Nos gustó mucho el ambiente, acogedor y agradable. El servicio en sala fue muy bueno, atentos y profesionales. El menú nos sorprendió por su calidad, especialmente el pescado, realmente bien elaborado. También nos encantó ver cómo se preparaban en sala algunos platos como el pato o los postres, un detalle que suma a la experiencia. Un restaurante muy recomendable y lleno de historia.

Llegamos antes de nuestra reserva y nos dieron mesa al momento. En una sala súper tranquila con solo 4 mesas y estuvimos solo un buen rato, es un lugar mágico lleno de historia. Reservamos el menú de Cocido, sin palabras!!!! Primero unas croquetas y he de decir que estaban tremendas. También pusieron un hummus excelente. El caldo especialidad de la casa con su Chispa. El pan de masa madre muy muy bueno. Llegamos al cocido: Primero la sopa de fideos, intensa sin nada de grasa estaba deliciosa y yo soy de sopas !!! Riquísima También una bandeja con garbanzos y jamón . Y por último cuando ya no puedes más llega la carne!!! No me la esperaba. No pudimos con todo y somos de comer abundante. Todo el producto de primera calidad de ahí que sea ese precio es todo una delicatessen. Todo el personal de nuestra sala muy atento a que no faltara nada . Por último el postre de la casa que está incluido en el menú el soufflé de merengue con bizcocho y helado de vanilla. Es toda una experiencia Precio elevado pero es que la calidad lo vale .

Bueno Que decir del lhardy si ha sido referencia de reyes en Madrid es un sitio con una historia de escándalo es el primer restaurante como hoy se conoce en Madrid antes se comía ll que habia y hasta se regateaba el precio edte fue el primero en tener carta con precios fijos Tiene el teléfono auténtico desde el q comunicaba la reina isabel pra reservar su salón Comimos cocido estupendo sopa de 10 garbanzos perfectos y solo los cachos bueno bien. La croqueta de cocido de 10 como el trato del personal y la encargada que nos hizo de guía Todo perfecto una maravilla que si o si hay que ir a ver

Experiencia impecable. El cocido madrileño es, sencillamente, espectacular: producto de primera, caldo profundo y sabroso, y unos vuelcos perfectamente equilibrados. Se nota el oficio y el respeto por la receta tradicional. El trato del equipo es cercano y profesional, con ese punto clásico que encaja a la perfección con el entorno. Y qué decir del lugar: un espacio lleno de historia, elegancia y detalles que te transportan a otra época sin perder comodidad. Si buscas un cocido memorable en Madrid, en un restaurante con alma y tradición, Lhardy es apuesta segura. Si podéis elegir, reservad en el salón Isabelino.

The cocido madrileño is absolutely worth the price in terms of flavor, quality and the service. The portion size is insanely massive though. I think I don't need to eat for a week after it. 😂

It's been an experience to remember. In our private room we had an excellent service from Pedro, who was most helpful. Amazing tastes! Definitely worth visiting!!

A Tradition Since 1839 A true symbol of Madrid’s culinary history, Lhardy has been serving discerning guests since 1839. Stepping into this establishment feels like traveling back in time — elegance, charm, and tradition in every corner. Their famous consommé, served piping hot, is the perfect comfort on a chilly day. Fresh oysters and a perfectly balanced tartar complete the experience, ideally enjoyed with a glass of vermouth or a cold beer. Guests can choose between dining in the elegant restaurant or enjoying the ambiance at the front bar — both spaces radiate classic Madrid character. Lhardy remains a timeless institution that every visitor to Madrid should experience.

What a fabulous place. My friend and I discovered it by accident and what an absolute gem it was. We had a glass of cava and a selection of pastries. What a delight. So delicious. I highly recommend.

One of the oldest restaurants in Madrid, opened in 1839. Spanish cuisine. Atmosphere breaths with history. Great desserts.

We visited Lhardy for our 10th wedding anniversary and what a fantastic experience it was. The ambience and decor is very traditional, but the staff are welcoming and relaxed, so it doesn’t feel stuffy or overly formal.

