Restaurante increíble, de esos que necesitas ir por lo menos una vez e incluso ya es suficiente. Teníamos un menú cerrado, super bien de precio que compramos para regalo en Navidad (fuego experience). Son muchísimos platos con los que pruebas casi la mitad de la carta y con bebida incluída: 2 coktails y una botella de vino, además de agua y café. El servicio muy atento y simpático, te dejan tu espacio pero te miman constantemente. De los platos, yo destacaría el edamame a las brasas con salsa picante, el carpaccio curado de vaca vieja y la tarta di rose. Lo demás todo increíble pero estos platos nunca los había probado así. Merece mucho la pena.

Sitio muy acogedor y aunque parece oscuro en las mesas no falta luz. Fuimos en fin de semana dos personas y elegimos a la carta, te ponen unas rodajas de longaniza con pan y una mantequilla que está buenísima,seguimos con 3 entrantes, aguacate a la brasa esquisito,un trampantojo de foie que está bueno sin más y un par de " la hamburguesa que le dio sentido a todo " de carne de picaña picada delante tuya en el momento que estaban riquísimas junto con la salsa que llevan un acierto,y como principal los 600g de ribeye black Angus de vaca vieja que te la traen al punto que pidas,estaba tirando a normal para ser uno de sus cortes premium con puré como guarnición que estaba riquísimo más su postre estrella tarta di rose que estaba muy rico. Salimos bastante llenos, con dos entrantes y una principal hubiera sido suficiente comida. Destacar que tienen servicio de aparcacoches,un punto muy a favor ya que donde está situado aparcar cerca está complicado y también servicio de ropero. En general todo muy bien y rico, para repetir pero esperábamos algo mas de calidad en la carne.

The steak menu was incredible. It was one of the best steaks I have ever had and the portions were huge. I will definitely come back.

When the taxi stopped in front of Hyat Hotel we immediately thought “overated”! We could not be more wrong. It is one of the best places we have ever been. Incredible food, fantastic atmosphere and the best possible service. Rib eye with onion soice are the 2 champion dishes but every dish we has was so incredibly tasty. The somelie also did an great job with the rioja so our dinner last night was perfect. I need to mention that we were a party of 10 and still they took such good care of us.

10/10 food and service. the butter they serve with the bread is exceptional. and the mini burgers are delicious. we ordered tomahawk which tasted very burnt and upon request they gave us a new one, which was cooked to perfection. i really appreciate their service and professionalism. this will definitely be a place to revisit again and again! thank you!!

Set in a beautiful, intimate basement space with dark, moody lighting, Lena offers a refined yet vibrant atmosphere that secures its place as one of Madrid’s premier steak and grill houses. The menu covers the full spectrum—from veggie and meat starters to small bites and an impressive selection of premium cuts and seafood. Dinner began with warm sourdough bread and hand-turned butter topped with Black Sea salt, a simple but unforgettable start. I followed with perfectly charred leeks layered with mustard and ham, offering great depth of flavor, and then a yakitori chicken skewer glazed with Asian soy, cooked to perfection. For the main, I chose the 200g Iberic pork loin, which was tender, flavorful, and elevated by a side of asparagus au gratin—rich, creamy, and well-balanced. Overall, Lena delivers on both atmosphere and food, with thoughtful touches across the board. Just be sure to book ahead, as reservations are required.

I celebrated my birthday lunch at LENA steakhouse in Madrid, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, the service was warm, attentive, and polished, exactly what you’d expect from a world class restaurant. I ordered the Wagyu steak, and I can honestly say it was the best meat I have ever eaten in my life — melt-in-your-mouth tender, bursting with flavour, and cooked to absolute perfection. My daughter ordered a hamburger, and in true LENA style, the premium cuts of meat were beautifully presented and hand-ground right at our table, making the experience both unique and memorable. The food was impeccable, the atmosphere elegant yet inviting, and the staff ensured every detail of our lunch felt special. I left feeling incredibly spoiled and already planning my return. Highly recommended for anyone who loves exceptional meat, flawless service, and a dining experience to remember.

A perfect anniversary dinner — everything just clicked! We chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, and it was the perfect match from the moment we arrived. ✨ The location, the ambience, and especially the staff who took care of us made the evening truly special. The food was top-notch — everything we tried was delicious, but we especially recommend the burger. The meat was absolutely spectacular, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. 🍔🔥 A place where good food meets good vibes. We’ll definitely be back!

