Soy El Isma

“The Heart on Board” It all started with my friend Edu, the bartender at El Bar La Frontera, a refuge where I often go to let my soul breathe a little more slowly. It was he who told me about Pepe Lu, one of the heads of the dining room at El Barco de Aparicio, in Pozuelo de Alarcón. We went together for the first time, and although I was the one buying, Edu—as a server with a noble soul—couldn't resist serving me himself. And he cleaned me one of the best turbot I've ever eaten, accompanied by wonderful anchovies and red and white prawns that seemed to have been brought from Denia, although I was told they came from Garrucha. I liked it so much that I went back alone the next day. Because there are pleasures that one should experience in silence, with the gratitude of savoring life. That time I let myself go, and I let myself come. I was served by Gerard and Marlene. Carmen, the owner, and Pepelu in the background let the magic shine. Because they know, as I do, after ten years of gastronomic and oenological studies, that there is no better food and drink than that enjoyed with friends or prepared with love. I ordered Galician crayfish, one boiled and two grilled, along with two tartars: one wild salmon and one tuna. I accompanied them with French and Galician oysters, and those extra-large razor clams that are almost a hug. They told me it was a lot of food, but it seemed too little for so much love. The head chef (Salam aleikum) granted my wish to combine surun tartar with smoked butter prepared with love. And at El Barco de Aparicio, you don't just eat: you live. From the youngest waiter to the head chef (As-salaamu alaikum) everyone serves with a sense of truth. To them, I dedicate a phrase that I hold as my credo: "There is no better wine than the one you drink with a friend, nor a better dish than the one recommended by someone who loves you." Thank you, Pepe. Thank you, Edu. Thank you, Marlene. Thank you, Gerard, clone of Yamine Yamal. Thank you for reminding me that cooking can make you a better person. And that on this boat, in addition to good produce, there is humanity, respect, and skill. I recommend coming, experiencing, and tasting. Because here, you don't just eat: you remember.

A real find. We arrived without a reservation, were served immediately, and were very kindly seated on the terrace. The food was exquisite, the price was excellent, and the plates were generous. We'll be back!

An incredible culinary experience, tasting so many dishes of unbeatable quality. I highly recommend trying the rice of the day, the white shrimp, scallops, and fried sea bass!!! A true delicacy!!! We will definitely return.

Great seafood restaurant in Pozuelo, I’ve been to a few in different Spanish cities and this is definitely one of the best… Great amount of options, and everything is perfect! Recommend the zamburiñas, the chipirones a la plancha and the rodaballo. But everything else was also super good! Cost was less than 45€ per person including a glass of wine and shared desserts. Great place!

In my opinion, one of the best seafood restaurants in Madrid. The quality of the seafood is excellent. It surprises and delights you to savor the product, which is also expertly cooked. Top-quality traditional cuisine. And if you pair it with a good wine, it becomes a true delight for your palate.

I've been there several times. This time it was Friday night, and three of us were there for a meal, this time four portions to share. We ordered clams a la marinera, calamari a la Andalucia, hake tacos, and grilled baby squid. All four were really good, flavorful, and beautifully presented. A highly recommended place to visit in Pozuelo; it's usually a sure bet.

Delicious seafood and great variety on the menu. My favourite being the zamburiñas. I love the ambience and it’s always busy so best to reserve. Have been back many times.

After my review 5 months ago (that I keep below, I went again because the restaurant is in front of my house..) and I had to change my mind completely. If someone is doing something great, you need to be honest and recognize it.. and that’s what they did this time!! They treated me super well, fantastic food, attention and super good atmosphere. I am adding the pictures.. great job guys!!! Never again.. stuff was bad.. asked everything 3 times even when there were few people in the restaurant.. i was waiting long time even to pay.. quality food below average for the ‘raciones’.. poor fries quality… good instead was the fish with caramello ed onion that I took. Quality /price ratio.. low

My favorite restaurant in Pozuelo Estacion. Not cheap, so we save it for special occasions. The food, service, location and overall vibe are great. Very, very friendly service and they treat you like you are a member of the neighborhood. Fantastic seafood fun Pozuelo dining!

Casper Bekker

Great food and great service. Arguably one of the best seafood places in Madrid. The Zamboriñas come very highly recommended. Try them!!

