Atendido por sus dueños de una forma muy agradable. Tomamos las Flores de Calabacin, el Saté de Pollo y el Costillar con Polenta; muy sabroso todo y único. La textura de la polenta era exquisita y la salsa del Saté es algo que nunca probe en mi vida. Lugar ideal para compartir e invitar gente, no defraudaras a quien invites. Me quedan ganas de volver a probar los demas platos de la carta.

Excelente calidad de los platos. Cada uno de ellos con sabores únicos y combinaciones perfectas. El trato de los chicos que trabajaban allí ha sido estupendo y personalizado, buscando siempre la comodidad y el gusto personal de cada cliente. Más que recomendado! Volveremos 🙌🏻

Un lugar increíble en pleno Chueca. Comida excelente, muy variada pero sobre todo la atención de Alejo y su equipo. Parecía una reunión familiar más que una comida en un restaurante. Altamente recomendado si andan por Madrid

Me encantó el restaurante, muy acogedor y un trato cálido por parte de Alejo, gracias por el detalle de mi cumple 🙏🏻🥂🎂 Nos gustó tanto que mañana Navidad, repetimos 🎄🩵🥂👏🏻👏🏻 ¡¡ FELIZ NAVIDAD ALEJO 🎄👏🏻🥳🥂🥰 !! De nuevo un acierto 🎄🥂🥳 todo muy rico 👏🏻👏🏻 y gracias por tu atención 🙏🏻

Los platos son increibles y con muy buena atemción, super variados y todos únicos; recomiendo mucho el Saté de Pollo como entrante. Tambien recomiendo probar los vinos, especialmente el Malbec. Volveremos !

Parada obligada si pasan por Madrid. La comida es excelente, el personal súper amable. Probamos las flores de calabacín, los arancini, el saté de pollo y la mousse de mango. Todo estaba exquisito y muy recomendable, sin duda volveremos a probar el resto del menú.

Muy buena experiencia. El Tapenade estuvo buenisimo 🩷 Probé el ají de gallina, tomando en cuenta que soy peruana y es mi comida favorita puedo decir que es uno de los mejores que he probado en Madrid; muy rico y la cantidad suficiente.

Reservé para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi pareja después de ver las buenas valoraciones y no decepcionó. Nos encantó que te pongan agua de grifo directamente al llegar, como se hace en otros países y que fueran honestos recomendando que pudiésemos solo un entrante en lugar de dos. Las raciones fueron copiosas y la cocina sabrosa. Pedimos los rollitos de primavera, una hamburguesa de cordero y un ají de gallina. Todo estaba buenísimo, eso sí, id con hambre, que llena. Cuando se enteraron de que celebrábamos un cumpleaños, nos trajeron un trocito de tarta de zanahoria con una velita por cuenta de la casa, y estaba buenísima. Sin duda, calidad-precio es un sitio estupendo, con cocina fusión en la que hay algo para todos los gustos. Volveremos seguro.

Este restaurante es un nivel Pro Max 🤤😍 su nombre habla por sí solo. Hay un conjunto entre la atención el ambiente y la comida que hace que todo sea perfecto. Es todo muy cuidado y el amor se transmite en cada plato. Un lugar para volver y recomendar 🫶

Madrid has some amazing restaurants with delicious food. This restaurant is a diamond in the rough. The sustainable sourced ingredients are all locally sourced amazing ingredients. The layout gives you the feeling of privacy in an open restaurant. This is a must visit and you too will become a dedicated follower. I would even go so far as to suggesting that you travel to Madrid just to experience the food here. Amazing.

Best food I’ve ever had at a restaurant !! The servers were so charismatic and funny, I highly recommend. I tasted the dishes my mom and fiancé ordered as well and every meal was divine. Plus, I’ll be dreaming of that carrot cake for the next week ✨❤️

These folks know food. The strip steak was incredibly juicy with just enough fat, which was balanced perfectly by the chimichurri and fried peppers. The chocolate cake was incredibly rich and appeared dense but each bite had a soft crumb that was delightful on the tongue. The creaminess of the merengue paired with the rich chocolate was delectable. Not only that, but our waiter was charismatic and hilarious- one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had.

El Social is one of those rare places that immediately makes you feel like you’ve walked into someone’s home rather than a restaurant They kept checking in on us with the kindest energy, and before we knew it we were being treated to free desserts and beers, completely unprompted. The food was also so delicious. We had the croquettes the steak and the pasta. Could not recommend this place enough!

Eileen Funke

El Social made us feel like we were at home. The reception was warm and sincere, and the food was delicious. We had a leisurely lunch where we loved the cauliflower puree with the white fish, the croquetas, and the courgette (zuchinni) flowers. Also, the owner makes the desserts by hand herself-so good! I don’t know how we fit it after enjoying so much food, but the pudding with mango was incredible and I don’t even like mango, as was the chocolate tart with toasted meringue-like some kind of magic marshmallow. Such a hidden gem.

Cypress Cooper

Amazing! Best service and food ever! If you want incredible Portuguese or Sicilian croquettes, they have it!

Suni Strickland

Everything was delicious! The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The Rioja wine was some of the best we've had. We had the arancini with cheese, the zucchini flowers with goat cheese, the mussels, and the pesto pasta. All were outstanding. And the chocolate tartleta with meringue was incredible. Love the eco-friendly aspect and free water.

