Hemos ido un domingo a comer, y debo de decir que me ha sorprendido para bien. La comida excelente, todo riquísimo. La atención del personal perfecta, de hecho fueron muy atentos conmigo y mi bebé, cuando no había donde cambiarle el pañal, y me pusieron una mesita con un mantel en el pasillo hacia las escaleras del baño. Y el ambiente es muy tranquilo, aún para estar completamente lleno el restaurante. Repetiremos segurísimo.

Comimos hace 2 semanas y nos encantó así que decidimos comer el 1/1/2026. Riquísimo! De primero pulpo y gamba de Huelva a la plancha. De segundo arroz con bogavante para 2 y rodaballo. Decididamente uno de nuestros sitios preferidos en la zona y muy recomendado

El restaurante es estupendo, la comida muy buena. Pedimos muchas raciones para compartir todas de pescado y estaban exquisitos. El rodaballo y la lubina en su punto, perfectos. Los camareros super amables y rapidos a pesar de que el restaurante estaba llenisimo

Food was great! Paella was nice to match with Sangria! ❤️

The arroz negro was some of the best food I’ve had in Madrid, comfortable atmosphere, and the owner is delightful! Very reasonably priced as well! Absolutely must have stop for dinner!!

Best seafood I’ve ever had, staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. If you’re looking for a dinner spot and craving seafood, I can’t recommend this enough.

We had a very pleasant experience at Restaurante Compostela. It’s a great place to enjoy traditional Galician cuisine made with good-quality ingredients and generous portions. The seafood and fish were fresh and well prepared, and the classic Galician dishes really hit the spot. It’s the kind of restaurant where you can enjoy honest food, familiar flavors, and a relaxed meal without complications. The atmosphere is welcoming and traditional, making it a comfortable place to sit back and enjoy your time. Overall, Compostela offers good value for money and is a solid choice if you’re craving Galician food in Madrid. A nice option for a casual lunch or dinner with friends or family — we’d happily come back. 😊🍽️

It was open on Christmas Day and was very close to our hotel so we ate here. Staff was very nice. Bread was warm, and food was good. The fish soup was tasty, and the Paella was very good. Lamb was a little overcooked.

Fantastic service and amazing food. Must experience!!

Found this restaurant across the street from our hotel. Had a delicious seafood paella that was very tasty. When you had the steak, how was it at the restaurant? Also ordered a steak that was very tasty.

Super kind and friendly service, food was delicious and you get a free tapa to your drink. Great 👍

Absolutely delicious and fresh seafood prepared so different to anything we have had at home! Service was attentive but unobtrusive and the owner very helpful with menu choices. Oh and the wine selection excellent and so inexpensive! Will be going again before we leave Madrid.

They have a simple menu with no photos and a basic list of dishes such as soups, salads, rices, alcohol, seafoods, and starters in Spanish, English, and Japanese but you can also personally go up to the staff and get coffee or dessert of some sort. The prices are decent especially for the service and enviornment as well. I had gotten the ‘Warm salad with seallop and king prawns’ alongside ‘Paella mariscos’ which were both nicely portioned and tasted pretty good. The waitress also asked ahead of time if we wanted the paella to be cut in thirds before serving us. They also bring you bread ahead of time but it’s €6.60. Overall, it was a nice experience and I recommend the place especially if you’re a tourist.

I have been to this place several times and have had the best food and the best attention every single time. The ambient is lively and the dishes are simply wonderful. If you are lucky you can get the careful service of Mr. Jaime Rodriguez Araujo, who can navigate you through the delicacies contained in the menu of this wonderful restaurant. Highly recommended. You will come back 😊

Two of us ordered two starters and the beef for 2. Very satisfied after the meal. The soup was the bit salty though but I like it overall.

We had a wonderful night with good food and wine. But, more than that, Senor Jaime's gentle hospitality!

Lovely nice people, excellent service and good food. We landed for a work trip in Madrid at 11 night on a Tuesday trying to find somewhere to have a proper dinner (rather than Burger king's suggestion by our hotel). We knew it was a challenge, but as my colleague said, "never give up". We were lucky to find this familiar place with delicious tapas. They were about to close, but agreed to have us while they were closing down. Thank you Compostela restaurant for your kindness and for saving us from the fast food option.

They are so nice!!! I only came to have a glass of wine or two and they kept giving me complimentary food!!! I was trying to save my appetite for dinner but I felt so bad to put the tortilla to waste! They gave me patatas bravas, tortillas and olives for just two glasses of wine! I would love to go back here and chill again.

Came very late, Jaime and Francisco were amazing welcoming and friendly. What they recommended on the menu was superb!!! What are great food and experience, people makes difference and they absolutely did it. The food was was scrumptious!!!! Thank you guys. Octopus the best We will come comeback.

We stepped in without any reservation. We had an amazing experience. The octopus was so soft and tender and the paella was perfect. (It’s a huge portion for more than 2 ) The waiter was very polite…

Fantastic service . Fantastic food. The grilled hake was to die for. We asked for anchovies instead of tuna for tomato salad- no anchovies but the smoked sardines were quite good… go!

