Tuvimos el placer de cenar en este restaurante ayer y la experiencia fue sencillamente magnífica. El atún rey estaba buenísima, abriendo el apetito de la mejor manera. Pero el verdadero protagonista de la noche fue la entraña. Estaba cocinado a la perfección, con un sabor y una textura realmente impresionantes. El servicio fue atento y el ambiente muy agradable. ¡Lo recomiendo al 100%! Si buscan una excelente experiencia culinaria, no duden en visitar este lugar.

La comida exquisita y la atención y servicio inmejorables. Tardaron poquísimo en atendernos lo que es algo que marca la diferencia y más con entrada para el museo. Pedimos croquetas y tequeños para compartir, ambos caseros y de un sabor exquisito. El salmón fresco y riquísimo y el pollo al curry la salsa riquísima y todo en su punto. De postre pedimos un fondant de chocolate y buenísimo, suave y en su punto! Super recomendable

Fui a comer con amigas. Me parece un sitio muy agradable, esta en un sitio precioso para pasear despues de comer. La cocina me gusto mucho, probamos los tequeños, muy ricos. Muy buen servicio, ambiante y muy buena relacion calidad precio. Muy recomendable

This was my favorite restaurant to eat at in all of Spain. The food was so good that it made me want to keep going back and try other things on the menu. Also, Michelle Obama apparently ate here in 2016? They have receipts! My fave restaurant in all of Spain.

We went to Murillo Cafe twice in a week. It was the perfect end to our afternoon which started with a walk through Retiro Park followed by an hour (free admission) at the Prado Museum. Murillo is conveniently located across from the Prado. It has the feel of a cozy neighborhood restaurant and offers an extensive menu. We loved the crispy eggplant with hummus, the burrata, and the steak with chimichurri sauce. Service was fast and attentive. We will definitely come back again.

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch in Madrid at Murillo Cafe. We sat out outside on a beautiful afternoon. Our waiter Sebastian was excellent. The food came out promptly and was just perfect!! I recommend the grilled salmon.

Ana was wonderfu! very friendly and attentive. Service was quick, the croquetas were perfectly crispy, the ceviche de corvina was outstanding, and the carpaccio de res was incredibly fresh. We’d definitely come back!

Stopped by on the way to Museo del Prado. Menu had a limited selection of tasteful dishes. Ambience was welcoming, like and old tavern.

Delicious food, a calm and relaxing atmosphere, and Ana's excellent service made my and my husband's afternoon in Madrid even better.

Great location just next to the botanical gardens. Food came quickly and in very generous portions, we only managed to have tapas and starters because of that. The food was delicious! Felt like gourmet tapas. 🤤

Really nice restaurant right next to the museum. Loved the crispy eggplant with hummus, tender grilled chicken, and the carrot cake was pretty good too. Service was friendly and spot on!

Restaurant with friendly staff, great service et tasty food. We ordered many different dishes and we loved all of them. Service is fast and the atmosphere is really nice. Waiters were very kind and we really enjoyed our lunch there. Big applause for the roasted chicken and the gazpacho soup. A real delight !

This was my first restaurant once i arrived to Spain and it has been the best so far. We were a big party, and pretty much ordered everything off the menu, they were all delicious and impressive. Of course the service was amazing as well. I recommend the eggplant with hummus, the tuna tartar, the skirt steak, the quinoa/lentil salad and the empanadas. I will definitely try to come back before the end of my trip.

My relatives and I had a wonderful experience here! I'm so glad we were able to get a spot! One of the highlights of our trip. The food was amazing! My 80yo grandmother from overseas really enjoyed it too. Our server, Javier, and the manager Juan, were so friendly and helpful to us. Would 100% go back and bring others! (Wish I took more food photos!)

What great food we had here! We searched for a highly rated restaurant to eat at after a visit to the Prado Museum, and were so happy to discover this place. Everything was good to great, and the buratta dish was the best I’ve ever had. We will definitely prioritize visiting here again when we can get back to Madrid.

Juan and Anthony were so helpful. We speak limited Spanish, but they were super welcoming and helped us pronounce menu items. They were attentive and very professional. The food was wonderful as well as the drinks. A must if in Barcelona especially if you are visiting Museum de Prado. Will be back next time in Madrid.

Venimos a cenar aquí para el día de San Valentín. Nos llamó la atención la cantidad de platos venezolanos en el menú, sobretodo a mi pareja que ya había estado cenando aqui hace un par de años y notó ciertos cambios en la experiencia. Pedimos chips de plátano, ceviche y pollo asado. Todo estuvo bien, pero no particularmente espectacular. La atención fue correcta. El lugar es agradable, probablemente porque no estaba petado cuando fuimos. Los precios nos parecieron un poco altos para lo recibido, pero bueno, se paga la fama, ubicación e inflación.

Murillo Café feels like one of those places you don’t expect to find outside Venezuela. I tried several things and everything was on point, but the polvorosa de pollo really stood out. It instantly took me back to Venezuela, where I had it many times growing up, pure comfort food, the kind that brings memories with every bite. The tequeños were light and crispy, not oily, and clearly made with care. The numpias were another favorite, crunchy, flavorful, and even better dipped in soy sauce, which adds a subtle Asian twist without taking away from what makes them special. The sliders were kind of normal, nothing special. What truly completes the experience is the attention. It’s warm, natural, and welcoming, making you feel at home without trying too hard. Murillo Café delivers authenticity, nostalgia, and genuinely good food.

