hype. That said I would come back to try the savory options to see if they are more to my tastes. Obviously the place can be mobbed with people so be aware of that.

One of the better chocolate and churro places in Madrid. It’s been around since 1894 and has one of the commemorative plaques from the city to recognize that. We ordered the traditional chocolate and order of 6 churros. The chocolate was warm, thick and rich full of dark chocolate flavour. The churros were hot, light and crispy on the outside and slightly tender on the inside. The place is super busy. Packed with tourists with a sprinkling of locals. There are multiple seating areas inside and outside, they almost occupy the entire corner of the street up to the Plaza of San Gines. If you don’t want to a it at a table there is takeaway service. You have to order and pay first then are given a ticket before you can queue for a table. If you sit inside you can check out the pictures of all the famous people that have visited over the years. The wait for a table isn’t too bad as people usually leave after about 15 minutes anyways.

Good churros, but the chocolate didn’t totally convinced me 🥺. This spot seems really successful. It has a lot of locations in the same area, one next to the other, and it was full on a Tuesday night! 📍The Venue: All the locations seem very traditional and comfy. 🍽️The Churros: Obviously, we got the churros. Honestly, they were good—not oily and well-made. The only thing is that I felt the chocolate was more like a soup; I think I’m more used to a thicker consistency. The chocolate was also bitter, and I prefer a milkier and sweeter kind (I’m not sure if they offer another type). They are also a bit expensive, which I think is because of their popularity. 💁🏻‍♀️The Service: They were nice and attentive. 💭Final Thoughts: It was nice, but it wasn't something that blew my mind. Maybe it's just not my taste. Even though I still think it’s a nice spot to try some treats.

We came all the way from Australia, and for a churro lover like me, San Ginés felt like a pilgrimage, and it was totally worth it. We visited twice during our trip: once seated downstairs, which has a charming old-world vibe with vintage mirrors, and once upstairs in the brighter area that’s perfect for photos. Both are worth experiencing, and the celebrity photo collages add a fun touch. The queue outside moves quickly (and honestly, it’s part of the fun. You’ll get some great pics for your Instagram highlights while waiting). Though the café was busy, the staff at the counter were kind and patient, happy to explain the menu and help us decide. The churros were crisp, warm, and light, while the hot chocolate was rich with a lovely cocoa flavour, slightly thinner than expected, but perfect for sipping once the churros were gone. Everything was served at just the right temperature for the winter weather, and the vanilla ice cream was delicious too. Even when it’s crowded (which it always is), the staff keep everything moving without making you feel rushed. This place truly lives up to the hype. We loved it so much that we went twice, and we’d happily come again next time we’re in Madrid. For churro lovers... or anyone who believes dessert is a perfectly valid reason to travel, this place is a must-visit.

Chocolatería San Ginés is such a Madrid classic! We didn’t have to wait long, which was great, and the churros with chocolate were absolutely delicious — perfectly crispy and rich. The coffee was okay, nothing special, but the main attraction definitely stole the show. If you want a sweet, iconic Madrid experience, this place is worth a visit!

Heavenly churros. Fried perfectly that they don’t retain oil. Out crunchy and super addictive. Paired with out of this world molten chocolate… can there be a dessert heaven on earth? Here it is! Believe me, at a 120 years old, this chocolateria has got churros and chocolate down to an art form.

The churros and hot chocolate here are undeniably delicious, making them well worth trying. However, be prepared for a long wait, as the line is extensive. Furthermore, the service felt rushed and somewhat lacking, making it less of a relaxed dining experience,

Great churros, amazing hot chocolate. They are obviously famous for a reason! There are several location of San Ginés around that street, so if you want shorter wait time or a place to sit inside, you can walk around and check the other stores.

When served, we were served with what we thought was an ordinary sized portion. As we were eating, we quickly realized that it was at least half the size of all the other “planet ice creams”. When i came to talk about the size of ice cream, the attendant denied everything and didn’t even give a satisfactory answer. I then went and brought one for my brother and it came with the normal portion everyone was being served. me and my girlfriend left Rocambolesc with a bad impression, although the flavor of the ice cream was amazing.

I expected more from a fancy ice cream store owned by a Michelin star chef. 4 soft serve flavors ( tasty) , not all popsicles were in stock.

It was fine. Tastes good but a bit pricey for what you get!

The best ice cream in Madrid! I found the counter staff incredibly friendly and with a great sense of humor. Overall, a great service and product!

Friendly personnel, magnificent food and will definitely come back.

Not sure why people don’t like it here! Ice cream is really tasty and lady behind the counter was really helpful. Not sure what others expect when they get an ice cream at a market store.

We got the Ice Ice Baby slurp. I was expecting it to look more like the demo but it certainly didn't. The taste was good but not amazing. Overall I wouldn't spend a other 6€ for such a a tiny ice-cream that doesn't even look good in photos.

All of these types of markets are very appealing. Whether it's for grabbing a snack or just spending some time, they're really great places. This one was also very nice, but overall it felt a bit expensive to me. One tapa costs €2. Other than that, the atmosphere and shopping options are excellent.

LOVED IT!! Was in the neighborhood and decided to have lunch here. It was absolutely amazing! Much less crowded than San Miguel. Food stands were perfection! Had a great Lunch there.

I absolutely loved this place! There was something for everyone and many options to choose from. We sat on the 2nd floor which has a big seating area. And after food went upstairs to the terrace to a drink. Would definitely recommend! Most of our food was from stalls 18 and 19.

Nice Mercado with good tapas options on the top floor. Plenty of table and counter seating. They have toilets but are accessed by a code printed out on the bottom of your bill from one of the tapas places (so don’t throw the bill out!).

Perhaps I came here at the wrong time of day, but it was virtually empty and the various stands all looked rather depressing, with the food on display old and tired. Also all stands were very similar, with the exception of a Vietnamese place. I walked both floors and left without sampling anything. The hours here are extensive, so I would not have thought at a time when other tapas bars and restaurants were filled that this market would be empty. But, empty it was. Based on my experience, I'll not be back.

I know it's after 9 pm and it's pretty quiet butbi was disappointed on the selection available. The bar on the second floor had good service and the beer was good. The fish stall was where we decided to grab a few tapas. I was pleasantly surprised. The fish wasn't fishy at all. Would I come back? Probably not.

I got a huuuge (the photo dont make it justice) sangria for only 7.5 euros. It was gigantic and supper delicious!! The tapas are okay. I mean dont get me wrong they are also delicious but a bit too oily and expensive. I would say it is worth it if it’s your first time in Madrid. It is a very large variety of tapas. But that sangria tho…

A whole lot of goodies and treats to choose from, so delightful to see the wide array of baked goods. Walking into the store felt like walking into a time capsule bringing me back to great, great grandmother’s era. Fascinating place. The baked items I bought were good but not overwhelmingly so. I have tried better piñones in other stores but the treats here were still good. I would still return to try the rest!

After walking around at the city center, we're having dessert and coffee at El Riojano. The selections of cake was mind blowing, and yet we ended up ordering tiramisu and simple pastry. They're nice. One visit was definitely not enough, next time we'll visit again when we're in Madrid.

The place is very cute with old-fashioned luxury. The staff is friendly even though she doesn’t speak English, she tried to help. The chocolate is thick but not as rich as I had in other place. But comparing to other noisy crowded famous chocoteria, here isn’t a bad choose though

One of the oldest bakeries and tea rooms in Madrid, known for its rich history and delicious treats. The pastries are always fresh. If you visit during Easter, try the Torrija, it’s famous for a reason! My personal favourite is the palmera de chocolate.

Royal cake shop used to be serving royal family sweets and treats. We simply bought two pastry and they're so delicious and delicately made. Love the sweet cream in the pastry. Tasted so smooth and good with the pastry. Would go back again when visiting Madrid next time.

We had a nice experience here. We went early in the morning so it wasn’t too crowded. The pastries were very good, the waiter was very nice. We enjoyed it and we’d definitely come back.

Beautiful pastry store!!! I had pistiño e caracole. The most delicious caracole glazed and with dried fruits.

Great cafe with good food and multiple options to choose from! The hot chocolate was perfect, and Veggie Sandwich was tasty. Overall, service was also good with a calm ambience.

Adorable cafe with efficient service, variety of options and an excellent croissant. Very nice to me as I struggled through my Spanish after a late flight!

My sister and I spent three days in Madrid, after breakfast on the first day we fell in love with Manolo Bakes (Juan Bravo area). We loved the pistachio and lotus lattes and the Manolitos. A special thanks to Diana who welcomed us and helped us with so much sweetness. We will miss Manolo Bakes when we return to Italy❤️

The lady that has helped me these past two mornings is absolutely the sweetest person ever. She is so cheerful and so helpful when you need to decide what to get. Everything we have tried has been great. They have a nice area inside and outside to sit and relax while you drink your coffee

Very nice place with its delicious special croissants. Also I would like to say about the staff , they are amazing, friendly, beautiful people!

Loved this place ! Very comfortable and neat place. Lots of different pastries and drinks they offer. Crowded in the morning but still able to find a table. We tried their mini filled croissants. Offering both sweet and salty fillings. Egg muffin was great too , crusty bread with egg and bacon.

It’s always a good sign when one great café recommends another, that’s how I found Manolo Café. Cozy vibe, tasty pastries, and good coffee. The staff are super friendly and speak great English. One small tip: the iced coffee would be even better with smaller ice cubes or pre-chilled coffee to keep the flavor strong. I’ve already told friends and will definitely be back. One of my favorite spots in Valencia!

Slightly obsessed with the croissant de crema at the moment! Possibly the best croissant in Madrid. Exceptional quality pastries and the service is always friendly and fast. Slowly making my way through their menu!

Best pastry’s in Madrid OMG I mean this is a must food destination I mean french pastry in a mortal format the selectionnis amazing. They have a chocolate ready jar that is amazing. The chocolate croissant is to die for the palmeras de chocolate or elephant ears in English are an absolute must I mean this is a destination bakery please if you are in Madrid stop by you will not be disappointed, they have a cafeteria next door and you can take the food there. I highly recommend this spot do yourself a favor and make sure you go.

The best macarons and caneles I have tasted in Madrid are from here 😍and everything else is just delicious 🤤. It’s only take away and the personnel is very nice and service oriented.