Federico Quintero

Fully agree

Nos gustaron mucho las croquetas y las zamburiñas. En el local se está a gusto, sobre todo en la terraza. Nos tardaron bastante en servir, por eso no le pongo cinco estrellas. Pero es muy buen sitio para comer por la zona

Pagas lo que comes y el pescado está al precio que está. Te orientan bien a la hora de elegir. Ojo,reserva y se claro en la hora, fallan en un tema... es difícil que la gente salga de comer a una hora concreta porque estás pagando un buen precio y quieres disfrutas del momento. No lo forceis, el pago de algo caro y de calidad conlleva tiempo no es un menú del día.

Nice place to go in summer. Plenty room alfresco. Good food and very nice staff

Todo muy rico y de mucha calidad , el pescao bueno y buena preparación, las almenas exquisitas a precio acorde con la zona, no es barato .

Taberna marinera en Pozuelo de Alarcón, muy popular y concurrida, con terraza en verano y en invierno dos zonas diferenciadas, una de bar con mesas altas y un comedor al uso. En fin de semana es probable que te asignen mesa con hora de salida, ya que aunque no lo hacen de forma explícita, doblan turnos (con las tensiones que esto genera). La llegada ya es incómoda precisamente porque tienen que cuadrar “dónde te sientan” en función de la hora de llegada de los que vienen detrás. La señorita que te recibe y se ocupa precisamente de esto, es de todo menos simpática. Es la primera cara que te atiende y no es la mejor carta de presentación. Nos ofreció una mesa literalmente en la puerta diciéndonos que de esa “no nos teníamos que levantar”, algo que no me extraña porque esa mesa no la quiere nadie. Cuando la rechazamos y elegimos otra mesa de dos (estaban todas libres, fuimos los primeros en llegar) nos dijo que no, que esa mesa estaba “pedida”. Estuvimos pendientes y esa mesa no se ocupó hasta una hora más tarde, que era precisamente nuestra hora de salida. Finalmente nos acomodó en una mesa para 5 personas, insistiendo en que teníamos que dejarla a la hora indicada. En resumen, falla la atención y sobre todo la gestión de las mesas. Da la sensación que importa más la facturación que los clientes. El lugar es muy ruidoso, apenas se puede conversar en un tono normal. El producto es fresco, como no puede ser de otra forma teniendo además pescadería propia en Pozuelo. El orden de llegada de los platos a la mesa es bastante “sui generis” intercalando fríos y calientes, fritos y cocidos… La experiencia no fue buena precisamente por la atención inicial y lo incómodo del local. Hemos almorzado a diario en el comedor principal y la experiencia mejora.

The restaurant's terrace is truly beautiful, ideal for enjoying dinner al fresco. The food was also a pleasant surprise: tasty, beautifully presented, and excellent value for money. However, the experience was marred by the unprofessional attitude of one of the waitresses, Marlem. Her treatment of the diners was at times dismissive and distant, which contrasted sharply with the restaurant's welcoming atmosphere. Furthermore, she repeatedly made negative comments about her colleague Diego, attributing to him mistakes that, in reality, seemed to be his own. This was in stark contrast to Diego, who was kind, attentive at all times, and displayed exemplary service, making sure we had everything we needed.

Producto normal para el precio que tiene. El servicio pésimo. Pedimos gamba roja, camarón, anchoa, mejillones, berberecho, Gilda. El camarón era de hacía tres días que sabía a agua. La gamba, el meji…

Pues simplemente mal, encargamos un arroz meloso de marisco y no saben hacerlo, nos trajeron un arroz que parecía una sopa nos quejamos y lo que hacen es llevárselo y quitarle sencillamente el…

Descubrí este restaurante hace seis meses y desde entonces e ido varias veces por la relación comida precio, pero hoy han tenido un detalle que me hace no volver al barco de Aparicio. Reservamos para seis personas, de mi familia íbamos tres y otra familia amiga iban otros tres. En el último momento nuestros amigos no han podido asistir a la comida por lo que hemos ido solo tres. Al llegar allí nos hemos disculpado ante la situación. Después de comer, al pedir la cuenta nos han cargado seis panes, al decirles que se habían equivocado que solo hemos comido tres panes la respuesta de la camarera ha sido ¿No habéis reservado para seis? Ya no es el dinero que creo eran dos euros por pan, pero me parece un detalle muy feo ya que yo no tengo la culpa, estas cosas pasan así que decirle al dueño que han perdido unos clientes. Esto nunca me había pasado. Una pena pero si me tratan así no volveré.
