Todo genial fuimos 8 personas, servicio rápido y eficiente, todo muy bueno , y gran variedad en la carta, las kokotxas de bacalao espectacular y el calamar que tenian fuera de carta ese día también, recomendado

Pasamos a tomar unas ostras que siempre nos han encantado con txacolí y tambien previamente tomamos unas cañas y pincho de montadito de melva con pimiento y uno de salmón con alcaparra y eneldo. Miramos la carta que nos ofreció una chica muy amable y profesional y como somos aficionados al tomate pedimos el tomate de caserío que es espectacular. Ademas aprendimos que se le da un escaldado para quitarle la piel y queda muy cremoso y sabroso. Cuando vamos a Madrid siempre vamos a tomar unas ostras, pero esta vez hemos descubierto el tomate con un buen aceite de oliva y pan de hogaza para pringar. Aparte de la chica los otros chicos nos atendieron muy bien mas alla de que se les olvidara la primera caña que pedimos.

Un sitio precioso. Pintxos, ostras y una copa de txakoli 😊 Diego nos atendió muy bien. Volveremos por supuesto.

I discovered Orio while studying abroad in Madrid a decade ago and still love dropping in whenever I am in town. I always go to the Basque pintxos bar at the bottom of the restaurant. The self-serve cold tapas are good, but be sure to ask about the hot tapas as well (they have croquettes and basque sausages (txistorra)). I always order the Txakoli wine (traditional Basque white wine), but the Basque sidra is also worth a try. At the end of your meal, they count up the toothpicks to determine how much you owe. It’s a great place for one or two people to be able to try a lot of different flavors for not too much money.

Santiago was so kind. He prepared our fish and took out the bones. Second time here and it’s better than even the first time. Will come again!

Really fresh ingredients, the wait staff is excited to explain and share the Basque culture. There is a printed menu, but the pintxos are so diverse and tasty, I never order from it. Plus, there is a rowboat hanging from the ceiling.

Staff were phenomenal, Very accommodating and gracious. All spoke English very well, and had menus in English, which was a bonus. Our waiter provided great food and wine recommendations. We shared a bottle of white wine and the turbot fish which was cooked to perfection. I had the steak tips for entree, which was a little over cooked (get it rare, how they recommend) but still great flavor. We also got a side of cooked tomatoes, which were very delicious. If you’re looking for a nice, authentic meal in Madrid, this is a great option.

Recommended by our concierge. Didn't disappoint us. It's a tapas bar with plenty variety plus regular menu. Everything was very tasty and the service was very nice and explained everything right on point!.

Ion Podaru

Rich variety of tapas that would melt in your mouth and a very friendly staff that makes feel welcomed. Our favorite tapas was the squid ink sausage.

We had a fantastic dining experience at Orio! The food was outstanding from start to finish. As fans of Basque cuisine, we were thrilled with the menu – and the sea bass truly stole the show. It was beautifully prepared and presented, with delicate flavors and a perfect texture – honestly the best I’ve ever had. The service was just as impressive. The staff were warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, helping us navigate the regional specialties and making great wine pairing suggestions. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, and we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout the meal.

Paola our server had a great personality. Attentive and aware. The food was delicious and plenty of it. Couldn't ask for more. Always a good thing when you leave full! Forgot to add the pintxos and tapas were fantastic 😍

Amazing Pinchos style restaurant, we went for lunch and it was amazing varieties of pinchos and drink. Also, you can order a la carte hot pinchos, fresh pinchos available at the bar. Fresh Oysters also available.

Mark Goodman

What great food and service. A very pleasant and professional restaurant. We liked the manager Killian personally and service.

Oana Tatu

A wonderful place. Three days in Madrid, and every day we made a stop here. The food is excellent, both from the menu and the tapas. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. If you’re in the area, don’t hesitate to try the delights of Orio!

Sylvia Tran

What a gem in Madrid! The service was excellent and spoke very good English too. Our favorite dish was the mussels. The suckling pig is also recommended. The portion is a bit small but it was so tasty. Very fun place to be at. You can grab your pinchos at the bar. Would come back if I visit Madrid again

Comida de 10, todo exquisito, las setas un poco escasas. La atención del personal muy buena, un poco lentos, pero buena. Lo peor sin duda, los aseos un sitio de este nivel y con estos precios deberían de tener a alguien limpiando los baños con frecuencia varias veces al día

Hemos tapeado en la barra y la verdad que todo muy bien. Buena atención (saben venderte el producto). Mucha variedad y calidad en los pinchos. Hemos pedido dos raciones (cuidado con el precio de las raciones fuera de carta), bien de calidad pero el precio muy desorbitado.