Great macarons and cakes. The more popular flavors of macarons are sold out quite early, so you usually find a much smaller selection by the end of the day.

Found this place by accident after visit El Retiro Park. On the way to Retiro Metro. Two local are there to take away chocolate pastries. There isnt table or chair to sit, so you only can take away. The chocolate cake is the bomb and fresh strawberries in the centre of it. It is not milky or creamy or over sweet but it is perfecto on point chocolate mousse. Mille fuille are crispy. Highly recommended. Will visit again.

The pastries were so good that we had to take some back home. On the day of our flight, we walked in and bought three eclairs and I kept them on my lap for the entire flight. Was worth it

Cute, clean and calm 🍪 ✓ Pricey store but marvelous quality. It's worthwhile to save the money of 2-3 cheap sweets for this. ✓ Pleasant service and take-away was perfectly arranged. ✓ The location is outstanding too, just a bit far from Retiros entrance as you have to border the highway to pass.

The food at this restaurant was delicious, and the atmosphere was great! The steak and cheesecake were especially amazing, but the spaghetti was a bit bland for my taste. While I was generally satisfied with the meal, I was disappointed with the service at the end. I think it was because I didn’t leave a separate tip when paying, which affected the final service experience Overall, though, I was satisfied with the visit!

Diurno is located right in the heart of Chueca and has an impeccable atmosphere. Service was great, and the menu is broad and creative. We started with the confit leeks, which were fine but a bit underwhelming. For mains, we had the beef entrecote and the monkfish with prawns. The dishes took quite long to arrive, and while the food was good overall, I expected a bit more flavor. Portions were also on the small side compared to other plates we saw going by. We finished with a mille-feuille with Greek yogurt mousse and red berries, which was delicious. I’d come back to try other dishes, specially because of the atmosphere.

We were hunting for a breakfast place and came to this beautifully decorated restaurant. The design was sophisticated luxurious and exudes a welcoming warmth. We had the breakfast set at €24.95 each and the serving was very nice with a entre tower to start and a choice of drinks, mains and coffee or tea.

I seldomly write bad reviews. So this is going to be a decent one. The restaurant is decent, the food was just ok. The service was bad, no one understood us, or even tried to. The atmosphere in the restaurant could have been a 5/5 but it was hot as hell. We just wanted to pay the bill and get out to the street again. All in all, for its price, i wouldn’t recommend visiting this one.

Our main motivation about picking this place was its ambiance. But additional to nice decoration, all the food was really good. The service was flawless. Prices are not above the level it should be. In conclusion it was a good experience. I have only one note: they are quite strict about 2 hour table reservation duration. I believe it would have been possible to give us a little bit more flexibility. There were quite enough vacant tables at 10:30 pm. We would have ordered some more food.

Great location and ambience. Lovely modern interior design, but it doesn't feel too stuffy or formal. My partner and I tried the artichoke, steak and fries and squid. All great, even tho I personally prefer artichokes slightly crispier. Generous portions, reasonable prices with a wine menu ranging from affordable to low upper end prices ranges with a fairly good national selection. Would recommend for a casual date night or dinner with friends. Dinner for 2 with a bottle of affordable white wine, one entree and two main courses and a couple of bottles of water clocked in just under 100 euro. Would recommend to the restaurant to stock larger bottles of water too.

The place has a nice atmosphere but I recommend making a reservation for lunch. They have a nice and cheap lunch menu. It’s worth it

Had a great dinner night at Fismuler! Lovely ambience and good service. We loved the smoked artichoke with oyster leafs. It was the highlight of our dinner. We also had the duck, which was unfortunately a bit chewy and not as exciting as we expected. The cheesecake was very special, definitely the right choice for everyone who like a strong blue cheese flavor. Quite pricey but I would visit again.

We were visiting from NYC to see our daughter, who’s studying abroad in Madrid, and wanted to treat her and her friends to a nice dinner. Fismuler delivered! We were a group of ten and were seated at a lovely oval table that made conversation easy and enjoyable. We shared an array of dishes — many of them outstanding. The dorada, alcachofas, arroz rojo, and escalope are not to be missed. Fismuler was incredibly accommodating, and after almost four hours, nine bottles of wine, and lots of laughter, we all agreed: it was a perfect night of great food and great vibes. Would not hesitate to recommend.

One of my most memorable dining experiences! From the first time we walked by and saw twinkling candlelight dancing on simple white tablecloths and reflecting off sparkling wine glasses, I was obsessed with eating there, ourselves. Sometimes an impression disappoints and sometimes it surpasses. The refined rustic setting, exceptional service, creative flavors, and live guitar music, indeed, surpassed my imaginings. The food offerings feature fresh ingredients and are punctuated with the food delivery at table - mixing, cutting, cheese grating - adding to the experience. The juxtapositions of flavors and textures delivered joy to the palate. Creamy cheese with salted ham and sweet peaches touched by a hint of green. Tender sea bass belly with citrusy curly endive. Tender meat perfectly seasoned and breaded. Smooth smoked flan with mango chutney that may have been the best dish I’ve ever tasted. The experience at Fismuler gave us a perfectly paced and delicious romantic evening in Madrid. Gracias!

Great vibe at Fismuler! The schnitzel is amazing – definitely enough for two (or even three). I’d also recommend the artichokes. And don’t miss the cheesecake – very special and a must-try!

It was our first night in Madrid, and we were very excited to dine at Fismuler. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing and upsetting. From the start, we were treated with nothing but disrespect. I don’t know if it was racism, but we were the only guests who were consistently dismissed by the staff, particularly by the person who appeared to be their supervisor. He was wearing a dark blue polo when we were there (Oct 1, 2025) We travel often and dine in many restaurants around the world, and we have never experienced this level of disregard. When I tried to ask about the menu to clarify some dishes, he didn’t even bother to stay for a minute to answer my questions. The final straw came with dessert. I was really looking forward to their cheesecake, but what they served looked very different from the photos and descriptions online. I politely tried to ask about it, but before I could even finish my question, the supervisor cut me off with a curt “yeah, same” and walked away. No explanation, no effort to engage. His manner made us feel like we were a burden to him, almost as if he was disgusted to even be around us. A good front-of-house should show care and respect, especially when guests are trying to understand the menu and enjoy the experience. Instead, we left feeling disrespected and unwelcome. Here’s a photo of the cheesecake we were served:

I made a reservation a month in advance because the restaurant is usually quite busy. I highly recommend making a reservation. For food, I recommend the dorada semicurada and solomillo de vaca nacional, not the duck. The duck was hard to chew. We ordered four dishes, but it was too much for two people. Three dishes would have been enough.

Very nice place with great ambiance lighting and live music. The food was very well curated and high quality, priced accordingly. Good restaurant for a date or for a cozy night.

Few minutes away from the extremely busy and touristic Puerta del Sol, you step into some more Spanish authenticity as soon as you enter this establishment. Still a bit touristic, but you can get a great vermouth with anchovies and olives. Service is fast and friendly, tapas arrived hot. The croquetas are better than the average, the chicken wings are nice but the tortilla is average.

Attractive traditional restaurant with a good value weekday lunch menu at 13.90€ with a choice of 3 starters and 3 mains, dessert and a drink. We enjoyed our salad with peppers and tuna followed by fried eggs with 'morcilla' (Spanish black pudding). Sadly the menu did not include a 'torrija' (Spanish-style French toast) for dessert, so we´ll have to go back!

Busy place, but very fast service. We went on a public holiday so the place was packed. Two of us ordered a regular torrija and a torrija with wine, both were very good. Would recommend, especially if you have a sweet tooth.

To start the review, for the Mexican community, Los callos a la madrileña are very similar to our Menudo. The true local spot that speaks Madrid with their delicious food. The place was funded in 1907, it is the spot for local food. We ordered Callos a la madrileña the dish was amazing, Torrezinos with a potato base that were fantastic and for dessert Tortola de leche, different but delicious. This place deserves to be visited and a higher google ratings.

Just ok, nothing worthy of repeating. Not bad neither, just ok. They warmed up the torrija in the microwave, it was soggy and a bit bland 😮‍💨. I've eaten torrijas in the past in different places and they're crunchy in the outside, creamy in the inside... here nope. Non of that. 😞

It is a very nice local restaurant with great atmosphere and great service. The food was amazing. We have tried for the first time the Torrijas de vino dulce, it was incredibly delicious.

Typical Spanish tapas bar with great food and great service. Highly recommend it.

The place is cool, off the main strip, so it's much quieter for people watching. The food was ok, I guess I should have googled what Tempura in Spain meant. I was expecting vegetables in a batter verses the mush of veggies. The Churros and chocolate was nice.

The staff here are very friendly and helpful! The churros and chocolate was delicious, I highly recommend it :)

DIVINE, freshly fried churros with chocolate!! We had them for breakfast and they really hit the spot. $4.50 for 4 churros and the deliciously dense chocolate for dipping. The chocolate is plenty for another order of 4 churros. Will definitely return before departing! Pictured below is 3 orders of churros. 🤓

Great cheesecake, aromatic espresso and a very nice atmosphere!

The churros where good and light, not greasy at all. The chocolate is a bit dark, which gives it a more mild flavor, not as sweet as you might expect. Very good overall.

Churros we’re fresh, hot chocolate was pretty bland. Very clean atmosphere. Some of the staff were pretty rude unfortunately. We were the only patrons there during the middle of the day and felt like we were intruding.

Terrible dusty chocolate and over fried old churros. My friend had never had them so he now hates the dish overall. Slow clap. Staff were nice and the place is open late. Overpriced.

I don't normally love cheesecake, but my companion insisted we try this place. She got the tiramisu, and I got the apple crumble and the dulce de Argentina. Both of mine were outstanding, with the distinctive apple cinnamon and caramel flavors respectively serving as complements to the cheesecake without overshadowing the distinctive creaminess that makes cheesecake what it is. The Venezuelan owner uses a combination of traditional Venezuelan technique with import ideas from American cheesecake, and the result is something that hits the spot precisely when you're looking for cheesecake yet is still sui generis. I had no plans to get cheesecake today, yet I think this may end up being my favorite dessert in Madrid.

