No he ido a comer ni a cenar de ahí que no puntúe este punto aunque sé presume que estará muy correcto. El lugar es.muy agradable y acogedor con un trato excelente. Nivel alto de calidad y lujo.

Fuimos a comer y la experiencia no pudo ser mejor. Alejandro y Sara nos atendieron de forma impecable: cercanos, atentos y siempre pendientes de cada detalle, de esos profesionales que marcan la diferencia sin necesidad de forzar nada. Pedimos el cocido y estaba simplemente impresionante, sabroso, casero y de los que reconcilian con la cocina tradicional. Además, el local es muy acogedor y con mucho encanto. Sin duda, un sitio para repetir.

Visitar El Café de la Ópera ha sido una experiencia verdaderamente fantástica. Desde el primer momento, el ambiente elegante y acogedor invita a disfrutar de una velada especial. La comida destaca por su calidad y presentación: platos cuidados al detalle, sabores equilibrados y una selección que combina tradición con un toque moderno. El servicio es impecable. El personal es atento, amable y siempre dispuesto a recomendar y hacer que cada comensal se sienta cómodo. Se nota la profesionalidad y el cariño con el que trabajan. Pero lo que convierte esta experiencia en algo único es la maravillosa actuación lírica. Las interpretaciones de ópera y zarzuela dan vida al lugar, creando momentos mágicos que emocionan y sorprenden. Escuchar piezas clásicas mientras se cena es un lujo difícil de encontrar en otros restaurantes. En conjunto, El Café de la Ópera ofrece una combinación perfecta de gastronomía, trato excepcional y arte en directo. Un sitio imprescindible para quienes buscan una noche especial y diferente. Muy recomendable.

Excellent menu and high quality services. I have tried several starters and mains during two weeks and the quality of products and preparation was constantly high. Sometimes can be crowded, therefore take care of and make a reservation.

The place is beautiful and the evening was even more wonderful. It was a lovely experience, and I recommend everyone try it.

We ate breakfast here every morning during our stay. Food is great and service is quick and pleasant.

This is a very nice place. Calm, peaceful and very atmospheric. Lots of plants and an elegant interior. Very friendly service. If you're nearby, be sure to stop by!

Excellent food, prompt and efficient service. We had three appetizers, some bread, and a bottle of wine for the two of us.

This place is right near the Royal Palace and sits rights across from the opera house. It is a great place to sit outside and enjoy the day while feasting on delicious meals. Highly recommend. If anything, for the pleasant experience. Oxtail confeit and the pork ribs on point.

We went to the Una Cena Cantada… saturday night set meal and opera performance … and had such a great time. The food was lovely, staff gracious and efficient … with 3 excellent opera singers wandering through the restaurant singing opera favourites. Such a pleasant night.

Delicious, clean, the food delicious, pizza perfect, and all the drink selections I love about Spain, with a historical walk and right next to Felipe Conde luthier! ♡

Excellent service, delicious food, and extra care to people with food allergies. The portions are immense! Try the Iberian ham croquettes: they are amazing!

We went for the special Zarzuela dinner, which is a pris fix 4 course dinner with lyric singers performing traditional music from Zarzuelas. It happens in the lower salon, which has a grand piano …

Dropped in for a dinner and had a good experience. Good evening card with meat fish and pasta. Friendly service with good level of English. Happy to return another time

Roxy was our waitress. She is very attentive to our needs & I see her doing the same way to the other guests. Food was delicious, we only waited for a few minutes. I highly recommend this place.

Great place to have a nice coffee or just some drinks with a few friends, the waitresses were very nice and profissional and a special shout out to one of the waitresses Roxy. She was very attent…

Great food in a serene and pleasant environment. Roxy was incredible- so patient and helpful with my poor Spanish and fantastic service!! Highly reccomended.

