Restaurante de los de toda la vida, siempre lleno y no es de extrañar. Especializado en marisco pero cualquiera de los platos que pidas va a estar bueno. Comida española con producto de calidad. La carta es muy amplia por lo que fácilmente te quedas con ganas de probar más cosas. A destacar los boletus, los chipirones y las coquinas. El sitio aunque sea enorme está a tope por lo que es mejor reservar.

Cenamos siete personas, pedimos todo para compartir. Dos raciones de cada: almejas a la manzanilla, croquetas de carabineros, tortilla de bacalao y arroz meloso con pulpo y calamar. Todo estaba realmente bueno. De postre pedimos, tarta fina de manzana, brownie, arroz con leche y sorbete de limón. Otra vez todos un acierto, mención especial al sorbete, extraordinario. El servicio fue atento y profesional. Los precios me parecen acordes a la calidad y al lugar. Lo único que me pareció excesivo fueron los casi 17€ que nos cobraron por una cesta con siete trozos de pan.

Otro buen lugar del barrio de Salamanca, la comida es muy y buena y el trato es amable, de preferencia has reserva pues siempre está full!!! Pero vale mucho la pena y los precios están a doc con las cantidades y la calidad. En temporada de Coquinas no te las puedes perder y si quieres probar uno de los mejores rebozados te recomiendo las gambas!!! 😋 Las mollejas con boletus…te chupas los dedos!!! Todo riquísimo y el ambiente es de lo más ameno y familiar!

Comida muy rica y buen producto. Servido todo muy bien. Quizá un poco de ruido pero normal con la cantidad de gente, soportable.

Siempre he comido muy bien y con buen producto. La única pega es el ruido. Cada vez somos más los que queremos comer bien. El servicio depende de quien te toque.

Este sitio se merece toda la puntuación. Comida deliciosa, ambiente ideal, atención inmejorable. Hemos ido varias veces y ninguna nos ha defraudado. La recomendación es ir hasta probar toda la carta, cada plato sorprende y merece la pena.

Excelente. Uno de los mejores restaurantes que he visitado últimamente en relación calidad- precio. Servicio excelente y materia prima inmejorable. Vale la pena probar los langostinos con garbanzos y la merluza a la bilbaína. Precio por persona 36€

Una apuesta segura para comer o cenar bien en Madrid. Platos fantásticos, con algunas opciones que rozan la perfección - como el arroz meloso con pulpo y calamar -. Destacan especialmente los sabores, el punto de cocción y el mimo con el que cuidan cada elaboración. Los camareros fueron muy atentos, sirviendo primero a una comensal que estaba embarazada y no podía tomar huevo. En resumen, una experiencia excelente a un precio más que razonable

Definitivamente uno de los lugares donde mejor se come en Madrid! 1- la comida es excelente 2- el lugar está en una zona muy agradable y céntrica, el servicio magnífico! Las piparras son una locura, las coquinas son de otro mundo. Definitivamente las tienen que ordenar! Nos ha atendido Ramiro, es un monada!

El sitio merece las valoraciones que tiene. La comida está muy muy buena. La variedad de la carta es enorme, no dejaban de pasar platos con buenísima pinta. Lo que más nos gustó, la ensaladilla y el boletus con huevo y jamón (espectacular). No repetiría el revuelto de morcilla y habas (pero para gustos los colores). Había muchas más cosas con una pinta increíble. Además, no me pareció caro, 19 euros por persona cenando muy bien. Además, el personal es encantador, son super amables, atentos pero sin ser pesados, el equilibrio perfecto. Nos invitaron a un chupito de la casa y van trayendo tapas con la bebida. Sin duda, cuando volvamos por la zona, repetiremos.

A mi familia y a mi nos encantó! Para compartir pedimos berberechos, croquetas y langostinos en tempura. Y luego cada uno se pidio su plato, a destacar el Gallopedro qie se pidio mi tia, que le gustó muchisimo. Mi arroz meloso con pulpo muy rico también! Repetiremos.

Sencillamente espectacular. Mucho mas grande por dentro de lo que cabe esperar cuando lo ves desde la calle. El solomillo es un imprescindible. Relación calidad-precio inmejorable. Muy agradecidos con la experiencia, repetiremos sin duda.

Uno de mis sitios favoritos! 👍carta completa: entrantes de ibéricos o de mariscos y platos principales de verduras, carnes o pescados. 👍 el servicio es muy bueno, te atienden rápido y el personal es amable 👍 tiene una parte para tomar algo (también se puede comer) y luego tiene los dos salones de restaurante. 👍 el precio es ligeramente caro pero es absolutamente proporcional a la calidad y cuidado de cada plato. 🫶el arroz está espectacular. En pocos sitios hacen el arroz tan bueno . Voy mucho.