I’m so glad I tried this place during my short trip, the guava cheesecake was absolutely delicious and one of the best desserts I’ve ever had! Really creamy and the right amount of sweetness. There’s no seating unfortunately but I finished my portion in no time

Ran to this store last minute about 10 minutes before they closed. Talked to the owner and got a piece of each flavor except for the dulce de leche, and each flavor was really good and super flavorful. Would definitely recommend!!

Wow. The basque cheesecake was amazing. If you are looking for dessert, don't miss. The tiramisu cheesecake is even better!

Best cheesecake in Madrid!!! Absolutely delicious cheesecake & very friendly owner. You can taste the love and high quality ingredients he makes it with in every slice. We had the traditional basque cheesecake & tiramisu flavours. They beat the competition hands down! (And we’ve tried several cheesecake shops in Madrid). Highly recommended & worth every cent!

I needed to write a review for this place. I wish I could give it 10 stars, because it was the best thing I've ever ingested, and I think about this cheesecake often. It was worth the trip to Spain, and I am quite devastated I don't have access to this cheesecake here in Canada. Me and my friend were travelling around Spain from Canada. We are both really big into food, and desserts, to the point of having a food itinerary. This place was not on our list but we somehow decided to check it out since it was close by and we both love cheesecake. We shared the tiramisu cheesecake. And it was really good. But since I'm not a fan of tiramisu, I suggested we get the original cheesecake to-go to eat later on. We both had a small bite first to try, and soon we had to just finish it on the spot. It was incredible. Both of us were blown away by the experience of eating this leaky, gooey, overflowing cheesecake. She also agreed it was better than the tiramisu since the tiramisu took away from the cheesecake flavour. I wish I could go back again and again. When friends asked us about our highlight of Spain, we answer, this cheesecake at La Dulceria in Madrid!

We tried the Pistachio and the burnt one and they were outstanding. Got an espresso with it which was excellent and acompanied the sweets really well. Owner was super nice as well.

I LOVE this market! It’s a bit touristy, but I love that you can find everything here. The seafood spot and the tapas place are definitely the most popular in my opinion. There’s so much to see and eat, I even got percebes here! Definitely a place worth coming back to.

What's the point t of all that lovely fresh food if you can barely squeeze through anywhere let alone eat your food comfortably? I tried twice in two days. Finally on day 2 I grabbed a fresh kiwi drink and got the hell out of there. Visited these places in other cities, great, here, ridiculously too small.

Mercado de San Miguel is an absolute food lover’s paradise and one of Madrid’s most vibrant culinary landmarks. Housed in a beautifully restored iron structure, the market combines traditional Spanish charm with a modern, bustling atmosphere. Every stall offers something tempting — from fresh oysters and Iberian ham to gourmet tapas, cheeses, pastries, and wines. It’s the perfect place to wander, taste, and share small bites while soaking in the energy of the crowd. The quality of the food is consistently excellent, and the variety makes it easy to build your own tapas adventure. Whether you’re stopping for a quick snack or spending a leisurely afternoon trying everything, Mercado de San Miguel delivers a full sensory experience — delicious flavors, lively ambiance, and a touch of history. A must-visit in Madrid for anyone who loves authentic, elevated Spanish cuisine.

Nice modern high end Mercado to get tapas. You can find things in here that are non-traditional. Lots of fresh flavours but there are also some places where the food looks a bit tired. It’s not a large Mercado so counter space is at a premium. The counters on the inside are packed and you will get jostled. It may be better to get some of the space on the outer window area. One other downside is the prices are more expensive than other mercados or tapas bars. But you are paying for the all in one convenience.

Tons of food options, impossible to find a seat. Was cool to try some Spanish crackers with random fish things on them. They were good…. The crackers were whatever but I guess that’s not the point. I sat outside on the ground. Don’t get why this place is on everyone’s rec list, go to a less known mercado!

They say this is a tourist trap but honestly, I don’t care. It’s a great market with everything. The food is beautifully laid out and they taste good. My favorites are definitely rhe anchovy and sardine tapas from the same shop. 2.50 EUR for each, cheapest in the market AND most delicious!

Amazing choice of food. A little expansive so check prices before buying your food. Very busy so difficult to get seating but well worth the experience and will definitely go back. The steak was amazing and the Jamon was really good although the portion was really big.

We loved our night here!!! We had a great table and were really well looked after by Ruben our waiter. Caesar the AM also oversaw brilliantly !! The food is great, really tasty and we had the amazing bar tender make some special cocktails for us!! The entertainment was amazing! Singer and sax player were awesome

One of our favorite in Madrid. Great food. Good service. Really fun vibe with live show dancing and singing. Fun for all ages in the family. Strongly recommended.

Good location and easy to get to. Great atmosphere and vibe with a live band. Good food but not ideal for vegans. You do, however, have the option to have something made for you off-menu.

The vibe at Tatel is right on. From the moment you walk in, the decor stands out — sleek, contemporary, and incredibly inviting, definitely a fresh take compared to the more traditional Madrid spots. Service? Beyond excellent. There’s a whole team of attentive, knowledgeable waiters ready to help and explain every dish, which was such a plus for someone like me who’s not super familiar with all Spanish food. Their attention made the experience feel extra special. Now, the food — a bit of a mixed bag for me. The eggplant wasn’t my favorite (first time it came out way too salty, but they kindly replaced it). The arugula salad was a total hit though — fresh, flavorful, and big enough to share. The Wellington was also on the salty side, but the solomillo? Absolutely phenomenal. Dessert deserves its own spotlight. Everyone raves about their cheesecake, and yes, it was good… but the apple pie completely stole my heart — warm, rich, and truly unforgettable. As for ambiance, both times I’ve been have felt like a celebration. The first time they had a flamenco performance that elevated the energy, and the second time a woman was singing love songs from the 80s and 90s — perfectly enjoyable and not too loud, so we could still have conversations without shouting. It is definitely on the pricier side for Madrid, but if you’re celebrating something special, I’d say it’s worth the splurge.

atmosphere rather than the food — but the atmosphere is absolutely worth it. Make sure to reserve ahead of time on weekends and ask for a table inside with a view of the stage. Don’t go if you’re not into loud music. I loved the whole concept; while the food isn’t extraordinary, it’s definitely decent. Still, I can imagine some people might feel disappointed if this type of experience isn’t their thing.

This is a lovely fine dining experience. It’s definitely on the pricier side but the food didn’t disappoint and the atmosphere was great. The singer on the night we were there was fantastic. The service was great, it probably took a bit longer to get the bill than we would’ve liked but everyone was very friendly. The cheesecake was delicious, a big serving for one person, great for sharing! The beef risotto type dish we ordered was fantastic. The omelette type dish, croquettes and chips we had to start were also fantastic. I’d recommend eating here if you’re looking for a fancy night out where you can dress up. The cocktails I had were also great!

TATEL Madrid is an exceptional dining experience in a prime location. The ambiance is vibrant and upscale, perfect for a memorable night out. The food is incredibly fresh highly recommend starting with the oysters and following up with any of the fish options. Everything was prepared to perfection. What truly sets this place apart is the live entertainment, which adds a dynamic energy to the evening without overwhelming the dining experience. The cocktails are well-crafted and consistent throughout the night. Looking forward to coming back. TATEL is a must-visit when in Madrid.

An exceptional multi-floor food court, situated in the heart of Madrid and less than five minutes from my hotel. I visited this establishment for lunch with a colleague. We sampled a variety of dishes, particularly enjoying the Venezuelan and Peruvian options. The pricing is reasonable, and the portion sizes are substantial, making them suitable for sharing. I highly recommend this venue.

Decent Bulgogi and a Paulaner we Weissbier. Tables are too close to walk easily. No space to walk around looking at each stalls offerings without bumping into people. Fun and good variety, though.

*not able to singularly locate this particular stall within the mercado, so leaving it here on the general mercado site* If you are looking for Asian food. Just be extra careful ordering from the first 2 stalls upon entering the mercado. The stall’s name is “Asiatico” It sells sushi and “asian food” Ordered chicken fried rice. Costed 12.5€ Verdict : 1/10 The worst food i have had in Spain. The worst fried rice i have ever had in my entire life. Rice was under/uncooked. The texture was hard. Onion was raw. Definitely not sautéed long enough. I will let the picture do the talking. This mercado in my humble opinion is a tourist trap. But in terms of environment - id give it a 4 stars amid the sweltering hot weather outside. It is fully air conditioned. Has outdoor area too. The mercado itself has amazing vibes. Especially on the 2nd floor.

Great place! We went there on two night. A lot of options, and solid servers! Good drinks and food, takes a long time to get it though.

An oasis in a crowded area with a wonderful open food court concept. Don’t stay at the ground floor and go upstairs as there is more wonderful choices. Good is yummy

I’m an old nan, a tourist just learning my way around the city. Been to several Mercados and there are similarities and differences among them all. Mercado de Ildefonso has mo commercial spaces; even the uber touristy San Miguel has a couple of butchers, cheese mongers, and pescatarias. Ildefonso is ONLY eating stalls, but they…and the “market” are superb. Over a dozen “international “ booths with something for everyone. A huge bar (and a second one up on the roof)…Really a lot of fun and great food and drink.

A great place to have something to eat and drink ! In the heart of Chueca, on the grounds floor you can order Japanese or Korean food and upstairs more Spanish staff like croquettes e pinchos y tortillas.

Ok so this review is very interesting. I had the triple chocolate cake (vegan) and it was very good. My husband had the avocado toast which was a HUGE deception given the price: it’s basically toasted bread with avocado on top. No tomato no extra taste no nothing.

The idea of ​​a cozy place with guilt-free treats was very appealing. The place is cute, the service was not good, and when we went at 11, they were out of 80% of the menu. We were left wanting a cheese and ham sandwich and a croissant. The banana smoothie was delicious, and the toast was good.