We ordered the green apple foie gras, steak tartare, the mini burgers, solomillo, the rib eye, the potato purée, fries, Apple tart, mule and cocktails. The food was good but the cocktails were better. The ambience was great and the service was excellent.

We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday at Lena and had an amazing experience. It was super easy to organize with the team—they were helpful, responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly. We had a lovely private area, and they did everything I asked for. The atmosphere was great, the food was absolutely delicious, and the celebration felt really special. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

Great atmosphere that relaxes you. The staff are very polite and the food is simply amazing. Honestly, the beef tenderloin that I tried here became my second favourite ever that I have tried in my life. The meat was extremely juicy, fresh, and delicious. Full of flavour! They also serve at the beginning a homemade butter, which is so good that we had it ordered twice more during the evening as we simply could not get enough of it. The restaurant was full of people and the tables need to be rotated with new customers every 2 hours. And it is understandable - it is that good! Definitely make a reservation here when you visit Madrid and wish to have a bite of some beef!

The LEÑA is in a stylish location that combines modern design with an inviting ambience, our evening was a real treat. I was particularly impressed by the presentation of the meat. The dishes were excellently prepared and perfectly seasoned, so that every bite offered a harmonious taste experience. A particular highlight was the option to individually select the type of steak knife - a small but extremely stylish touch that rounded off the overall experience. One point that is also very important to me and was pleasantly noticed: the music was discreetly in the background and not too loud, so that you could have a very good conversation. One small point of criticism: unfortunately, the food cooled down relatively quickly, which could probably be avoided by using warmer plates. However, the service was consistently attentive and professional, without being intrusive, and made the visit an all-round successful experience. A restaurant that impresses with quality, style and service in equal measure.

Delicious high quality food at a reasonable price, at least for the brunch menu that we had. Their prices definitely run the gamut - from a $22 burger to a $100 steak. The brunch option is probably one of the best deals: $45 per person that includes 3 “entrantes” or sharing plates, then a main dish (we had 4 options to choose from), then a dessert, and coffee. They also offered orange or detox (think: kale + lemon) juices and water throughout the meal included in the price. Overall, we ate fantastically well, the servers were very professional, the food was awesome and it made for a really lively and positive brunch experience. We made our reservation for 11.30am, and finished by 1.30pm (they seemed to need to get ready for the lunch crowd that would start soon, so they gently signaled we had to start wrapping up with non-verbal cues, which is fair, we never really felt pressured though). Absolutely try this place at least once, you will not regret it.

Great restaurant. We went there for dinner and we started we some cocktails. Good offering and great presentation, I took one with Gin and apple, very fresh and not too sweet. Food is amazing, the meat is well cooked and super tender, you don’t need any extra sauce because it tastes great. Dessert was also good, very flavorful. Service is attentive and fast, we felt really well through the whole night. Location is fancy and highly curated. Definitely worth trying, so highly recommended.

🍽️Food: 5/5 🤵🏽‍♂️Service: 5/5 🪑Ambiance: 5/5 📝Notes: This was definitely one of the best restaurants in Madrid. The food was AMAZING and the atmosphere is really chill. The service could be a bit better as it was hard to find a waiter. But my two favorite dishes were the burgers and the kebab. PS. Try not to sit in the terrace area as its hard for them to prepare and serve the food in front of you (due to the barrier on the floor)

Repetiría las hamburguesas, el carpaccio de vaca y la ribeye de vaca también estaban muy buenos. Se nota el toque de la brasa! Los postres también muy buenos! Las croquetas sin más, no fue un plato que repetiría. Lo que no me gustó fueron los tiempos. Habíamos comprado un menú llamado Fuego Experience, nos trajeron el cóctel y ya nos estaban poniendo dos de los entrantes y en seguida el siguiente entrante… iba todo con mucha prisa. Le dijimos a la camarera, cuando iba a traer los postres, que esperara, por favor, que queríamos tomarnos el vino tranquilos. No nos puso problema, fue muy amable. La comida muy rica, el servicio bueno pero no repetiría comprar un menú porque van con mucha prisa para ponértelo todo enseguida. Volvería pero pidiendo a la carta.