No falla este restaurante . Ambiente super agradable en barra y en restaurante , tradicional , bien montado , buena cristalería , mantelería , y servicio atento y profesional . La comida super bien , no fallan la croquetas , el milhojas de atún , buenos platos de cuchara , verdinas muy bien cocinadas , raciones super generosas , pixin cocinado riquísimo , bacalao espectacular con su tomate natural . Buenos postres y precios muy razonables de segundos platos . Vinos de la casa buena relación calidad -precio. El problema encontrar reserva ….

Restaurante clásico Madrileño de toda la vida a pocos pasos del retiro. Los camareros SUPER PROFESIONALES, brindan un servicio atento y discreto. La comida está deliciosa, a destacar la ensalada de cecina, el milhojas de ventisca y la ensaladilla rusa. Un olé al arroz con leche (media porción es mas que suficiente para una persona!) 100% recomendable

This restaurant may be the greatest seafood you will eat it is genuinely that good and for the price really cannot beat the value. However the service (specially if you are foreigner/tourist) leaves much to be desired. They are incredibly short with you, will rush you, and be perplexed if you even ask a question about the menu. Having said that the food is so good that it still deserves 5 stars.

Huan

Authentic traditional Spanish cuisine in Madrid, the tuna salade and paella are so tasty, octopus is grilled so tender and full of flavor. Good ambiance with nice local neighbors.

Steph

The mariscos is always delicious and perfectly cooked. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It is always super crowded so I wouldn't go without reservations. Because it is crowded, the atmosphere isn't great for an intimate occasion but if you want amazing food at a reasonable price, this is it.

Julio Arbelaez

We were a party of 5 share many appetizers like bogavante croquetas, Gambas al ajillo, tuna pudín, all of them pretty tasty and excellent ! Fast to deliver the foods!

Ali Argin

Delicious food. A little bit on the classical side in terms of menu and atmosphere. We had razor clams, asparagus, turbot and steak. The service is a little rushed, tell them to slow down or don’t order everything at once. Special thanks to Brince and Jhun for solving our problem with the reservation.

Stopped here for a few tapas for lunch and loved it so much we went back for dinner! The best part are the waiters; friendly, lively, accommodating and you can see thru are genuinely enjoying their work. The atmosphere is great, mostly locals and all Spanish speaking. We had the chickpeas and prawn and there sepia, both were fantastic. In the evening we had razor clams, the tuna timbale both delicious. The turbot had too many bones and the lamb chops were a bit fatty but other than that everything was great! I recommend coming for tapas vs main dishes.

Jean

Great food, ambience, and hospitality. Brince is the best thank you! He deserves a raise😁

Mehr Gugass

Great selection of appetizers, starters and main meals. We got cured tuna and assorted cheese as starters and shared the main meals too. You can’t go wrong with anything here. Reservations are highly recommended, because it was Monday 1:30 pm and this place was packed with locals. The staff were amazing, and start speaking English the minute they noticed we don’t speak Spanish. Not to forget, the portions were good and the prices were decent.

Pixie Tomacruz

ate here with my family and it was an amazing experience! Noah, our server, was so attentive and gave us such apt recommendations. we loved the pulpo with rice the most! very lively vibe. note: it’s mostly bar seats so be prepared for that!

Exploring new places

Came here around 3pm and this place was packed - But not with tourists, with locals! Had to wait a bit for a table and ended up sitting outside which is fine. Some servers speak English and some absolutely zero English but they are all very friendly. Food was amazing, had razor clams and the creamy octopus rice

Juan Camilo De Angulo

Amazing food. The coquinas were so so good. We also really enjoyed the octopus rice. We went back 3 times. Staff was sometimes nice but sometimes a little bit cold towards us/other tourists.

Gilnela Jalonen

Best Restaurant we've been to in Madrid. We went here at Lunch, it was quite full. We thought that the space was too tiny for a lot of people. But lo and behold, there's more space in the back! I highly recommend going here during your trip. This was an unforgettable place!

This was a very lively tapas bar with delicious food and wonderful service. We managed to grab the last remaining table inside as we'd originally booked a table outside but was raining and couldn't sit outside. Shout-out to the two waiters who were working on the evening of 12/3 as they were so kind and patient with us, and took the time to explain the menu, check in on us and have a friendly chat. They took my husband's allergy very seriously and made sure that dishes we ordered didn't contain anything that he might be allergic to, which we really appreciated about. The food was excellent, particularly the rice with octopus. They do serve a generous portion so come hungry! Overall lovely experience.

Tweed Tango

Perfect tapas place. The quality of food is superb, but even better was the service of their staff: accomodating and helpful. Make a reservation as it gets packed. We had vermouth, some tapas, it was delicious. The tables are all high tables which means tall stools as seats. Personally I find them very uncomfortable, but that is just a personal note. Would definitely go back, the quality of the food is superb.