Do not eat at this place. The one star reviews slow were not lying.I thought the previous reviews were lying so I decided to try it for myself. I am gluten sensitive and so is my daughter, so we decided to have a breakfast pastry and a small coffee on one of our days here in Madrid. The girl behind the counter spoke to us over her shoulder to tell us to wait. No welcome or question about what we would like- to eat in or take away. She ignored our presence for 15 minutes and then told us to take a table. We sat down for 20 minutes being ignored but patient and watched as she preceded to sit and take the order of customer who came after we did. One lady behind us send back her food for being cold and said they had to re do it. I took that as my sign to leave. I can feel and see the disrespect but I did not want to put with bad food on top of everything else. It was clear that the management of this place does not have a good grasp of customer service or the restaurant business. So we took our business elsewhere. Be Warned.

Vegan chocolate cake was heavenly! Went back our last day in town since we were so impressed, the vegan chocolate cake was sold out so we ordered the carrot cake and a chocolate cupcake. Both were dry and not that great. Didn’t seem worth the calories to eat. Disappointed that it was so drastically different. If you go, highly recommended the vegan chocolate cake, but be wary of other options.

We had the celicioso eggs and the pastrami sandwich. The poached eggs were overcooked and the taste was plain. We also tried two cupcakes which were extremely sweet. They did not have any of the juices on the menu (except for orange juice)

Walking past on the way to a nearby shop, the tasty cakes in the window caught my eye. Wish I had kept walking - never going to stop here again. Painfully slow service despite three girls working at the time of my visit. Pity, because the cheesecake tasted great (however, it was served on a warm plate, no attention to basics). Was told to sit and my order would be taken, but it was clear that they prioritised customers who were ordering take out. I was forced to wait too long. After looking into space, patiently waiting, numerous staff went past my table all the while they were “looking busy”. Coffee tasted good even though I had to ask for the milk. I asked at time of ordering for milk in my coffee but they missed it - again no attention to basics. Price of coffee was reasonable, price of cake was not. I adore drinking coffee, I adore visiting coffee shops……but not this one

One day apart, two completely different experiences. We found this restaurant during our research for great gluten free breakfast and rode 50minutes just to eat there. We went on a Friday morning and the food was AMAZING! We both ordered the pastrami on the gluten free bread and ordered an omelet as well- it came with a basket of fries and it was crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside… the fries were perfectly cooked. In addition, the service was great! I think our server was Alberto (sorry if I got it wrong) and he was so professional and made our breakfast a great experience. In addition we ordered two cakes, also excellent! Well, we loved it so much that we decided to go back the next morning (Saturday morning)- we ordered the exact same thing, which was the vegan pastrami and, as you can see on the picture, there is a distinct difference between the two orders. The pastrami bread was not toasted or pressed, did not come with arugula (as described on the menu and accompanied in the sandwich the previous day) and no fries (again, as written on the menu). I took a bite anyways and it was COLD! The items on the inside were literally COLD! Cheese? Cold and not melted. Not room temperature either… it was from the refrigerator to the sandwich cold! I honestly could not believe the difference and as much as I hate complaining, I had to say something to the server (there were two female servers working this day). Upon talking to the server, I explained that it was cold on the inside, it’s missing ingredients clearly stated on the menu and it was missing fries- she just explained there is a “new cook” and they cook the meals differently. Nonetheless she offered to take the sandwich back to remake it. While waiting we ate the omelette, which tasted as BAD as it looks… runny, undercooked. The sandwich comes back, this time with fries but I was surprised to see it was the same sandwich, lol, with my one bite that I took missing from it- I ate it, I paid for it and tipped the waiter but I honestly felt so disappointed and confused. How did it get so bad overnight? How can a restaurant possibly allow two completely separate plates to leave the kitchen? COLD? I wish I never went back the next day and preserved the wonderful memories from the previous day. Lastly, I have 150+ reviews and it’s rare that I write a negative one. I recommend this place based on my experience on Friday morning but really hope that this restaurant trains their new cooks better to set them up for success. Pictures attached: Pastrami with fries from day 1 and omelette. Last two pictures are from the second day :(

Amazing restaurant, super friendly staff, amazing tasting menu. It was an amazing experience. I highly recommend it. They also made my 6 year old son feel welcome! Definitely coming back

Dining at Lua was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The quality of the food, the attention to detail, and the overall ambiance make it a standout in Madrid’s culinary scene. We started with the octopus, which was beautifully prepared—tender, flavorful, and a perfect way to begin the meal. The freshly baked bread they offer is also worth mentioning—warm, soft, and truly delicious. For the main course, I had the steak with fries. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection, bursting with flavor and expertly seasoned. It was accompanied by crisp, golden fries that balanced the dish nicely. Additionally, Lua’s wine selection is outstanding. The variety and quality available are impressive, with options that perfectly complement the menu. Without a doubt, I’ll be returning next time I’m in town. Highly recommend for anyone seeking refined cuisine and top-tier service in Madrid.

What a surprising and great dinner! We had a fantastic meal where we tried incredible and interesting dishes. The pigeon was the star of the show! It would’ve been perfect if the wine pairing could’ve been explained a bit better or in general a bit more time for service and enjoyment of the atmosphere was possible.

I had the worst Michelin star experience ever. I ordered their 9 course tasting menu and none of the dishes really appealed to my taste. The food quality and cooking skills fell short of what I expected from a Michelin-starred establishment, and the lack of creativity was especially disappointing. The second appetizer tasted extremely fishy and sour, so my friend and I couldn't finish it. The starter course with salmon, mayo, and lime zest was just okay. The mayo tasted like the kind you buy at a regular supermarket. Among the nine dishes, the foie gras with puff pastry and candied pistachios stood out as the best, but even that had its flaws. It turned out to be too sweet for a savory dish, and the pastry itself was oily and lacked the desired crunch, resulting in an uncomfortable mouthfeel. The remaining courses were equally disappointing, leaving such a lackluster impression that I can hardly recall what I actually ate. The service and atmosphere were fine. The staff were professional and polite, but I was "spoiled" with the warming, friendly and attentive manners of other non-starred and Michellin-starred restaurants I have dined in before.

We went there upon recommendations from friends. The place is nicely decorated and wait staff were friendly and spoke English well. We had the degustation menu. The menu was definitely interesting and the kitchen definitely tries to experiment with flavours. I think the highlight is definitely the cappuccino dish. Visually interesting and flavours were good. A couple of dishes like the fish and roast pork could be better balanced with flavours. For example, the hoi sin sauce on the roast pork could be much stronger. Overall, it was a nice experience and with a few minor tweaks in the flavours I think this restaurant is amazing.

Our visit to Lua was one of those cozy, warm experiences that you treasure forever. We had wonderful food and wine in the company of good friends. The service we received was incredibly friendly and informative, both elegant but approachable, intuitive to our needs. We chose to start with an order of Foie Midcuit Sobre Empanada De Pera Y Queso San Simón Caramelizado, and a half order of impeccably soft and supple Pulpo a Feira. My companion ordered their Lubina con Verduritas, and I had the Verdinas con Carabineros, and the Raya En Caldeirada Sobre Sopa De Ibéricos. For dessert, I had the Brownie con Helado de Turron y Trufa (yes, it had authentic black truffles shaved on top) and my friend a "deconstructed" Tarta de Santiago. The whole meal was amazing; some of the dishes were elevated versions of traditional Galician dishes (the Verdinas or the Tarta de Santiago) while others were successful experiments (like the Fois Midcuit or the crazy-delicious Brownie with Turron Ice Cream and shaved Trufa). Lua deserves their 2023 Michelin star!

Great tasting menu, I loved the appetizers, and as a favorite dish I would choose Corvinya fish. The chef makes a good work with the sauces. I missed not getting a second dessert. The service was excellent, they had good pace for all dishes with minimal wait time. Large wine menu. For 1 star Michelin I missed the Chef at the table asking customers about the experience, I find that to give a super value to this adventure as at least you learn how some flavors are achieved. Ginger on carpaccio was magic. Many dishes with flowers, and very colorful. Will definitely come back when they change menu. They only had one tasting menu which helped to everyone at the table eating together. Good price for a 1 star. My only missing thing is a menu in paper to follow what you ate, what you re eating and what's remaining.

I stopped by Maestro Churrero this morning and it turned into one of my favorite café experiences in Madrid. The place feels warm and welcoming and the service is honestly what makes it special. Our server Clarisa Estrelloso was truly amazing. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we sat down. You can tell she takes pride in her work because she treats every customer with real kindness. The rest of the staff also seemed very professional and pleasant. We ordered a café macchiato dulce, a café con leche, empanadas, and a crepe with Nutella. Everything came out fresh and delicious. The empanadas were warm and flavorful and the coffees were smooth with perfect foam. It was the kind of simple breakfast that just feels right. If you are in the area I definitely recommend stopping here. The food is great and the servers are excellent. I would happily come back anytime.

Delicious churros! Maestro Churrero Chocolatería serves fresh, crispy churros with rich chocolate that’s perfect for dipping. The taste is great and portions are generous. Cozy spot, quick service, and a nice place to take a break while exploring the area. Highly recommend for a sweet treat.

If you’re looking for a delicious treat, Maestro Churrero is the place to go! Their churros are simply out of this world—crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. The rich flavor and just the right amount of sweetness make them irresistible. What truly sets this place apart is the amazing service provided by Clarissa. She is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every customer feels welcome. Her recommendations were spot on, and her enthusiasm for the churros is contagious! Whether you’re indulging in a classic churro or trying one of their creative toppings, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t recommend Maestro Churrero enough—definitely make it a must-visit!

Jetmark was an amazingly friendly face! He got us all hooked up. He gave us the best recommendations and we ended up with the best meal. So happy and satisfied with the way everything came out. Our coffees even had a heart on them! Shoutout to Jetmark!!! He's awesome!

Really lovely experience. We sat outside and Clarisa was lovely, put the heating on and served us promptly. The churro bites with Nutella were amazing! My friend has the caramel sauce which was equally delicious :)

We dropped in for breakfast here while visiting Madrid on vacation. It was an excellent and easy breakfast spot. We had the churros with chocolate sauce and the Serranito sandwich that was very tasty. Jorel and Miguel both helped to seat, take our order, and serve us and they were both excellent and very attentive when it was a busy morning with many customers. Would definitely recommend!

Maestro Churrero had exactly what we were looking for… crispy, delicious churros with dulce de leche dipping sauce. Clarissa and crew were all incredibly friendly and kind. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Madrid!!!