La comida está buena. El pan y la mantequilla que te ponen de entrante está increíble. Algunos platos como el pulpo puede que se quede un poco escueto para el precio que tiene, aunque de sabor espectacular. Las burgers muy ricas, la carne la pican delante tuya y la marchan a cocina. Nosotros pedimos de principal la lubina a la brasa y súper buena. El local se encuentra bajo del hotel, la decoración y cada detalle cuidado al máximo. La atención recibida por parte del servicio muy correcta, puede que fuera por la hora en la que comimos pero los últimos platos tardaron en salir y mucho más en recogerse. Es más, nos trajeron antes la cuenta que el café. Es obligatorio realizar una reserva y con antelación, ya que puede que esté lleno si te esperas a los días previos.

Buena experiencia pero fui con muchas expectativas y tampoco es para tanto. En cuanto al ribeye de vaca vieja dejó mucho que desear, hay mejores carnes de vaca vieja en Castilla y León por ejemplo, el tartar deja mucho sabor a mostaza que no degustas el resto. El aguacate muy bueno, pretzel, hamburguesa y el postre estrella también. La atención muy buena desde que entras, y los camareros muy amables.

He ido a comer un brunch al restaurante Leña, de Dani García. En general, la experiencia ha sido buena. Toda la comida estaba rica, destacando especialmente la hamburguesa XL. También probé el pretzel de ternera, el aguacate de Málaga y el foie, y todos estaban muy buenos. El postre y el café estaban buenos, aunque el postre me resultó bastante normalito. De bebida nos sirvieron agua, zumo de naranja y café. La atención fue correcta y el restaurante está muy bien decorado, ideal para el postureo en Instagram. No le doy las 5 estrellas por algunos detalles que no me parecen acordes a un restaurante de este nivel y precio: el zumo de naranja no es natural, solo pusieron una botella de agua y, pese a ver que se había terminado, no la repusieron, y la hamburguesa llevaba tanta salsa que tapaba el sabor de la carne. Son pequeños fallos que no deberían darse en un restaurante con estrella Michelin. Aun así, recomiendo probarlo.

I had the ribeye steak, a side of asparagus and a glass of red wine. The steak was good and presented at the proper temperature. Even though the steak is well over €50 all of the accompaniments are a la carte. Although I was satisfied with the experience it is a bit underwhelming given the cost. The space is quite dark as it is in a basement.

Jose Assad

We had a great time and delicious dinner. But ironically, everything on the menu was outstanding EXCEPT the grilled steaks (we had the filet and the rib eye) were bland in taste and a bit chewy, wouldn't recommend this place if you are just looking for a good steakhouse, I would advise to order everything except the main courses! Out of that, everything was perfect and the staff was very friendly and professional. Also, absolutely make sure to order their signature dessert!

Evento organizado por American Express para socios con menú cerrado. Servicio ágil aunque un tanto impersonal. Menú correcto aunque sin platos destacables. La carne, para ser un restaurante especializado fría y cortada demasiado fina. Postres buenos. Se supone que estos eventos son para dar también a conocer el restaurante. No sé si lo elegiría.

Hoy hemos podido vivir la brunch experience en primera persona después de haber oído hablar tanto de ella. Todo me ha parecido correcto pero teniendo en cuenta el precio y el restaurante que es, me ha dejado un poco indiferente. El servicio de este tipo de restaurantes debería ser impecable y nos hemos encontrado con una carta sin el menú y tomando nota de la comida sin haberlo hecho de la bebida, es decir, mucha desorganizacion que se percibe a simple vista también en el resto de mesas. La comida en general era buena pero no destacaría ningún plato como extraordinario. El postre tarta di rose para mí gusto estaba demasiado seco, daba sensación de llevar días hecho.

Franca Maresca

Fancy restaurant, fancy prices (which is okay!), food is good but not excellent and some things should be definitely re-designed from the chef. Indeed, the meat is served already sliced on a plate.. which means it is soon cold and chewy. The offer of the “aperitivo” is charged so it is not really an offer. Overall, not a bad experience because the food is good, but certainly not the level we were expecting (especially for the way to serve the meat.. very raw and cold!).

Una total decepción! La comida está bien (nada sorprendente), pero es excesivamente caro y el servicio es pésimo. Pagamos 140€ cada uno y el servicio fue el mismo que te dan en un VIPs: nadie nos explicó ningún plato, nadie nos aconsejó sobre lo que pedimos, no nos invitaron ni a los cafés... No pongo 1 estrella porque creo que un fallo fue nuestro: pedimos demasiada comida; pero es que ningún camarero nos avisó de que nos estábamos pasando. Hubiese sido mejor opción un menú cerrado. En fin, un sitio para el postureo, nada exclusivo, con un servicio pésimo. El VIPS de los pijos. Ni volveré ni lo recomendaré.