Nuestros anfitriones fueron Javier y Juan, muy amables y eficientes. Comimos en el salón superior, ambiente tranquilo y agradable. La comida fue una buena experiencia (cocochas, rabas, mejillones, puerros, etc). Buena opción si estás por la zona. Precio medio unos 50€ por persona, incluyendo botella de vino, pan, postres y café.

Yira Diaz

Great tapas "on stick" (pinchos), straight forward: every tapas comes with a toothpick and that's how they calculate how much you ate. Good variety of cold and hot tapas.

Fantastic food, with all the flavors and many classics from the Basque region! If only the atmosphere and service were a bit better I would have given it a 5*, no doubt. However, the food is really nice and the rice pudding was one of the best I’ve ever had in a restaurant!

Restaurante muy céntrico, posee barra, mesas altas y salón. Observó que los clientes lo usan mucho como lugar de tapeo ya que la especialidad son los pinchos algo variados pero escasos, van saliendo poco a poco no como estamos acostumbrados a verlos en las barras vascas. Calidad normal pero los precios altos no se corresponde la calidad-precio. Lo peor es el volumen de conversación de algunos clientes "a gritos" insistimos varias veces en la incomodidad pero no lo solucionaron. Imposible aparcamiento y el acceso para sillas de ruedas solo para barra ya que el salón se encuentra en planta primera. No recomiendo para niñ@s. Vegan@s y celiac@s no recomiendo nada.

Fuimos anoche día 2 de febrero 2026 a cenar en la segunda planta, éramos solo dos mesas y había un solo camarero. El metre venía a veces y era muy atento. El camarero nos atendió muy mal porque no estaba pendiente de las mesas y cuando le llamabas no te oía ni te hacía caso. Nos traía las fuentes con comida sin cubiertos para servir y tardabas minutos en conseguir que te hiciese caso y los trajera, ni se disculpaba… La comida muy buena como siempre, pero el servicio francamente malo.

The restaurant which has a nice ambiance is small. It has a few seats in addition to bar seating. specializes in the food from Northern Span and have an array of tapas on display that one can help oneself to. We ordered the crispy suckling pig which was fine and the cod which was quite salty and disappointing. Also overall the prices were high for the quantities on offer.

Charlene Rolls

Lovely tapas place but it gets quite packed so you might end up at the bar with people thing over you for tapas. The food was yum but lots of the cold ones on display was a mystery (would it be chicken or fish?!). Hot ones brought out by waiters so you can ask at least. They count the sticks to see what you owe so easy slowly if you don't want to end up with a pile that can cost plenty.

Mi experiencia en este restaurante ha sido profundamente decepcionante, especialmente teniendo en cuenta el precio elevado de la comida. Pedimos una txuleta de vaca vieja que tuvieron que llevarse dos veces porque llegó fría en ambas ocasiones. Y así la comimos Es inadmisible que un plato de ese precio y categoría llegue en esas condiciones, y más aún que se repita el mismo fallo. Además, mientras esperábamos, pedimos un café solo y un café con leche. El café con leche llegó helado, repitiéndose nuevamente el mismo patrón de comida o bebida servida sin la temperatura adecuada. Decidí comentar la situación al encargado. Su única solución fue descontarnos la tarta de queso, algo que agradezco, pero que no considero una respuesta suficiente ante todos los fallos acumulados. No busco que me regalen un postre; busco que la comida salga como debe salir, especialmente en un restaurante donde la cuenta supera los 100 € por dos personas. La atención del personal fue correcta, pero eso no compensa el hecho de que los platos principales y bebidas llegaran fríos, algo totalmente inaceptable en un establecimiento de este nivel. Me marcho con la sensación de que ha sido una tomadura de pelo, y desde luego no corresponde con lo que se espera por el precio que se paga. No repetiré, y ojalá tomen medidas para mejorar, porque la calidad de la comida no era mala, pero el servicio en cuanto a temperatura y control de cocina ha fallado estrepitosamente

Una hora para una ración que nunca llegó. Al final pedimos la cuenta y nos fuimos a otro sitio. Precios desorbitados por unos pinchos que en cualquier otro lugar te los ponen de aperitivo. La bebida por las nubes también. Una caña doble 5,50€. No volvemos.

PS Tan

This place is definitely and seriously over rated. Beware tourists! The sourdough of small quantity was chargeable at €3.20 per person even though we didn’t order it. This was totally unacceptable and considered a rip-off. Cava sparkling wine was on the house as a welcome drink. Food was ok for the tuna salad and croquettes with ham; but for the matured beef it was hard and chewy. We paid €45.60 for the beef. We felt scammed. Staff was friendly. Would I recommend this place? NO. There are many better alternatives.