So I popped in here for a sneaky vino after the Royal Palace and ended up having the best food I've had so far in Spain. A really well balanced shrimp salad, lots of garlic, salt, flavour; followed…

Totally recommend. It’s our second time we will be back with friends and again with the kids. It’s an unforgettable romantic evening. Perfect for a date, birthday or celebration. We came here…

Menú de cocido por 29€ sin bebida. El cocido lo sirven en varios vuelcos aunque puedes pedirlo todo junto. Croqueta de cocido, encurtidos, sopa de cocido, verduras y la carne. Y de postre incluido en el menú, leche frita. El cocido estaba muy bueno todo y las cantidades son muy generosas, no fuimos capaces de terminarlo. La pega, uno que te piden adelantar el precio del menú junto la reserva y dos el precio de las bebidas que nos pareció muy elevado, tanto el vino como los cafés, lo que hace que el precio total por persona se eleve considerablemente (45€/p)

Probamos el cocido completo y la valoración es buena, la sopa muy rica sabor y buena cantidad, los garbanzos con la patata, el repollo y la zanahoria también bien... las carnes y tocino muy ricos, pero el chorizo y la morcilla no nos pareció que estuviera a la altura. La carta de vinos es buena aunque no muy economica. Tienen buenas referencias eso si.. El servicio atento, educados y rápidos. En el precio del cocido no va incluida la bebida.

Una experiencia diferente. La cena cantada es una bonita experiencia que te acerca a la ópera y a la Zarzuela de una manera diferente. Muy buen trato y buena comida en un entorno agradable, para repetir en pareja o con amigos.

We visit this place twice for a lunch as we are staying nearby. It was pretty good for the food, ( not everything, but most of the things which we ordered were fine). For the service ok, first day had to asked 3 times for bill, it took about 20 min. Today was a lady who spoke great English and was fast. The only thing I found weird that second day they charged for 3 small pieces of bread (which we didn’t order, it’s coming automatically with lunch) 5€, and first day they charged normally for lunch and drinks separately. That’s is ok, but would be fair to inform somewhere about it. Must be on the menu list then.

Ok, I have over 500 contributions and notice that Rafael has ?2 and Deborah H has 6... I wonder why they reported such poor service as "Charlie" was outstanding. When the sun shifted, he moved us to …

Food is too salty and you have to wait too long. One hour for a toast is too long. Also very expensive. We will not visit this place again.

The cafe is very clean and classy. The live piano was fine. It's ok to have a week day evening at there and relax. A very special thanks to Mr. Viktor. Very friendly and professional waiter.

Great location. Server was not around much and the restaurant was not busy. I ordered salad and it was good. Ordered the risotto and… it was not risotto. This was very wet- not quite soup. There was actually standing liquid…cream? Rice was not al dente. And… it was not hot… not even warm. My wife had salmon which was slightly undercooked but was hot and flavorful- she liked it.

Visita el 28/02/2026 Una experiencia extraña. El camarero fue arrogante y bastante desagradable, además de no parecer competente en su trabajo. Tomó mal el pedido y luego afirmó que la confusión fue nuestra. El zumo que venden como “fresh - zumo natural” parecía, como mínimo, mezclado con zumo de naranja comprado. La relación calidad-precio es bastante dudosa. Me parece que el lugar pretende ser algo que en realidad no es. Por otro lado, la tostada con jamón estaba muy buena.

Food was good. Price was decent. Service was terrible. Ignored by the female waitress when ordering food. Not sure if this was rascist or not. But it sure felt like it. Had to specifically go up to her to take my order. Didn’t feel welcome at all.

should have seen it coming.... restaurants attached to hotels are rarely any good. and always overpriced. most things were not good. some things we ordered didn't arrive and the air-conditioning was so so.

Steinunn Björg

The service was just okay, the waiter did not have a smile on his face and looked kind of pissed. The food was kinda bad especially the fish and chips was really really bad. I do not recommend.