Llevaba un tiempo sin ir a Leña, restaurante que me encantaba. Ayer sábado estuvimos comiendo 4 y para mi sorpresa el servicio fue inusualmente lento y nos sirvieron un solomillo que habíamos pedido al punto, frío. Tras decírselo al camarero se lo llevaron y al traerlo ya no estaba al punto pero sí seguía frío. Se lo llevaron otra vez y volvieron a traerlo, esta vez ya estaba muy hecho…no era lo que habíamos pedido, claro. Finalmente y después de 3 intentos…nos volvieron a traer otro solomillo al punto y caliente pero…ya habíamos terminado de comer hacía rato. Nos hicieron una bonificación ya que nos quedamos hasta el postre pero por desgracia, salí de ahí decepcionada. Una experiencia que no tiene nada que ver con las anteriores.

I visited Leña Madrid yesterday, and unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most unpleasant dining experiences I’ve ever had. The issue wasn’t the food — we didn’t even get that far. It was the shockingly rude and unprofessional behavior of the receptionist and several members of the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were completely ignored. We stood at the front desk for about five minutes without so much as a greeting. Instead, the receptionist glanced at us with constant side-eye, making us feel unwelcome from the start. After keeping us waiting for nearly 20 minutes, she finally led us to a room behind the kitchen — an old, unprepared back area with no proper table setup, completely separate from the main dining space. She didn’t ask if this seating was acceptable; she simply dropped us there and walked away, even laughing with a co-worker about the situation. When I expressed my frustration at the outrageous treatment, my reaction was not taken seriously by her or by the rest of the staff. One employee, who mentioned he was Moroccan, walked by with dismissive body language and told me to “calm down,” instead of acknowledging the issue or offering a solution. Not a single person apologized — not one. It wasn’t until 25 minutes later, when both we and another group of four women had to raise our voices and make our dissatisfaction clear, that someone in charge finally appeared. To her credit, she apologized sincerely and handled the situation professionally, but by that point, the damage had already been done. This level of disrespect is something I have never encountered in my life, and it is an experience I will unfortunately remember forever — associated with Leña Madrid.

We had an extremely disappointing experience at La Leña and if you read through other reviews, this seems to be a common issue. It took over 30 minutes just to get our food, and everything came out very slowly after that. Despite the delay being on their end, the staff kicked us out after two hours, saying we had been there too long. We were forced to pay the bill without finishing our wine, dessert, or coffee, which we had just ordered. The service was completely inconsiderate, and the whole situation was handled very poorly. For a restaurant that’s supposed to offer a warm dining experience, this was anything but. I would not recommend La Leña to anyone looking for good service or a relaxed meal. If you’re in the area and want great food and respectful service, I’d recommend trying one of these instead: • Casa del Toro – Amazing Latin flavors and friendly staff. • Barrio – Great atmosphere and consistently good food. • Bulla Gastrobar – Excellent tapas and attentive service. • Boqueria – A lively spot with great Spanish dishes and no rush. • The Bazaar by José Andrés – Pricier, but worth it for the experience and professionalism.

Greeted ok, shown table, but request to be at a smaller table for our party of 3 could not be accommodated. Waiter didn’t show up for a long time. Sommelier showed up before the waiter. Lots of upsell. Picked a nice Priorat. Was corked. Sommelier wouldn’t come back, so someone else did, and offered a new bottle, but different producer. Way too strong (15.5%) (And the price quoted was less than the price charged). We finished about half, it was too strong. Food wise, the appetizers were solid (avocado, burrata), that was the only reason this review isn’t a straight one. The steak was nearly raw, and had to be sent back twice. The second time it was practically dropped on the table as if defiant. My son couldn’t eat it. My wife ate little. The sauces were ok, mine never appeared and when i asked to follow up, i was told it wasn’t available. Getting the bill took a few requests. The waiter clearly knew we were disappointed, but never expressed any concern or support. Would never go back. Would never recommend. Either the restaurant has lost its moorings, or Michelin has.

Truly not the kind of brunch I expected. The starters were ok but I would rate lowly the main dishes. The burger was just ordinary. The sauce of the egg benedict was too heavy. This is probably one of the worst egg benedict I have ever had. The croissant was filled with a heavy ice cream made with toffee butter. So heavy!!!!!! The worst was the tea. It’s supposed to be a high-end brunch at €45 per person but I was served with a cheap cheap tea bag. Very unsophisticated! What’s the fuss about this ordinary ripoff brunch!!!