Really good pistachio pop!

it's no so gut

(Translated by Google) Very good ice cream parlor. It has a wide range of ice creams, tubs, etc., tables inside and the place is new. The treatment is fast and efficient. The ice creams have a good price. (Original) Muy buena heladeria. Tiene una amplia gama de helados de hielo, tarrinas, etc, mesas dentro y el local está nuevo. El trato es rápido y eficiente. Los helados tienen buen precio.

(Translated by Google) It's not bad, the prices are pretty good, and the ice creams have some variety, and are delicious. The service is fast and the place is nice, clean and not overcrowded. Although the truth is that it looks better from the outside than it really is. It's an ice cream parlor with a little more twist (the shakes, the toppings, the popsicles, the donuts...) but it's not wonderful. I add that the smoothies are delicious, but some toppings are the perfect size to clog the straw, which is a little annoying, although it is an easy solution 👌. I recommend it if you want something simple but with a special touch, but if you are looking for something amazing, surprising or innovative, this is not the place, even if it claims to be. (Original) No está mal, lo que son los precios están bastante bien, y los helados tienen algo de variedad, y están ricos. La atención es rápida y el sitio es bonito, limpio y no está a reventar. Aunque la verdad que parece mejor desde fuera de lo que en realidad es. Es una heladería con un poquito más de rollo (los batidos, los toppings, las paletas, los donuts...) pero no es una maravilla. Añado que los batidos están deliciosos, pero algunos toppings son del tamaño perfecto para taponar la pajita, lo cual es un poco molesto, aunque de fácil solución 👌. Lo recomiendo si quieres algo sencillo pero con un toque especial, pero si buscas algo alucinante, sorprendente o innovador, este no es el sitio, aunque lo pretenda.

(Translated by Google) Excellent shake with donut and toppings! A treat for a day, but not daily. Adequate quality-price ratio and the premises are simple and clean. (Original) Excelente el batido con donut y los toppings! Un capricho para un día, pero no diariamente. Relación calidad-precio adecuada y el local sencillo y limpio.

(Translated by Google) The typical ice cream stick but made by hand and in the form of a chocolate bar. They call them popitos and you just have to choose the flavor, the chocolate sauce to cover it and the topping you want to add. We discovered it during our #Ice CreamRout :) (Original) El típico helado de palo pero elaborado artesanalmente y en forma de tableta de chocolate. Los llaman popitos y sólo tienes que elegir el sabor, la salsa de chocolate para cubrirlo y el topping que te apetezca añadir. Lo descubrimos durante nuestra #RutaDelHelado :)

(Translated by Google) This Galician ice cream parlor has brought to the city its famous 'popitos', which are artisan ice creams with a stick in which you choose the coverage and topping you want and they make it for you at the same time. They also have tubs, frozen yogurt, shakes and smoothies. Ah! There is gluten-free and vegan ice cream. (Original) Esta heladería gallega ha traído a la ciudad sus famosos ‘popitos‘, que son helados artesanos con palo en los que se elige la cobertura y el topping que se desea y te hacen en el mismo momento. También tienen tarrinas, yogur helado, batidos y smoothies. ¡Ah! Hay helado sin gluten y veganos.

Pleasantly surprised I found this gem so soon! Matcha is great. Place is nice and spacious. Staff were super cool! They’re also one of the best coffee shop this year! If you don’t know what that is, it’s basically a collection of awesome coffee shops in Spain. I’m not surprised at all. Definitely add this to your list!

We enjoyed so much. The Turkish eggs , amazing meal. Toast with jamón and crumble eggs , so tasty, for dessert we had matcha cake , yummy. The only things waitress looked so unhappy and angry, everyone noticed and was talking about these way they served the guest of this great place.

I absolutely loved HanSo - so much that I visited twice in one day! Their coconut matcha was excellent, and I tried their avocado and scrambled egg toast for breakfast, along with their spicy turkey sandwich for lunch. My partner had a bacon, egg and cheese bagel and the kimchi & bacon sandwich. All of our food was delicious, and I am thankful to have made such a lovely memory on my trip to Madrid!

A cozy and stylish spot with a great atmosphere! The coffee here is perfectly balanced — smooth, rich, and beautifully presented with latte art that shows real attention to detail. The waffle with fresh fruits was absolutely delicious — soft on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside, and topped with a generous variety of fresh fruits and maple syrup. I also tried their shakshuka, which was full of flavor and came with freshly toasted bread — a great choice for breakfast or brunch. The service was friendly and quick, and the overall vibe was calm and modern, making it an ideal place to relax or catch up with friends. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality coffee and a good breakfast in Madrid ☕🍓🥞

Hanso Cafe is such a gem in Madrid. The moment you walk in, you feel this creative, cozy vibe — the kind of place where the coffee actually *means* something. Their menu is simple but done with real care, and the quality of the coffee honestly stands out from most cafés in the city. The staff are friendly without trying too hard, and they make the place feel welcoming even when it’s busy. I loved the mix of locals and travelers, the relaxed energy, and the attention to detail in every drink. Whether you’re grabbing a quick flat white or settling in for a slow morning, Hanso is the spot. One of my favorite café experiences in Madrid.

The food was really good, and the staff were nice. The only downside is that the indoor seating area is very small and tight. It was difficult to sit down or leave without disturbing other diners, as they had to get up for us to pass.

FIVE STAR. I am visiting Madrid for 3 days and I have gotten the coconut matcha 3 times. It was so delectable I had to drink it all up before my friend stole some from me.

Servers were not paying attention to the clients, keeping talking amongst themselves, even after we started ordering. Asked for a cone, got a cup (not a big deal in itself but they did not want to hear what the clients wanted). Ice cream melted quickly as well, but the real problem was definitely the big chuck of plastic that I found in the straciatella that almost broke my tooth.

Amazing experience at Mistura Ice Cream. Nice flavors with a tasty and interesting one: salty chocolate. The serving with smashed toppings was original and the staff was super nice. I recommend 100% for an ice cream in Madrid

Fantastic ice cream prepared with topping before your eyes. 2 flavours incl 2 toppings for 3,95€! Few seats indoor, a bit hot during my visit so outdoor seating would have been nice. WC available.

Went to the Mistura outlet at Augusto Figueroa. Fell in love with the place, even more so with the food. The waitress was really friendly and helpful and gave us good recommendations for the best ice cream / sorbet that pairs best with the waffle we have chosen. We especially love the dark chocolate sorbet. Thick, refreshing and every mouthful is a joy. You’ll not get sick of it at all. We also had the pistachio ice cream with the dulce de leche sauce. The pistachio ice cream was nutty and added a very earthly taste to the sweet sauce. Those topped onto the crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside waffles brought me and my partner to food heaven. Also, we would like to give a special shoutout to the lady serving us for our great taste in music! Dean Lewis ❤️ Made our eating experience even better!

The best Granizado in Madrid. Natural and fresh. We visited many times during our trip. Highly recommend!

Cute little ice cream place in Madrid. Ice cream was nice, maybe not the best I’ve ever had in my life but still good ones. Price around 4€ for 2 Scoops and toppings.

Best icecream in Madrid！The stuff Brian was very kind！！！Don’t forget to try the crepes, there are so tasty.

Probably the best and lesser known mercado in Madrid. More suited for the locals and a variety of places to eat. Check out Asian Army if you're into Asian food and try the Laksa!

If you're ever near Mercado Anton Martin, you have to go find Consentida Dore, it's an authentic pinchos and vermouth stand , perfect for a quick bite and break from the heat, delicious food and very budget friendly, 10/10

This is definitely not a tourist destination, it's a local market with a Hugh selection of meats, fresh vegetables and fruit. If you want what the locals eat, where the locals shop, this is your place. Absolutely loved it. We went early so some stands weren't open but it was still very worth going.

I was brought here on a local food tour and it's world's away from the super-touristy alternative. Food is great, reasonably priced and you can actually sit down. Plus it's a real working market where locals buy groceries. Most stalls close for parts of the day so time your visit carefully.

What a place! A living market, not just a tourist attraction where you could do your daily shopping as well as savouring an amazing selection of foods from almost all over the world in very convivial surroundings. It gets very busy and it is fairly small too on two levels so pick the time of your visit well and avoid the height of rush hour.

This is not too touristic place. Worth visiting to have a drink and a snack

So much better than the busy food markets in town. Worth the 15min walk away from the middle of the city. More authentic, cheaper, friendlier, Can actually get a table and eat. Love it

Best palmera (elephant ear) I've had. Buttery, flakey, delicious. They have an assortment of pastries and chocolates. Very chic seating area to have coffee or tea. I come here every time I'm in Madrid and the quality is consistent.

Beautiful place with a sophisticated atmosphere and pleasant vibe. Service was quick and kind, although not as refined as the setting suggests. We ordered two café solo, one bottle of Agua Cristal, one Cuatro Texturas dessert, and one Pistachio dessert. Everything was excellent — both desserts and the coffee were outstanding. The total was €24.60, which I found fair considering the quality and sophistication of the place. Overall, a great experience with nothing to complain about.

I don’t speak English so after I ordered and wanted to sit at the back in the nicer part of the cafe, she seem to be indicating that the area is for some special order and I can only sit in the front. I was also made to bring the cake to the table myself while I see everyone else being served to the table. Not sure what’s with the special treatment. Nonetheless, cake is nice but rather one dimensional aside from the outer shell which adds to the crunchy texture.

Had a few fancy sweet snacks for a late breakfast, our favorite being the lime tart that was complex yet light. Cafe con leche was excellent as well and very friendly service in the table section of the store.

One of madrid’s best bakeries. They have a selection of their signature pastries in a miniature version so you can enjoy multiple treats in one sitting.

I have been coming here to buy their desserts many times in the past, now they have this new salon to let you enjoy some coffee or champagne. Also the most important for me to enjoy desserts here. The new salon is really comfortable and well decorated with good design. We will definitely come back for more times in the future.

Fancy little shop with adorable n tasty pastries. We could not get seat anywhere it’s bit small but they have an adjoining room unfortunately it was full. Had croissant n bf some other bread topped with sugar.. both were ok I guess it would taste better if we could sit n join with coffee😎😎

Currently eating here. Ambience is lovely and the pastries look great. I had the eggs with bacon — they were good. But the bread was literally rock-hard and completely inedible (see photo). Service was disappointing: the café was nearly empty, but the waitress seemed rushed the entire time. She practically threw the plate at me and dashed off before I could even ask for water. For the prices they charge, this place is not worth it. Wouldn’t recommend.