The place to go to try a traditional cocido de Madrid. It's pricey (68 euros per person, including dessert) but it's worth it!

Lhardy has been serving old-money elegance since 1839. You walk in and immediately feel underdressed, even if you’re in your best Eurotrip outfit. But here’s the twist, I came for bakery vibes and left with smoked salmon avocado toast. No sweets. Because I’m a rebel. Or more accurately, I needed fuel and not a sugar coma. The vibe is like a Versailles brunch.service was A++++. We had to be somewhere in 40 minutes and they accommodated swiftly.

Lhardy was an unforgettable experience. Tucked away behind its classic façade is a stunning upstairs dining room that completely took us by surprise—elegant, warm, and full of charm. The food was outstanding: the cocido, oxtail (el rabo), and duck were all perfectly prepared and full of flavor. We paired our meal with a bottle of Champagne and finished with dessert, and every bite was exceptional. The service was impeccable—the staff struck the perfect balance of attentiveness and warmth. We truly felt taken care of. I can’t wait to return.

We didn't go to the main restaurant because I like the atmosphere of a Japanese restaurant. All the seafood is very fresh, and if you only eat some TAPAS with some white wine or sherry, the bill won't make you jump! 🤪By the way, I like the waitresses, they all speak English, and you can see that they know Spanish tapas very well!

A must visit if in Madrid!!!! The oldest restaurant in Madrid outdid itself as each dish was better than the last one! Super delicious Spanish dishes. Service was excellent! Great wines served as well.

One of the best bakery shops in town! Try their apple pie! At first, we expected it to be pricey. However, the price was reasonable. There was not a lot of space but we quite like the overall decorations. The service was quick & professional. I'd come back here.

Visitamos Lhardy, un restaurante emblemático de Madrid por su historia y tradición. Reservamos en el segundo turno y, aunque teníamos hora asignada, nos hicieron esperar unos 30 minutos para entrar, de pie en un pasillo sin asientos y sin posibilidad de tomar nada, ya que no hay barra. Una vez dentro, la experiencia mejora: el restaurante es precioso, con ese aire clásico tan característico, y el servicio es amable y atento. Pedimos varios de sus platos típicos: el paté no nos convenció, con una textura seca y exceso de ingredientes; en cambio, las setas de temporada estaban exquisitas, lo mejor de la comida. El solomillo Wellington fue una grata sorpresa, pese a no ser uno de mis platos favoritos: sabroso, bien equilibrado y en una porción perfecta, suficiente sin resultar pesado. En resumen, merece la pena conocerlo por su historia y su encanto, aunque la experiencia podría mejorar en organización.

Luces y sombras. Dado que nuestro menú consistió en croquetas de cocido (realmente sabrosas, cremosa y de buen tamaño) y el propio cocido madrileño, no puedo valorar nada más de la carta. El cocido no me satisfizo tanto... garbanzos secos y sin llegar al punto de cocción ideal. Mucha berza con jamón (muy sabroso), pero excesiva. No tan excesiva la selección de carnes, además, algo (o muy) secas y no demasiado sabrosas. Se salvaba el trozo de tocino y de morcilla. En ocasiones agobiaba la continuidad con la que te traían los diferentes platos porque irremediablemente algo se quedaba frío.... a veces costaba contar con la presencia de camareros (muy amables), pero tener la bebida "custodiada" por camareros a los que no podías acceder cuando lo necesitabas.... De postre un souflé muy recomendable.

Histórico de la gastronomía madrileña. Una visita recomendable en la vida, aunque el precio desorbitado hace ya cuestionable la experiencia. Entorno muy agradable y palaciego, con un cocido a muy buen nivel donde destacaríamos caldo, garbanzos, repollo y morcilla. Servicio profesional y agradable, algo acelerado, aunque cuestionable la reserva de mesa durante 2 horas a este precio.