This is a copy of my Yelp review, please see https://yelp.to/b6__j9vdwf My reviews generally have a positive selection bias. If a restaurant is great I'll review it. If it's mediocre, I'll probably not bother. Enticed by good Google reviews our family decided to give our hotel's restaurant a shot for dinner. What a disappointment. A closer examination of the positive reviews praised this locations' music, drinks, and ambiance. Its Yelp reviews are terrible. Thus I must break my bias and leave a negative review. I do not enjoy doing so. Despite coming later in the evening (9pm) with a restaurant only half full we waited over an hour before receiving our meal. After a greasy deep fried amuse-bouche: some tempura vegetable and an omelette cracker(?) we could barely ingest, we waited. Then waited some more. While I dock excessive wait times from the service column some credit to the staff here - when my daughter in elementary school complained loudly how hungry she was to us, the waiter brought out a slice of Serrano ham on toast to placate her. On arrival the kid's pasta was adequate, if somewhat tangy, but the steaks were an operatic tragedy. Both steaks were ordered medium but came back deep blue in the center. I generally sympathize with the European lean towards rare meat (medium-rare for me all day) but this was excessive, and the first time I sent two steaks back. Tragically, when they were returned to us they were both well done, dry, and almost lacking in flavor. Honestly it has been years since I've faced the double slap of a steak first blue then well done. What a waste of a perfectly good piece of meat and an insult to the proud Spanish bull. The restaurant was reasonably attractive and clean, the staff friendly enough, although very slow as mentioned above, and the prices would have been reasonable were the steaks properly cooked. I cannot sing any praises for Cafe Opera - the entire experience fell flat. No more puns - I recommend you skip this one. Food: 1.5/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 3/5

I ordered ox tail and it was definitely the worst food I had in all my vacation. Waiters were focused on something else all the time. Had to ask 3.different waiters for my bill. There are way many options close to this place, I don't recommend it.

‘Eggs Benedict’ era como sopa frío. ‘Opera Buffet’ era una broma. It was an expensive and nasty experience. Wish I’d never gone there. It isn’t the worst in Madrid. It’s the worst in Spain

Tome un vino en la barra ¡SEIS EUROS ! Ya no es que no te pongan un pincho decente , ni siquiera unas miserables patatas por ese precio . Además si miras su carta en internet pone que la copa es 4,5 … prefiero pensar que no hayan actualizado la carta pero quizás deberían revisar su servicio . Otro lugar solo para turistas incautos , nacionales abstenerse Edito el comentario para responder al propietario que parece no saber leer : VINO EN LA BARRA, verdejo del montón … si el mismo reconoce que se cobró a precio de terraza que revise a sus camareros . Un saludo.

Fatal todo! El día de ayer (08/07/2025) fui con mi madre a tomar algo y picar, nos atendió una chica (fue entre las 19:00) le pedimos a la chica la carta y dos cervezas, también que nos limpiara la mesa, le pedimos por favor, la chica limpió mal la Mesa y aparte casi me tira el trapo de la limpieza, un maltrato, aparte no nos puso patatas y me tuve que levantar a buscar algo , el chico que me fue a dar la patatas me fue a servir en un plato de patatas usadas, quería rellenar la n cuenco de uno usado, le reclamé y me dijo que no, que era que le faltaba jajajaja…nos fuimos. NO VAYAN TODO MAL.

Tienes que ir a este sitio antes de que te de hambre. Si pudiera poner cero en el servicio lo pondría, fui ayer con mi familia a las 21h, pedimos 3 platos y dos entrantes. El camarero encargado era un chico moreno súper borde y maleducado. A las 21:50 todavía no llegaba ni la tortilla de entrante que pedimos, se lo comentamos y con malas formas nos discutía que “solo habían dos cocineros” entre otras cosas. Al dejar los platos más nunca volvió a la mesa para asegurarse de que todo estaba ok (cuando no lo estaba, nos sirvieron un pan que le aflojó los dientes a mi sobrina) nos evitaba cuando le llamábamos, nos tuvimos que poner de pie e ir a buscarle… en fin, dejó mucho que desear, es que ni el mínimo. Varias veces tuvo que venir un chico que atendía mesas de AFUERA para atendernos a nosotros que estábamos DENTRO. Un chico encantador que se llama Alejandro, el único que se disculpó por la mala atención y la demora de la comida. Y si tengo que mencionar algo sobre la comida, el salmón cuesta 25€ y vienen dos trozos del tamaño del tenedor, dejo la foto.

Ordered breakfast real my wife was done with her breakfast and I still did not receive mine. We left. Too many places to try. I say skip this one.