I discovered Murillo after reading about it in Monocle and decided to stop by for lunch. I ordered the Caesar salad, bread and butter, and finished with an espresso that came with a very tasty biscuit. The Caesar salad was tasty, and although the sliced chicken breast fillet looked quite thin, the overall portion was surprisingly filling. Everything felt well balanced and thoughtfully prepared. The staff were attentive and genuinely friendly, and the overall atmosphere was pleasant—an ideal place to pause after visiting the Prado. According to both Monocle and the staff I spoke with, the restaurant is owned by a Venezuelan and the menu blends Venezuelan, Spanish, and international influences, which adds an extra layer of interest. One small drawback is the layout: some tables are placed extremely close to each other, making it a bit difficult to pass through. There’s also no door separating the kitchen from the dining area, and at times the kitchen noise can be quite loud and slightly disruptive. Also, adding coatracks would add in the experience. Overall, I left very satisfied and will definitely be back to experience dinner as well.

Food Quality: in general was quite nice. The starter with fried Yuca is a must. Very good. The salad was fresh and crispy. The burger was a biiig let down. Not only clearly undercooked, but also nothing special at all. Portions: nice decent portions. Drinks: good options. Available some cocktails and refreshing summer drinks. Price: $$$ quite expensive for what we ate. Did not feel it was worth this price. Service: friendly service, but difficult to get their attention most of the time. Atmosphere: tables outside are really nice and very relaxing. Highlights: Yuca. Very nice. Things to improve: burger definitely needs improving, as well as cooking a bit more. Payment Method: CC, cash

Llevo yendo años a Murillo y siempre repito . Mis sorpresa es q reservé mesa en el bar y acabamos dentro. La reserva era para las 21 y a las 22.50 para nuestra sorpresa nos trajeron la cuenta sin haberla pedido como al resto de las mesas y cuando tvia ni nos habían traído dos bebidas q estaban pedidas y en la cuenta. La única respuesta fue que los camareros se iban a las 11. Estando en Madrid me parece inaudito q a las 11 te echen es para revisarlo

In the beginning, I wasn’t welcomed with a smile, which already set a slightly cold tone. The food was delicious, but the portions were really small. The secreto ibérico didn’t seem to be prepared with much care..you could tell by the way the meat was served. After having the croquettes and the meat, I was still hungry, but since I wasn’t feeling very comfortable, I decided to leave. Unfortunately, there was also a spider in my glass, which didn’t help the atmosphere. The service staff spoke very limited English, and I didn’t feel entirely at ease. Dining alone was already out of my comfort zone, and the experience didn’t make it any easier.

Mi mala experiencia. Fue un buen comienzo. Vinimos a cenar con mis hijas. Para empezar tomamos unos aperitivos y estaban deliciosos. Como plato principal decidimos comer una hamburguesa. Las niñas pidieron hamburguesas vegetarianas y estaban buenas. Y yo quería una hamburguesa de carne clásica y bien hecha. La presentación fue decente, pero la calidad de la preparación fue pésima. La hamburguesa resultó estar demasiado cocida ( quemada) y era tan dura que era imposible incluso cortarla con un cuchillo. Para mi pesar, ante el comentario que le hice al camarero, ella respondió que usted mismo pidió bien hecha. Lo siento, no pedí galletas saladas, que son imposibles de comer. Nos trajeron la cuenta por todo lo que pedimos y no nos pidieron disculpas....

Muy rico todo, pero la verdad que quedamos muy defraudados… después de una cuenta de casi 600 euros no se dignaron a invitarnos a los chupitos. Muy rico todo, pero no volveremos!!

Habíamos pedido una mesa para dos. Poco después llegó una amiga nuestra y simplemente preguntamos si era posible añadir una silla. A pesar de que la mesa de al lado se ofreció amablemente a darnos su silla, el propietario se negó sin ninguna explicación razonable. Incluso unos chicos en la mesa de enfrente, al ver la situación, se ofrecieron a dejarnos su mesa más grande, ya que solo eran dos. En ese momento el propietario empezó a gritarnos de manera agresiva y grosera, sin intentar en absoluto buscar una solución. Echó a nuestra amiga, que estaba con nosotras y tenía que comer, y – a pesar de que era un martes por la tarde y el local no estaba lleno – nos dijo que debíamos salir inmediatamente y que no nos serviría nada más. Nos llamó maleducadas gritándonos en la cara. Un comportamiento vergonzoso, arrogante y totalmente inaceptable. Nunca habíamos recibido un trato tan irrespetuoso y humillante.

Conocemos Murillo desde hace un mes. Lo poco que llevamos en madrid. El personal es muy agradable, los camareros suelen tratarte bien pero parece que han contratado a una chica nueva que deja bastante que desear en higiene y modales. Por los visto no soy la única que se ha dado cuenta porque vi las caras que hicieron otros clientes. Escuchamos que la llamaban Paola. Parecía una chica agradable siempre son una sonrisa. Se tocaba mucho el pelo y los que se le caían los tiraba al suelo, una de las veces estaba cerca de la vajilla; frente a todos estornudó sobre su manos y con esas manos sucias tocó los platos limpios para ponérselos a unos clientes nuevos; aunque no era nuestra camarera en una ocasión se acercó a nuestra mesa para recoger los platos vacíos y un par de nosotros tuvimos que apartar la cara por el olor que desprendía las axilas. Al parecer algo similar vio mi nieta la semana pasada ahora dice que no vuelve a Murillo. A mis 70 años no me guardo nada, mi familia no me dejó hablar con el encargado, les daba vergüenza la situación.

Ayer fuimos a cenar y la experiencia fue agridulce. La comida es muy buena y el servicio amable. Lo muy malo fue que, para nuestra sorpresa, sin haber terminado el postre, nos trajeron la cuenta a las 22:50. En la pagina web dice que cierran a las 12. Muy mal. Fatal.