It’s fantastic, delicious, professional, and clean, with a beautiful atmosphere. The staff are attentive, friendly, and quick. There’s a wide variety of snacks, and although the prices are slightly above average, it’s definitely worth it. I also really enjoyed the music. It’s centrally located, close to Sol Square.

Very nice and stylish coffee shop. Prices are higher than the average high street coffee but the pastries are divine and worth it!

Very special location with excellent pastries and breakfast/ brunch. the service was also friendly. every baked good here is crafted with love and fine ingredients which one can taste.

The best patisserie in Madrid! Ana, the owner is there every day making sure the place runs smoothly with her very kind and warm personality. Her husband was trained at Le Cordon Bleu and they have a great selection of breads, pastries, desserts, cookies, eggs, and sandwiches and everything tastes amazing! Their hojaldre de pistacho (puff pastry with pistachio) stole my heart!!! One of the places I miss the most from my trip is this one. If I ever live in Madrid, I'll work from this place!

We decided to go to Santa Eulalia for morning coffee and a pastry and I'm so glad we did. The staff were so kind and helpful. The setting is so beautiful, the pastry was delicious. I had the pastry filled with hazelnut cream. It was fresh and just the perfect amount of hazelnut cream filling. The coffee was absolutely delicious too. We highly recommend Santa Eulalia!

a nice place to enjoy your day. you can start with brunch or go straight for dessert. the cappuccino is one of the best I've tasted in Madrid. the server gave an excellent service, so we had the best lunch time. pay attention to the glass floor, you find history there.

My favorite morning cafe in Madrid. I love the vibe, great atmosphere. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. And the selection of food and pastries is amazing. Highly recommend!

I absolutely adored this place, so much so that I made it a daily stop during my stay in town. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and the pastries are simply delicious. The vintage ambiance of the location adds to the overall charm of the establishment.

Lovely visit to Cuidate con Viena with my husband during our trip to Madrid. Best coffee and wonderful cakes and pastries!

Dana was a very friendly and accommodating camarera. I enjoyed the albondigas at her recommendation. This place has been around for centuries and, should they continue to be so delicious and have such great service, they will be around for centuries more

Great food and the best service in town!

Great, traditional place at good prices. And super-friendly service from Lily and the rest of the staff

Perfect place for breakfast, waiter Carmen was very pleasant and helpfull ☺️

I wouldn’t call this geloto, but overpriced ice cream. I understand that it’s located in tourist area, but I dis expect something better. The staff, in my opinion, look not friendly and not even a little smiling.

Delicious!! They are so nice, and let you sample flavors. The “traditional mix” of pistachio and chocolate feels like Dubai chocolate in gelato form. So good!

Delicious ice cream! I had the coffee and lemon flavours in a cone and they were perfect. Double espresso was also fab

This little Ice cream place doesn't look particularly flashy, but I can tell you, it is some of the best tasting ice cream I've had in a long time. I tried Mango and Hazlenut and they were fresh tasting, not too sweet and so smooth!

There’s a consistent line up at this place for a reason! The Nocciola, Pistachio and Faro di Latte were what our tastebuds got to enjoy and they were not disappointed. Plaza de Olavide is nearby — perfect for people watching, perusing the cute pop up vendors art/knickknacks and to get a little sample of Madrid life.

The Coffee ice cream was very lichid, I have asked why and got answered that is not mixed. There were 2 coffee containers and I was served from the slush one…

Top service and very nice tasting high quality products.

She’s a looker and a stunner. Although somewhat challenging to eat during the summer heat 😬 An excellent choice if you’re willing to try something yummy And fun.

Really wanted to come here to try while visiting Madrid for the unique ice cream experience. It’s definitely a bit different, more froyo than gelato type ice cream. You can add whatever toppings are available. The fish was softer than we were expecting, but still really good. Overall delicious and glad we tried, but not what we were expecting at all.

The Taiyaki was very very dry and tasteless! And the ice cream is not good anymore here! With less option to choose from in the middle of summer and ice cream season! And it tasted very industrial Go buy your ice cream in a supermarket! I assure you it will be better than here!

Super friendly staff, delicious and amazing ice cream! Keep in mind, the shop is very small. You'll need to plan on waiting in line outside the store during busy hours. It's definitely worth the wait though! A must visit when in Madrid!

Friendly service, choice of either a chocolate or vanilla fish and 4 flavors of soft serve/froyo you can mix and match plus two toppings. Ice cream is refreshing and the fish itself is delicious! Stumbled upon this gem by accident and a happy accident it was! ☺️

A very small location, usually with queues, to buy Taiyaki (soft serve ice cream served in fish-shaped waffle cone). You have two options for the cone: vanilla or chocolate and 6 options for the ice cream, including vanilla, chocolate, salted caramel, and matcha. For 1€ extra, you can add 3 toppings, including crumbled Oreos, molten chocolate, or pretzel sticks. To be honest my ice cream was good but nothing out of the ordinary; price was ok (4.50€ with the toppings) but I don’t know what the fuzz is about this place (other than a perfect IG pic). I went right before it opened at 3pm on a Sunday and there was a queue already.

MATCHA ICE CREAM TAIYAKI IS THE BEST! Would really recommend this yummy Asian treat to anyone looking to switch it up on their dessert routine! Love this ice cream shop! Sadly, so does everyone else, so expect a long line! But worth it in the end.

Amazing 100% vegan place! Great selection of vegan food and desserts. The croissants are really good, I would recommend the ham and cheese croissant. They have a big menu with lots of different options and some deals for breakfast/brunch/lunch. From breakfast to burgers and tacos, cake and ice cream to waffles and milkshakes. This place has it all! The service is great and the food is reasonably priced. Visited 4 times in 3 days. Would 100% recommend!

Very central, honest price. The guy that was serving was lovely, and the woman was very uneasy/kinda stressed out, but that happens I guess. Food was great apart from the 2 long hairs we found on 2 separate items we ordered… The environment is v fast food/diner style for very casual meals!

The restaurant was so cozy and the area was beautiful too! The staff there was very kind and talkative which I liked. The food was displayed nicely and it tasted as good as it looked, just thinking about it makes me hungry 🤤. Overall great vegan place with lots of variety🙌

What can I say that's not already been said. I wish I had been able to go to Freedom Cakes some more times. First time I just had the baked cheesecake, I could not believe all of those cakes were vegan! Second time I had a croissant, everything was great. I actually sat in there eating my cake with tears in my eyes asking why can't everyone just be vegan and eat like this ? !

My non-vegan friends were astonished. Waffles, cakes and all the other things that we got were delicious, nothing to complain! Everything is vegan and it’s very tasty and well-presented. The only thing was that some staff members were not always as friendly and smiling as in other places but I guess it depends on the day (also, they didn’t ask what kind of plant-based milk my friend wanted which would have been appreciated). Prices are slightly higher in comparison with other non-vegan places but it’s definitely worth trying. I ate things that I’ve never tried before because their menu has plenty of options which gives it a plus. On the tables in the “terraza” it says that there’s a +10% of the final price but I don’t know if they really applied it (if they didn’t, I appreciated!). I would definitely go back

I came here on my own while waiting to check in to my hotel. I had the breakfast bap, curly fries and masala tea. I was very happy with my choice although the fake bacon was too close to bacon for my liking. I don’t really like meat or most fake meat but this was my mistake and I’m sure vegetarians/vegans who like the taste of meat would enjoy it. The music was nice and not too loud. It was around noon and there weren’t a lot of staff around, in fact, only one person was manning the main area. She’s very efficient and friendly enough, patient with my poor Spanish, too. I decided to stay longer and order a milkshake which was a good decision. It’s possible to ask them for tap water (with ice, if you like). All in all, it was a lovely choice for brunch and I’d come back again.

Really cute all vegan diner. Service is nice. Their daily menu is worth the money, however I don't think their brunch menu is worth it as you get very little of the "egg" scramble and just 2 slices of "bacon". That being said their cheesecake is the best vegan cheesecake I have EVER eaten. Definitely a must try. I would recommend this place to stop there for a cake or other sweets. I haven't personally tried their milkshake but it seemed very popular with other guests and it looks great.

The real deal, old style nougat shop. In the heart of Madrid...still a place for locals. Super friendly staff and a great place to try out your Spanish! A wide range of authentic 'turrones' (nougats) plus bonbons, marzipans, almond treats. Rotating display in old style shop window. Worth a detour if you are tired of the tourist plastic!

Great chocolates. Bought a couple to try then bought a bunch more because they were so good. We got the truffles and some other little chocolates. Good price, very friendly staff, would definitely recommend and try other items.

The Long queue of people waiting their turn to enter speaks about the reputation of this traditional sweets house. I admire their regulations of covid restrictions, the efficacy of their staff attending the customers, and for sure the perfectly made delicious “Mazapan”.

Love this classic store… Not only is it beautiful, staff very friendly but the Turrón & the Piñonadas are incredibly good!

QUEUING UP TIME. One of the most delicious Christmas sweet we have is nougat. You must visit Mira for the best nougat and other Christmas specialities in the world, even in summer! They have dozens of types and you can choose buy packed or cut to the quantity you want in front of you. You will actually see the bars of turrón coming out the kitchen, shiny and creamy. To me the king is Jijona type, don't miss marron glace and glaced fruits too. In December you will have to wait in queue for a good one hour sometimes but you won't regret it.

The store makes a huge impression, the display look surreal. Unfortunately, the quality of products isn't the best and definitely not worth the money. I bought a brownie there which looked super delicious but wasn't; covered in chocolate like mass (more like fat) and was very underbaked and tasted more like cheap chocolate cake rather than a brownie. Would probably not visit again.

This place is good for delicious pastries. We had a few things here but our favorite was a fillo with custard. Very flaky, crunchy and the cream was not overly sweet. There was also a big donut like pastry with custard that was good. I didn't have the turons from this place but they looked good as well. The attendants don't smile a lot or greet you but Ive noticed that in a lot of places here in Madrid where you don't sit down to eat are the same. Who knows.