Great Spanish food. Their octopus rice is a must, it’s so creamy and so good. The ventresca milhojas is not what it sounds like, it’s a twist on the classic tomato ventresca and it’s amazing. Im general they have great quality seafood, good attentive service, highly recommend.

Jinghang Ng

It’s so good I stopped by TWICE. The vibes were immaculate and got boosted to 11 on weekend nights, with the quintessential Spanish bar crowd. Food was some of the best I’ve had in Madrid, from fresh, well seasoned seafood to rich, rich steak. The drinks were great too! They were pretty tourist friendly as they had an English menu, and the service staff were fantastic. Definitely a place I’ll stop by every time I’m in Madrid.

Spectacular. Creamy rice with octopus, sardine bread, tuna and pepper salad. My goodness were these good. Had ~10 meals in Madrid and this is the only one on the list so far we’ll revisit next time we’re here!! A few items I wanted to try were sold out by the time we came to eat at 330pm, so come earlier if you can!

Jay KR

What a hidden gem. I coincidentally found La Castela as my client is located right next to it. It was a great surprise to have a business lunch there. Even Monday lunch was super packed with customers. Staff are very friendly and offer prompt services. Most of them could speak good English. Dishes were all incredibly fresh and yummy. I will definitely come back upon my next visit

This was one of my favorite meals in my 2 weeks in Spain, amongst many excellent meals . Made a reservation weeks in advance and had a great seat at the bar( my preferred seat when I'm dining solo)…

Well worth a trip, all we tried was very well prepared. Service was fast and informative of all the plates we ordered. Must make a reservation.

Lovely food and welcoming waiters. The tuna and red pepper was excellent. We went on a Tuesday afternoon and the restaurant was full with a really nice atmosphere.

Everything was perfect: food, wine, service, bar. Really fantastic. Also the bill, compared to the very high quality of the offer. Definitely the best of my 3 days staying in Madrid.

Buen restaurante, comida especial, ambiente animado, servicio atento y agradable. Volvería sin duda!

Llegamos al local, estaba petado el camarero nos preguntò si teníamos reserva: le dijimos que no y aunque estuvieran hasta arriba nos ofreciò un rinconcito 🙏 Queríamos tomarnos unos vermuts, y asì lo hicimos muy ricos y de buena calidad. Nos dieron de aperitivo una tostita con ensaladilla la verdad ideal para acompañar el vermut. Siguiendo con las tapas nos pedimos una tosta para compartir de anchoas con pimientos - DELICIOSO! La pròxima vez reservaremos para tener la experiencia completa con la parte de restaurante. Que debe ser de 10!

Restaurante con estética acogedora y bonita. La comida bastante buena de sabor aunque algunas raciones bastante escasas. La carta es llamativa y hay platos tradicionales de calidad. El marisco y productos de concha estaban espectaculares. La atención correcta.

Deborah Laks

A Madrid Classic. Indoor and outdoor seating Traditional Spanish cuisine without any surprises. Simple and tasty. They don’t beat around the bush and don’t expect them to charm you much less serve you the wine in your glass from the bottle you ordered (you’ll have to do it yourself). Nonetheless, service is direct and professional. We shared everything between 4 people. The dishes were perfectly timed. The chipirones a la plancha were one of the best I’ve had, so was the cheese cake. Reasonable prices.

A beloved classic in Madrid, this restaurant is known for its excellent food and vibrant atmosphere. It's always bustling with patrons, making it a popular choice for both locals and visitors alike…

Todo buenísimo pero el camarero está encima de ti, te quita el cubierto según lo dejas en la mesa para que te vayas rápido y dejes la mesa libre. Muy agobiante. Entiendo que se doblen los turnos pero sin que eso sea perjuicio del disfrute.

We were excited to visit this restaurant due to the good reviews. However, we found the food to be nothing more than average. Service was OK. Nothing special here.

Lamentablemente tengo que venir a actualizar la reseña de uno de mis sitios favoritos en Madrid, ya que el sábado 15 de noviembre de 2025 fui a comer por segunda vez con mi pareja y con mi madre, lo que resultó en diarreas, vómitos y distensión abdominal para los tres comensales al día siguiente (Estando claro que se debió a la comida en La Castela, puesto que fue la unica vez en toda la semana que cualquiera de los tres comensales comía con alguno de los otros afectados). Es una pena tener que poner una reseña así a un buen restaurante, donde el ambiente es bueno, los camareros son muy atentos y el precio es totalmente razonable, sin embargo, sospecho que hay una mala utilización del marisco o del pescado, lo que resultó en los dolores previamente mencionados. No pongo 1 estrella porque quiero confiar que se trató de un error puntual, sin embargo el sufrimiento generado es merecedor de esta.