Would not hesitate to drop in. Very good attentive service, food is well prepared and excellent tasting. One of beat if not beat paella ever tasted the cheese cake is to die for… ask for one pie…

Si tengo que recomendar un sitio increíble para comer en Madrid, sin duda pienso en Compostela. Su ubicación en plena calle Universidad es perfecta, porque llegar es fácil incluso cuando hay más tráfico. La carta tiene de todo, con platos que mezclan lo tradicional con toques de otras cocinas de España, y la verdad es que la relación calidad-precio es excelente; no es caro para lo bueno que es. El servicio es muy atento y pagar es sencillo, tanto si llevas efectivo como tarjeta. Eso sí, aconsejo reservar mesa antes para evitar quedarse sin sitio. El ambiente es tan acogedor, con terraza y una decoración que invita a quedarse horas, que lo hace ideal incluso para ir con niños. Cuando sales de allí, solo piensas en volver y en contárselo a todo el mundo. Si quieres hacerte una idea, en su Instagram suben fotos de los platos que te van a entrar ganas de probar ya.

Good seafood! Soup is so tasty. Sangria is a bit with gas and so good. Paella is so good! Only the position is really huge for me...

I should have realized when I saw Spanish and Japanese written at the entrance not to go in. I had to ask if it was indeed a Spanish restaurant. I was told that Japanese like to go there. Well, I …

Restaurante típico gallego en el barrio de arguelles para comer en familia. Ofrece variedad de platos de la tierra aunque esta última vez encontramos menos calidad en la comida y algunas raciones más pequeñas. El servicio fue correcto. Dispone de terraza.

Las croquetas de jamón de caseras no tenían nada. Estaban buenas, pero por ese precio te esperas unas caseras. Igual las de marisco, como anuncian en la carta, sí que lo son (no lo sé). Las zamburiñas estaban bastante buenas. Las he comido mucho mejores en otros sitios especializados, pero son aceptables y volvería a pedirlas. La ración de huevos rotos con jamón, como veis en las fotos, es muy, muy escasa. 4 patatas con dos huevos y 4 trozos de jamón. La tortilla está buena, la he pedido un par de veces y no decepciona. Eso sí, es una tortilla bastante finita y poco hecha. Hay que tenerlo en cuenta. Las albóndigas sí que estaban buenas, aunque estamos casi seguros de que tampoco eran caseras. La salsa era sabrosa y la cantidad era adecuada. Recomiendo probar las filloas. En general, este sitio no sería mi primera opción, ni mi segunda. Pero tampoco es como para no volver si alguna vez se da el caso.

Good food and great service, but being charged for “bread and butter” we didn’t order left a bad taste in our mouths, so dropped from a 5 to a 3 star review. It seems to be becoming normal that restaurants in Madrid try to take advantage of people and charge for things like bread, which they bring without you ordering it, so you assume it’s included. Three of us enjoyed a seafood platter, and dessert, and had a lovely evening. The food was fine (nothing amazing), drinks were good, and the dessert excellent. Staff were very attentive and friendly.

Not as good as expected. You can find better options at the same price near there

Cuando vimos el nombre de Compostela no lo pensamos, entramos y tachannnnn!!!!!! Vaya decepción!!!!! Pedimos empanadas ( no digan que son gallegas) decepcionantes. Los mejillones al vapor, enanos, pasados y no sabían a nada. Las croquetas (congeladas) otro fiasco. Los principales han sido Chipirones a la plancha ( yo los hago mucho mejor y no soy cocinero) con verduras tristes. Lo mejor el solomillo. No nos atrevimos a pedir nada de postre. Nos fuimos muy muy defraudados. No lo recomiendo. Ni vuelvo.

Hacia muchos años que no veníamos y ha sido una decepción. La carta mucho más escueta que antes, cortos en la oferta de marisco y una bajada en calidad y servicio muy grande. Pedimos unas gambas que primero trajeron crudas y después carbonizadas, un pulpo a la brasa insípido de no ser por el pimentón y con una patata harinosa. De segundo una paella que del color ya se ve que está hecha con muchos polvos artificiales y que de presencia y sabor es más digna de un comedor de otra clase, lo mismo con unas chuletillas de lechal, escasas en carne que carecían del sabor típico del cordero denotando su calidad. Incluso los postres, que pedimos una tarta de santiago y unos sorbetes de manzana defraudaron, ya no son ni caseros, todo viene preparado. Ha bajado incluso la calidad del servicio, con mala organización, personal nervioso y acelerado que en vez de organizarse se pisan y rompen vasos y platos. Desde luego muy lejos de lo que era y ni hablemos del precio por persona que es descabellado para la calidad del servicio y del producto.

Captains suggested $75.00 seafood component plate. We clearly stated Grilled, But brought us boiled. Questioned the captain, he said only the lobster is grilled, But there is no sign of grilled smell or tast, she'll was not grilled at all. Very dispointed.

Hoy he comido, con mi mujer y hermana, ha sido vergonzoso. Croquetas de marisco, una bechamel seca. Arroz con bogavante, bañado en aceite. Merluza Bilbaína, una rodaja ya de confianza, 1 cm de gorda y de bilbaína lo único los ajos y quemados, casi 30€ Es la primera vez y última que voy. Mi mujer no me ha dejado reclamar después de pagar, claro!!!! No ha sido nada de barato para lo mal que se ha comido. Si se hubiera comido bien el precio correcto. No lo recomiendo.

Tratan a la gente como ganado. Dia de navidad. Llamamos para reservar explícitamente diciendo que no nos pongan una mesa en la puerta. El dia 23 llama el restaurante para confirmar y volvemos a repetir que no sea en la puerta Cuando llegamos, la mesa está en la puerta. Con un dia de frio que no se puede estar. Hay que avisar a los clientes y no intentar aprovecharse. Nos hubiéramos ido a otro sitio, ahora no volveremos. Al ser navidad no tuvimos otra opción que quedarnos, pedir algo rápido y marcharnos. Además la mesa muy estrecha... y la comida no es nada del otro mundo ni mucho menos.