September 2022 - I forgot to post this review. Very nice place, it is an ancient pastry shop still furnished in ancient style. Good service. The biscuits were really tasty and varied.

Attractive old fashioned bakery doing a roaring trade among native madrileños. The 'suizo' buns we bought were very good

Madrid is known for its warm people and vibrant atmosphere, but this bakery? It’s like stepping into a sitcom where the grumpy old lady is the star—and not in a good way. The cashier’s charm is so nonexistent, you'd think she’s been hired specifically to scare tourists away. Smile at your peril, because you’ll get a glare colder than a Madrid winter. And the prices? Let's just say your wallet will feel lighter faster than you can say "croissant." Even the overpriced pastries seemed to be thinking, “Are we really worth this?” If you want a lesson in unfriendliness served with a side of daylight robbery, this is your spot. Otherwise, keep walking, Madrid has way better places to charm you!

The oldest bakery in Spain since 1830 Try their torrijas and also their cream puffs / pie They have kept their tradition alive, not moderised it

Seems like it might be the oldest bakery/patisserie in Madrid! Founded in 1830. Small, but lovely and. The servers were happy to be there and very helpful. We got mini chocolate éclairs and a roscón de reyes (Christmas sweet bread). All fantastically tasty. There was a line outside and that's how we discovered this lovely shop! Definitely recommend!!

It is one of the oldest pastry shops in Madrid, established in 1830. Its signature item is the Roscón de Reyes, a round, ring-shaped cake traditionally eaten on January 6th for Three Kings' Day. Notably, this version does not contain a figurine or a bean inside. Their pastries, including Empanadas, Hojaldres, and Ponche, are also delicious.

Recently tried Huesos de Santos. The ones we tried in the shop were good, but the ones they packed us to go barely had any filling.

Listen, this place is absolutely amazing. In spain, I have been dying to perfect vegan donuts and this is literally the best donuts I've had here. Everything is vegan... the chai latte is 🔥 👌 soooo good. I would come over and over again just to drink that. They have regular donuts and some that are a bit different. I decided to try a pesto donut. I loved it because it was filled with cream cheese and was nutty and savoury. My kids did not like that one, but they enjoyed all the others. I also tried their bagel and it's huge! If you're hungry, I guarantee it's going to fill your stomach! The atmosphere is very tranquil and relaxing. It is literally near to other vegan places in Madrid..so it is a must visit for anyone there. The staff were also extremely kind and helpful. This is an amazing place. 👏

Great place!! Everything is vegan, and you can feel that they really care about doing the right thing, whether it is about being plant-based caring about animals, gender equality for LGBT or human rights for condemning the gen0side in Palestine. The pistachio donut is giant and tasty. The mokka donut was excellent as well. Thank you, lots of love, and frea Palestine from zi0nism occupation ✌️🧡🐶🏳️‍🌈

Vegan donuts, my first try in my entire life and.. I loved it! The place is such a gem. Spcious, good donuts and coffee. Can't use a laptop during the certian time when the shop gets busier. If you come when not busy, it is such a relaxing place to enjoy coffee and donuts. Highly recommened.

Very cool place! Due to a dairy allergy, we are always looking for places with vegan sweets. Here we had quite a selection. Sensational cinnamon roll and pistachio cream roll. We went back there three times during our three-day stay in Madrid ;-) Coffee also very good, sensational home made ice tea (but unfortunately not often available). Clean place, very friendly staff.

Very lovely place in Madrid, the cappuccino was amazing and also the stuff was very kind. Truly recommended.

I love the lavender latte and the coffee here is pretty good. Highly recommend the vegan donuts!

I'm not even vegan, but I was looking for a donut shop in the area and found this one, which was the best rated. And that is well deserved, the donuts/patries are very fresh and incredibly tasty. The staff is also very friendly and spoke English. The only downside is that there is only one shared toilet which was very basic, better soap dispensers and more toilet paper would have been appreciated. But overall definetely a must if you have a sweet craving, even if you're not vegan.

Very good dessert. We got the waffles with Nutella and banana dulce de leche. We came at 21:00 and were the only ones here. We also got a spicy beef empanada which was great.

Ice Creams were really tasty and ambience is good enough for a ice cream shop. Quantity of the scoop was heavy. I tasted 5 types and finally chose to have blackberry. Recommend to visit if you are nearby

I loved this place so much during my time in Madrid I would go there every day for breakfast. If you are a fan of high quality, natural flavors in your ice cream, this is the place for you. If you like dulce de leche on your waffles, this is also the place for you. And if you like a savory, fresh crepe this is also the place for you. And if you find yourself there, try the alfajores, they are delicious! (Here's a photo of my dulce de leche waffles and coffee with milk.)

Excellent ice cream shop with a huge variety of cool flavours. In addition all the flavours are gluten free and cones are also gluten free which makes its a paradise for celiac kids.The staff is very nice and helpfull

Delicious celiac safe ice cream AND cones, dedicated gluten free crepes and waffles. We had the ice cream and cones one day and the crepes another day. Both were delicious. Celiac safe!

if you come here, you MUST try the dulce de leche gelato!! the serving are super generous and the prices are great for a sweet treat after a meal.

This is the best ice cream in Madrid! They have wonderful flavors - I especially recommend Dulce de Leche Granizado (Dulce de Leche with Chocolate Chips) and Maracuja (Passion Fruit), and also great friendly service.

Bite Me Café is a quiet gem in Madrid. Everything is fully vegan, from the creative donuts (called Halos) to the carefully made lattes and savory weekend bites. The space is small, cozy, and welcoming, with a relaxed vibe that makes it easy to linger. Flavors rotate often, and each donut feels like a little surprise—beautifully made and full of character. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t need to shout to stand out. Go early if you can—the best treats tend to sell out

Super good cinnamon roll. They have a ton of other desserts and drinks available for an afternoon tea. Nice staff and really good ambiance. Highly recommended.

Delicious homemade vegan donuts. I’ve tried Pistachio with passion fruit and it’s my favorite. Also tried one with strawberry which is also good. Would likely recommend and would come back to try the cinnamon rolls.

Got the Choco Hazelnut bagel. It is big and sweet. Delicious. Wanted to try other things as well. Maybe next time.

one of the best coffee shops i’ve ever visited. i was walking around in madrid and saw this little shop, decided to get my coffee there. a simple order: iced latte with almond milk. the atmosphere was so nice, playing chill jams in the background. i got out, took a sip of the coffee and immediately went back in to tell them it’s the best aromatic coffee i’ve had. the owners was so friendly and we talked for a bit, he told me about the different types of coffees they use and lend me some to try, and also gifted me a berry basil which was AMAZING! must try, thanks for all❤️

I was a person who doesn't like to eat donut but since I found this place, I became to be a donut lover. The handmade donuts here change every week. I always excited to come and try the new favors. For the drink, the coffee also very nice but my favorite one is the mandarin+rosemary brand Linda... it's super fresh and aromatic!!. About the service, the staffs are very friendly and they always excited to explain you what the donuts favors. This coffee café always full of the customers... especially on the weekend but less on the week day and you don't need to wait for a long queue, I suggest to come on the week day. ❤❤

The first thing that will stand out in this place is the staff. Extremely friendly and kind, they elevated this experience to another level. For the food, do not be put off by the fact that this place is vegan, it's delicious and is indistinguishable from a normal donut by being vegan. They offer common flavors, such as chocolate and hazelnut which has a delightful richness and strong chocolate flavor without being too sweet. They also offer more eclectic options such as a basil and lemon donut, the flavors of which explode like a wonderful spring morning in your mouth. The dough is soft and springy, melting in your mouth like a cloud. And let's not forget, the most adorable dog ever.

Great vermouth selection with lovely pickled items served with each glass. Great outdoor seating and warm service. Highly recommend!

Great atmosphere. Tried Lodeiros, Mariol and Mila. Best one is Lodeiros imo. Very local and if you can sit outside with friends its better I guess.

Great selection of Vermouths. Beer, wines and spirits are also served here, but vermouth is the reason to be here. Highly recommend!

Great local spot for vermouth and some tapas. One of our favorite vermouth place in Madrid.

Excellent bar to have a semi guided tour of different vermouths at a reasonable price. The bartenders know their product and make good recommendations. The free tapas are above average.

My favorite bar in Madrid! Excellent selection of vermouth (try from the reserve list or their house vermouth on special - last time it was mango, Thai lime, and peppercorn) and wonderful ambiance.

Great place in the sun to have a good drink and food. Many locals and very authentic. I definitely recommend:)

The place is pretty busy, but the service is great. The cashier didn’t speak English, yet we somehow managed to understand each other just fine. The pastry was really good, and I loved the serving tray — it makes carrying the order super easy!

We had a wonderful brunch at Pasteleria Mallorca. The service was nice, especially thanks for Erika’s wonderful hospitality. The croissant 🥐 was delicious and we hope we can have another chance to try their chocolate as it is sold out today. This is our last day in Spain and we wish we will visit here again later😌😌

We got seated immediately and the staff was really nice! They took our order and the food came really fast. The food was delicious and we ordered Tortilla de papa and serrano sandwich and a croqueta de jamon. As desert we had a lemon pie and a coffee! Definitely would recommend visiting Pasteleria Mallorca!

Todo es perfecto y my sabroso! Muy amable personal, servicio es bien. Muy sabroso cafe, y tartas Everything is tasty, staff is very nice, friendly, everyone is smiling. Deserts and coffee are very tasty Also you can have a lunch here because they have salads, toasts, etc

Perfect place for lunch or coffee. Love the Palmeras con chocolate and the service is amazing. Everyone is super friendly.

A wonderful place with very friendly staff. The waitress, Celina, is truly attentive and pleasant. The food is excellent, the service is fast, and the drinks are delicious, including the house tea. I highly recommend this place.

Margarita was serving me , friendly and always smiling. Such beautiful experience, everything was super delicious and fresh.

Rather mediocre ice cream. We tried several flavors: chocolate, vanilla cookies, mango, peach, and orange with mint. They all had a hard, almost frozen texture—nothing to do with the creaminess of good gelato. The flavors themselves were okay but lacked intensity. Dolcezza a few meters down the road is much better.

