Si lo que buscas es una buena paella o fideua estás en el lugar indicado …….

Santas Paellas las de Jaime el Bravo 🙌 que buenas son…!!!! Agradable lugar con muy buenos platillos, bien ubicado. Y donde también puedes esperar el típico trato de meseros a sueldo ejecutado a la perfección…!!!

La paella rica, es su especialidad todos los tipos de paella y es reconocido por esto.

Miguel lo Máximo excelente comida ambiente todo!!! Trataron bien a mi sobrinito Sebastián

St. James Juan Bravo es un lugar excelente para disfrutar de buena comida. El local es acogedor y bien cuidado y e l servicio es atento y profesional, siempre pendientes de que todo esté perfecto. Pedimos paella de rape y arroz a la valenciana, y ambos estaban buenísimos, con un sabor espectacular y en su punto. La presentación y la calidad de los platos fueron de diez. Sin duda, un sitio muy recomendable al que apetece volver.

El sitio es simplemente espectacular. La calidad de comida es fabulosa, ni que decir que el personal es mas que correcto, te hace sentir como en casa, a la par de su amabilidad, saber estar, profesionalidad y simpatía. No dudes en dejarte aconsejar, da gusto como explican el producto y orientarte wegun tua gustos y preferencias. El ambiente es muy acogedor, no hay mucha molestia por el ruido ambiente, y las mesas son muy cómodas asi como las sillas. Son de esos sitios que te apetece volver.

What a wonderful experience.Best place in Madrid . Miguel helped us so much choosing the right food. If you want fresh fish this is the place. Go for it you will not regret. I am not even going to mention the wine.

Mari Geisenhof

Although we are novices regarding paella (and Fideuà), Miguel and his patient team walked us through the meal from starters to dessert. EVERYTHING was impressive and so flavorful. They were so attentive, and very accepting, of our limited language ability. This was a definite highlight of our vacation and we learned so much from them. We highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!

Aldo Gonzalez-Serva

One of the best rice and paella places I have been in. My family is attending for more than 40 years. His host Manuel López is friendly and knowledgeable. Tonight we combined surf-and-turf paellas. Sea and land. I recommend it. Aldo Gonzalez-Serva, MD

Hands down the best arroceria in Madrid. Exceptional service, fabulous food, and a wonderful wine list. Highly recommend the alcachofas stuffed with txangurro and of course their paella - particularly arroz marisco or arroz negro con sepia.

Ghada Afani

The best sea food restaurant in madrid! Well cooked, delicious taste, impeccable variety! Recommend having the cockles, the octopus leg with potatoes the sea bass salt! Super interesting and flavorful 😋Julian, our waiter, was very attending, super helpful to pick dishes, professional and friendly!

This restaurant was recommended at the Hotel I was staying. I requested a good paella restaurant. I know I’m in Madrid not the best place to request paella. But St.James was 10X better than anything I had in Barcelona. The main waiter Mr.Jesus was fantastic. From his wine selection advice to the quantity of food to order for our small party. The paella was not too fishy which is always a plus. The other waiters / servers were equally as attentive. This restaurant is fine dining. Even to the point of mouth wash in the bathroom. Highly recommended.

Agradable. Buen servicio. Arroces muy buenos a un precio aceptable (no confundir con barato). Hay otras arrocerías en Madrid bastante más caras.

El lugar es muy agradable y los clientes la mayoría son locales La comida es buena El arroz no fue mi favorito El carpaccio de pulpo y las anchoas excelentes

Amazing appetizers. Had the Russian salad, grilled avocado with shrimp, and tasty grilled vegetables. Everything was very fresh! I enjoyed the paella, although from the people I was with, it's usually done differently and one wasn't a fan. The rest liked it alot! Good quality lunch. Service was amazing.

Antonio Sanchez

Their Juan Bravo establishment has never disappointed me and all rice dishes I have tried were excellent in flavour, quality of ingredients, quantity of portions and cooking point. Very good appetizers, especially the daily and seasonal specials. Service can be a bit choppy depending on who is responsible for your table (hence my 3 stars rating on this aspect). Update on January 2025: another classic establishment that starts to fall prey to the new wave of Barrio de Salamanca consumers. Food quality and service has deteriorated and prices increased. Also the rice offers have adapted to these new trends. Still a very good place but for how long?

Last time we came we were in the terrace this time we were in the dinning room,. The oysters were stunning, the artichokes with crab and croquettes were delicious. I think we chose the wrong rice, we had a rice Alicantino with rabbit and chickpeas, it was a little dry and not as tasty as I expected. I recommend eating on the terrace.