Reservé con mucha antelación para probar el cocido en Lhardy, ya que conseguir mesa para dos personas fue realmente complicado. Recomiendo encarecidamente reservar con bastante tiempo, especialmente si se quiere disfrutar del cocido. El ambiente del salón me gustó mucho: elegante, clásico y con ese aire histórico que hace que la experiencia sea especial desde que uno entra. El servicio de sala fue correcto y atento. En cuanto al cocido, la verdad es que me gustó mucho. Me llevé una grata sorpresa con el llamado “tercer vuelco”, que incluye el suflé de Lhardy, un postre que quería probar sí o sí. Y no decepcionó: sencillamente exquisito, sin palabras. De las carnes, destacaría especialmente la morcilla del Valle de Arán, que me pareció excelente. Quizá lo que menos me convenció fue el morcillo, que encontré un poco seco. La sopa estaba muy buena, los garbanzos espectaculares y el repollo también a gran nivel. En definitiva, una experiencia muy satisfactoria. Volveré, sin duda. Lo recomiendo, pero insisto: si queréis probar el cocido, reservad con mucha antelación.

Amazing roscón. The seating area isn’t very comfortable, but the place itself is great. The roscón costs €4.50 to take away, while it’s €7 if you eat it there. The downstairs seating is not very comfortable, so I would recommend taking it to go.

When in Madrid, one must try Cocido. The best place for it is in Lhardy’s. Our main problem was we did not know that the dish was good enough for 2 people . We ordered a 2nd main dish and it was too much for us. I felt that the waiter should have explained that the Cocido was enough for 2. We were served soup of the cocido. It had chick peas and shredded ham. Then after the meats of the dish: sausage, chicken, pork and beef. The meal ended with a flambé dessert.

Hemos estado cenando el jueves y la comida está muy buena. El servicio es amable y correcto, no obstante, es excesivamente lento. Igualmente volveremos, el salpicón de bogavante muy rico al igual que las croquetas de cocido. El goloso de chocolate, realmente es goloso :). No obstante, el olor que se queda a comida en la ropa es terrible de la cocina en vivo en sala.

This was the most disappointing dinner of our trip. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the service was pretty good, but we found the food to be really lacking. It started great, the consume was fantastic. The starters were fine, overpriced, but fine the main courses, though were pretty bad. I got the Wellington, the crust of which was soggy inside and out. While the meat was cooked properly, it was tough. I left most of it on the plate. The “crispy potatoes“ that came with it were simply potato chips from a bag. My dining companion got the salt baked sole. It came and was prepared tableside about 5 to 10 minutes before my Wellington arrived. So by the time we both had our food, the fish was ice cold. The mashed potatoes we rder3d as a side came in portion sizes of literally a tablespoon each. The three stars on the rating or for the atmosphere and the consume otherwise this was two stars front to back.

A very posh, proper and traditional experience, although a bit stuffy we were excited to try the dinner and famous stew. However the food was not my personal taste, very heavy and meat forward menu, not a lot of inventiveness with the dishes. Not very fresh feeling. Very traditional. Perhaps that is what you are after, but it felt a bit stuffy. Very over priced. The menu is not very seasonal, as we were there in summer, and everything was very heavy. My partner got the meat sweats, a bit ill from all the overcooked rubbery meat. It wasn’t horrible overall but only because of the atmosphere, if you got this food in a bland environment you’d be sorely disappointed. Beautiful bread though. The stew is 65 euro for those asking about current prices. Wouldn’t go out of your way for this one.

Buenas, Fui con unos proveedores a comer, ya que querían comer un buen cocido madrileño y bueno, me equivoqué. Desconozco la calidad de otros platos que ofertan en la carta, pero el cocido deja mucho que desear. La sopa es muy clara y sin sabor y el resto de ingredientes normalitos y se nota que no han cocido durante horas. Muy bien presentado todo, pero sin más. La fama le precede, pero se quedó en la nostalgia de un lugar bonito y típico de Madrid. La relación calidad precio es de 3 sobre 10.