This ice-cream shop has been serving the neighbourhood tasty treats for a long time! Drop by anytime, best be early because it tends to have a long queue on warmer days especially on weekends! Menu: Great Price: €

Possibly the best gelato I’ve ever eaten. Packed with flavour, straciatella was full of massive chocolate pieces. Generous portions. Exquisite.

Absolutely wonderful. Quick service and good quality.

No! This is the answer to the question: "Can it get any better?!" Long story short, just to get tour gelato there already :) Amazing, friendly staff, accessible place and WC, cool atmosphere ....and next door to Madrid Rio park!

It is one of the best ice creams you can get in Madrid. Flavours are all natural and they always use season fruits. Recommended 100% I personally recommend lemon with basil, strawberry, pistachio and hazelnut.

5/5 gelato. Staff were all friendly and nice

Treze is a fine dining restaurant with a unique menu with very interesting choices, a great deal of seafood choices and for those with not such a large appetite as the portions are small. The quality of the food is excellent and the choices are varied so there should be something for everyone. Having said this, I had everything from the “off the menu” and all of the special dishes of the day. Although I thought their ingredients and preparations are of a high level quality and standard, I was not impressed. We asked for the main dish which was a part of the Tuna fish that is right behind the head and supposedly very prized but I didn’t like the texture of that part of the fish. It was slimy and gooey, so not for me or my friend with me either. Neither one of us enjoyed it. We also picked the salad of the day which was a mixture of three types of beans and also Tuna fish (I guess we were really in the mood for Tuna!) and it was fine. We also had a tomato salad that was also fine. I have to say that the service is excellent, the waiters do know their “metiere” and know how to present and sell the dishes to you, plus they made you feel tended to and taken care of. The atmosphere is nice and elegant but not over the top. It is pricey so be ready for the bill… Then again, it is a Michelin star restaurant!

This restaurant has some staff members who speak English and the restaurant takes reservations. Service quality was a little uneven with some staff members who were rather dour and were so keen to clear your cutlery it seemed like they were hurrying you. Some tables were offered a choice of bread but other tables were not, it’s not clear why. The food was good, but not exceptional. Their best dish was the prawns with creamy rice. Croquettes were creamy in the centre and crisp on the outside, Torreznos were crispy too.

Treze Restaurante delivers a well-earned Michelin rating through exceptional execution of carefully crafted dishes that showcase both technical skill and creative vision. The restaurant demonstrates why it has achieved this prestigious recognition with consistently high-quality preparations across multiple courses. The appetizers, including jamon croquettes and salad, were decent and provided a solid foundation for the meal, though they didn't particularly stand out from the exceptional courses that followed. The stewed beef cheek was succulent and so delicious, featuring the kind of slow-braised tenderness that transforms this humble cut into something extraordinary. The rich, deep flavors demonstrated the kitchen's mastery of traditional braising techniques. The steak was excellent, showcasing quality sourcing and precise cooking that meets the high standards expected from a Michelin-rated establishment. The highlight of the entire meal was the perfectly cooked roast pigeon paired with beef gyozas - an inspired combination that bridges European and Asian influences while maintaining flawless execution. The pigeon was cooked to ideal doneness while the gyozas provided an unexpected but harmonious accompaniment. For desserts, the apple tart had more apple than tart and proved to be an acquired taste - not sweet at all, appealing to those who prefer less sugary endings but potentially challenging for diners expecting traditional dessert sweetness. The coffee puff pastry was lovely, offering a more conventional but expertly executed sweet finish. I particularly appreciated that the menu allows the flexibility of ordering half portions and full portions, enabling diners to customize their experience and try more dishes without overcommitting to large servings. Additionally, the private dining room was perfect for my group of 10 persons, and the we had a lovely waiter who spoke both English and Spanish!

From the moment we asked for an English menu we were treated differently. Service was not good and food was even worse. Steak was 1kg and .5kg was fat. Ordered it medium well and see the attached photos. In no world is that medium well. So much sinew it was practically inedible. Also I’ve seen butter knives sharper than their steak knives. How this place got a bib gourmand is beyond me. Also see the photo of their “French fries”. Please do not go here.

Spanish food with a modern twist. We ordered patata bravas, some type of white fish prepared cold (off the menu, maybe sea bass?), the pichón asado with gyozas, and the green tea pannacotta for dessert. Limited menu but everything tasted superb. Price to quality ratio was reasonable, but would have expected lightly bigger portions for the main entrees (fish and meat).

What a special tasting. The TorrezNos (pork belly crackled) supremely light, meatball with sweet sauce, then squab (pigeon) delightful with a pastry cup to the side with savoury tastes, and pig trotter stew served with amontillado (supreme pairing to give the acidity). Highly recommend. Great service. Come with a mind to try new things!

I expected more! The service wasn’t super friendly. The dishes we got were okay, but they were a bit too salty or a bit too seasoned with smoked paprika or simply too raw (we weren’t even asked how we prefer the meatballs - medium, rare or well-done). Burrata was perfect!

Delicious gluten free bakery!! Everything we had was incredible

Visiting retiro park and want a great place to eat healthy and grab a great coffee? Find no further ! Great variety of relevant food gluten free Ordered an omelette and capuchino. Which was made beautifully The downstairs settings is pleasent , spacious and gives you privacy . The sweet , pastry selection is impressive . Great service really recommended, enjoy !

Great place for GF dining in Madrid! I visited Celicioso during a trip to Madrid- I was staying near the one on O’Donnell but also visited the one in Gran Via. This is a great venue for celiacs and/or someone requiring a low GF diet. I went as 1 of 3 people; I try to eat a low GF diet but have eaten gluten (so can tell the difference) and the I other 2 people eat gluten. We were all impressed with our food. When we went in we were worried about what food was available as the fridge was pretty empty (about 3pm) but we ordered from the menu. As a group we tried the pancakes, poached eggs with salmon and chicken sandwich. The only criticism was the bread was a bit dry, it would benefit from a spread that would make it moist. The pancakes were lovely- I had them with maple syrup which gave it flavour. I enjoy pancakes and have to say these fell into my top 10. I would recommend getting some fruit with it though, to add a different texture. The other two dishes were cooked well. Both stores in O’Donnell and Gran Via have large dining spaces to eat in, or if you want you can take away. In O’Donnell there is a large dining space downstairs. The service was good and the food came relatively quickly. For cakes we tried the lemon pie and the vegan black velvet cake slice. They were both well made- they pastry had a crumble and they both had good flavour. I consider pricing is reasonable- approx 14 euros each for a meal and drink. This is truly one of the nicest places I have eaten that offers a GF menu. I only wish there was one in England! I will definitely recommend visiting

Rude staff, the worst Granizada I’ve ever tasted - lumpy ice, full of lemon seeds, very sour , hardly any lemon and no sugar. When i asked to politely have it remade they just dumped it back into blender with another slice of lemon. I ended up throwing it out. Overpriced food as well for the quality. The bakery items are not worth it even if you are celiac. Go elsewhere!! This cafe needs to rethink their customer service and quality of the food and beverages they serve. Unacceptable!! Spain is full of delicious food and friendly restaurant staff. This place is not it !!

Sandwich was dry and stale, my partner took two bites and refused to eat the rest. Tofu bowl; the rice tasted and felt like it was 3 days old with no flavour. I forced myself to eat half the bowl because I was starving. The gluten free cake was decent. Only thing I would give 3 stars. All for €32. Over priced, wouldn’t recommend.

Bottom line: gluten free heaven in Madrid. Gluten line: every. Single. Thing. There's even ciders and beers! Long line: first stop in Madrid after a long flight for breakfast. Had a delicious truffle grilled cheese sandwich. There's a quick paced area upstairs but downstairs feels like a super cool Cafe. Would definitely recommend. Disclaimer: wifey and I both are Native Spanish speakers.

100% celiac safe which is great. Pastry was awesome (i got the Santiago something). A bit overpriced. The 10€ salad I got was all cheap chewy pieces of meat, sadly. But it was nice to have a food option near all the touristy stuff. If you can save your hunger for another celiac safe spot , I recommend doing that.

Pretty, traditional Japanese Coffee shop. The cheesecake was amazing! But the rest of the food was simply not that good, definitely too expensive for what it’s worth. And they took such a looong time, I won’t be back.

The brunch is 20€ which isn't bad, but the quality of the food could be better. The staff need to be friendlier and more available. Pancakes are beautiful and fun, but they're not a huge deal. And the taste could be improved, they're a bit bland. Also, it takes around 30-40 minutes to make the pancakes, but don't know why... Other items on the menu aren't good. We ordered brioche with scrambled eggs, tomato and avocado. There were three tiny slices of avocado, normal cheap bread instead of brioche and instead of scrambled eggs it was an omelette, which they claim is how they serve their scrambled eggs. Included in the brunch is a bowl of fruit, not a big deal, tasted good, but it's not seasonal fruit and it seems like something you could buy in Mercadona or any other random place. It could be better. The restaurant has a great location and interior design, but they must improve the quality of their food and not rely only on one beautiful dish as is the case of the fluffy pancakes. However, if they continue to have an arrogant attitude and don't improve the quality of their other dishes on the menu, I cannot see how this place will thrive.

The fluffy cheesecake and pancakes are the best. Although, the overall menu is very good and tasty. Be aware that the service is quite slow but totally worth waiting. So, if you are not rushing anywhere, just wait and enjoy your time.

If you’re craving for soufflé pancakes, you should def try this place!! We got the matcha and strawberry pancakes, super good!! The cotton cheesecake was amazing too🫶🏼

A very innovative dessert shop in center of Madrid. Japanese style decoration where you can sit under the floor. We tried the pancakes, it was 9.9 out of 10.

Some sort of specialties but the service is slow AF. The place smell weird. And the minimum time to get serve is around 45-50 for a freaking fluffy pancake. Oh and be really specific with what you order. They barely hear you. For a espresso and a side of ice… 20 minutes. When you enter they tell you it’s gonna be five minutes of waiting my a….ss … I’m not coming back. PS: I cry seeing this fluffy pancake. What a joke

Brunch here was amazing and the quality and taste of the food is similar to that in Japan. Service was fantastic, we received great food recommendations and the food came fairly quickly.