Francesco Bianchi

I was positively impressed by the quality of the food and of the presentations considering that we went there as a large group something always hard to deal with (we were in fact over 30 people). The croquettes were particularly tasty and the tomatoes seemed high quality. I found the paella a bit disappointing, especially considering that the restaurant seems specialized in that. I opted for the seafood one, which is usually very rich and instead mine had a bland taste. I also couldn't find any sign of the crust that normally forms on top. A couple of other guests seemed to share my opinion on the rice. Service was super attentive.

Del ambiente poco puedo decir porque estuvimos en terraza pero la verdad vino muy bien para un día de más buen tiempo. Dentro al pasar al baño de ambiente era nulo (al menos ese dia) . La comida esta buena pero el precio es desorbitado para lo que ofrecen que no es nada que no este mejor en otros sitios más baratos. propio de la zona. El servicio me resultó un tanto molesto porque todo el rato intentaban retirarnos platos o vasos que aun estábamos disfrutando. No se si para echarnos o para que pidiéramos más. Lo dicho no creo que vuelva a pesar de de que la comida era decente.

Lovely restaurant and staff serving flavorless, disappointing food. Restaurant was recommended by our hotel concierge as having the best Paella. It was maybe the worst.

Pricey and seafood were not good. We ordered the seafood with rice (see picture), there were a few tiny shrimps and clams. We asked for hot sauce to eat with the food, and found that hot sauce was charged. At the end we were disappointed at this restaurant.

Connie Kang

This is the only place in Madrid Spain we were disappointed. The paella cost nearly 50 euros, very salty, not worth the price at all, 7 euros for 2 small pieces of bread, not recommended, They need a lot of improvement!!!

Batya Levinthal

Went with high expectations after hearing it was the best paella in town! While service was good, the food was below par. I also don’t appreciate not being told that bread and condiments cost extra and then being slapped with a bill for far more than budgeted for. Left a bad taste sadly.

Kevin Hsieh

Very disappointed. Surprisingly not novel. We were recommended this place by a friend that held this restaurant in high regards, saying he had some best paella here. While the service was expedient, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food- especially at the price point, was very very disappointing. We ordered the St. James paella, and were really looking forward to it after being reassured by the waiter that this was the best paella dish in the house. The menu promised lobster, prawns, cuttlefish, and more. We were given crab crackers and tools, which only heightened our expectation that a good deal of fresh seafood was on its way with this paella. What we really received was very normal paella was three overcooked, mushy prawns on a side plate. While the other two dishes we ordered tasty fairly good, the confit artichokes stuffed with spider crab and the grilled razor clams, the fact that the paella was so substandard was the biggest turn-off for us. The final straw for us was seeing the bill breakdown at the end of the meal. The St. James paella was €38, and only after seeing the bill did we find out that it was €38 per person’s portion. €76 for a plate each of oily flavored rice and 3 prawns. What were seafood tools for? Looking pretty? In the context of the price, my disappointment for our experience skyrocketed. I have a hard time coming up with better descriptions of our experience besides the word disappointment, but it truly is the best word for it. The expectation subversion was so extreme that it really brought down our day. For a fine dining restaurant, for the price point, we expected excellent food not just excellent service. Overcooked and mushy prawns should not be happening.

Elaine

Overall horrible experience. The waiter did not pay attention to food allergies and still had it in my rice even though it did not state it their menu. They tried to make a different plate and stated it will take 10 mins but we patiently waited 25 mins. One of the older lady working there was rude in her facial expressions. This place was not authentic and felt it was a tourist trap. Never coming back here and this was our first visit to Madrid. I even told our hotel concierge that help us make the reservation to not even recommend again.

The food was terrible. Especially paella salty rice with cooked inpersonal taste prawns. Paella ,,with sea food"without sea food. The waiter was very polite.

Hacía años que no íbamos y teníamos muy buen recuerdo de este Restaurante . Hoy hemos ido 8 personas a celebrar un cumpleaños y nos ha parecido de lo más vulgar. Pedimos puntillitas con habas y había cuatro puntillas nadando entre habas mala fritura , pata de pulpo brasa no era para estaba seca como recalentada en el micro y correosa.. de segundos dos arroces uno de verduras y otro a Banda y ambos no valían nada para colmo han puesto de aperitivo unos mini blinis y una mini milhojas de patata regular pero lo malo es que lo han cobrado a 20€ y pico !!! Flipante !! En definitiva una pena NO LO RECOMIENDO EN ABSOLUTO !! El servicio muy regular , el pan como en trozos ordinarios !! Una pena porque lo recordábamos estupendo pero ya está borrado de nuestra lista . No comento el precio porque es desorbitado para la calidad tan baja. No voy a comentar la entrada y acceso a comedores porque no están adaptados … algo que hoy por es obligatorio en la Comunidad de Madrid En fin muy mala experiencia que no pensamos repetir y por supuesto no pensamos recomendar a nadie . Les deseo que mejoren NO TODO VALE !
