This place was awesome. The food was delicious. The only thing better than the food was the service. We sat downstairs and our server was Maria. She was helpful and friendly. She made our experience even more enjoyable. Suggestion: Make a reservation early and if possible, sit on the main floor or outside. I only say that because in the bottom level the internet is almost nonexistent. We had to walk up the stairs to get a signal. But... they will give you a physical menu if you ask for one. Great place overall. I wouldn't mind coming here again. Thanks Maria

Incredible service by Francisco! The food was amazing, we tried the seafood paella and the octopus with mashed potatoes. Their cheesecake is to die for. Thank you for the wonderful experience! We also received complimentary sweets 🍫

Our best meal in Madrid was at La Taberna de Peñalver, a memorable dining experience, where traditional Spanish flavors simmered through every dish. The vegetable paella was a generous portion for 2, showcasing fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. The giant prawns were my favorite ; succulent, flavorful, with freshly sautéed garlic and olive oil expertly prepared. The grilled Iberian secret delivered smoky notes and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Service was excellent. The main downside was bread that was not fresh and a louder than appreciated atmosphere. Still if you want a bit more of an upscale setting, it ‘s an ideal spot to enjoy authentic Spanish cuisine with a touch of refinement.

Even though we visited at an awkward time due to our flight schedule, we were warmly welcomed and offered a lovely outdoor table. Most importantly, the food exceeded our expectations. All the dishes looked delicious, and it was a pity we couldn’t try more due to time constraints. The sangria was refined and refreshing as well. Overall, a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this place.