Ana Paula

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, and everything we tried was wonderful. The service was very kind and attentive, especially from the hermanos who took care of us. The wine selection was excellent, and the whole atmosphere was warm and pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I have to recommend it with 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I rarely write reviews because I'm lazy, unless I'm very satisfied or I've had a very bad experience. El Social is definitely the former, and I must say everything is perfect here... friendly and nice people; special, delicious and beautiful food (you don't have to worry about not eating enough, it doesn't sacrifice quantity for presentation). I think I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends, and I will eat here again if I come back to Madrid. (By the way, I love your music playlists! If only I knew their names 😭)

Catalin Fotache

Superb surprise, possibly the best meal we had in Spain. The owner Ferdinand and staff are very friendly, suggestions were great, delivery fast and food exceptional. We licked the plates clean. I don’t know the names of dishes we ordered but I will post pictures.

Everything we ate was delicious! Very well cooked. Service: eager to please. Small but nice and relaxing environment. We stayed for one night in Madrid and went there to eat upon others’ reviews. Would recommend!

Christopher Forde

Had dinner here tonight and I have to say, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Opens for dinner at 8pm, so doesn’t really start filling up till 9pm. Water with ice brought to the table as soon as we sat down which was appreciated considering the 38 degrees outside. Bread and tapenade also brought to the table. We ordered the steak and fish for mains and shared the 2 plates. Really cool interior also and the staff are all lovely and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Madrid.

This restaurant is simply amazing! We ordered 6 different dishes and each one of them was delicious. Their cuisine is a fusion type and therefore it combines all sort of ingredients and techniques. Don’t miss the breaded shrimps or the spring rolls. The waitress was super friendly and professional. It’s definitely a place I will go back to when I visit Madrid. By the way, if you book a table through the app “the fork” you might even get a discount. I suggest you book in advance since it gets fully booked quickly mostly on the weekends.

Overall, the restaurant was good value for money and the service was great; however, the taste of some dishes could be improved. We ordered four dishes, and my favorites were the Flor de Calabacín and the Mejillones! The Flor de Calabacín was a surprising dish, filled with goat cheese on the inside, and fried and eaten like Japanese tempura. As for the Mejillones, the only drawback was that they weren’t the freshest; however, the flavorful green curry soup they were cooked in made up for it (a great Thai-French combo). The Saté de Pollo and Aguachile de Zambur were a bit disappointing. The peanut sauce was very rich in flavor; however, I personally thought the chicken was a bit overcooked. The Aguachile was too spicy and sour for my taste, although I can’t say much about this dish because I’m not a big fan of Peruvian ceviche.

A neat little place serving decent Spanish dishes as well as fusion food. Shame some of the more exotic dishes were all gone by the time we had dinner. But skirt steak & spare ribs did not disappoint. Cod & potatoes cakes were delicious though on the small side. Moroccan spring rolls was fusion which I found quite delightful. Service was good. Manager (boss?) went out of his way to apologise to customers when the kitchen had some small problem & food could not be served promptly. Customers were compensated with wine or small plates. I’m sure such generosity would not go unnoticed.

We had delicious dishes, price/quality is fantastic and staff is very friendly. You’ll have to try it! And rest assured, the portions are quite large. 👌👌 Ps: Only our table might have been better, we were sitting at a white wall on the same side of the table to make place for the service.. might be improved by putting paints or something else in front of us to add some perspective. :-)

El lugar es muy bonito y muy acojedor y los camareros son simpaticos. Aun así nuestra experiencia no ha sido la mejor. Teniamos reserva del tenedor con descuento, no se si ha sido esta la razon de que nos pusieran una mesa de 2 personas para 5, ya solo con los vasos de agua y de vino no cabia ningun plato mas. Hemos estado muy muy apretados. Por otra parte la comida ha tenido puntos buenos y puntos no tan buenos. El aperitivo ha sido una especie de tapenade de aceitunas que estaba buenisimo. De primero hemos pedido croquetas de bacalao que aunque estaban buenas siento que la ración era escasa y unos mejillones cuya salsa era demasiado exótica aunque estaban buenos. Los platos principales: costillas que estaban deliciosas, taco de panceta al horno que estaba bueno pero sin mas. Ensalada cesar, nada del otro mundo y burger de cordero que era una interpretación que parecia cualquier cosa menos una burger y cuya carne estaba acida. Hemos tenido sentimientos encontrados con este sitio. El precio de la comida con el descuento del tenedor lo veo justo, sin el lo veo algo elevado, y por el vino nos han cobrado 24 euros por cada botella de un vino que cuesta 10. Le doy un aprobado pero ha habido detalles que se podrían mejorar.

Restaurant Review: El Social, Madrid Oh boy, where do I even start? We booked El Social based on its glowing Google reviews, expecting a hidden gem in Madrid. What we got instead? A glorified disaster wrapped in disappointment. First things first – the place looks like it hasn’t seen a mop since the early 2000s. Worn-out, dirty, and about as inviting as a gas station restroom. But hey, at least the staff was friendly! Too bad they couldn’t serve up a meal that matched their good vibes. The food? Tragic. Bland, poorly cooked, and about as exciting as a wet paper bag. And the drinks? Let’s just say, if sadness had a flavor, it would taste like whatever they served us. Final verdict: Do yourself a favor and eat literally anywhere else. Madrid is full of amazing food – this ain’t it.
