Excelente restaurante de gestión familiar, donde uno se siente como en casa. Buenas verduras, carnes, pescados, postres y bodega. Local amplio y cómodo. Inmejorable atención por parte de dueños y empleados. Precios atractivos. Un clásico que no falla. Absolutamente recomendable.

Northern Spanish cuisine is served at this charming old world establishment. I adore the restaurant's setting, which is quite traditional. The cuisine was great, the service fantastic. The waiters went out of their way to find out what you wanted. They also gave you options. Highly recommended.

After a week in Madrid and interacting with servers who could care less about smiling and customer service, Zerain was a pleasant surprise; servers were patient, made eye contact, and actually smiled when talking to us. We went for dinner, stayed until the restaurant closed. There was live piano in the background which Was great for ambiance. Food was great—- ordered the steak (somorillo), asparagus, artichoke, and baked apple. Would go back!!

Our party of 3 had a fantastic dinner. We made a reservation via Google. The restaurant was not crowded for our Friday night at 8:30 PM reservation. The traditional, basque vibe was very enjoyable. The food was delicious and service attentive. The only change I would make is softer lighting. That said, we would gladly dine here again.

Amazing Chuleton steak! 800 grams for two. Also loved the boletus mushrooms and artichokes as starters. Very friendly service. Make sure to reserve a table.

Everything we had was absolutely delicious and excellently made, but the txuleton was true perfection. It's the tastiest, most tender beef I've ever had. The doneness was absolutely perfect.

Perfect, fantastic, everything was absolutely perfect, the food is amazing!

Having dinner at the Zerain makes you not only enter the Basque Country, but also go back in time, back to the childhood of Adelaida who founded in the 1997 with her son Koldo this restaurant to bring to Madrid the typical flavours of her Country. You will se her looking after you and taking care of you during the meal as a mother does with her children for whom she has cooked a special dish. While there ask for suggestions to Koldo or one of the gentle waiters and you won't regret! All your senses will sparkle and enjoy the experience. You won't forget any taste you try

Very friendly staff! I ordered the chuletón for 2 and a bottle of Txakoli. I really enjoyed my dinner here. The meat was delicious and cooked perfect. The Txakoli was apparently a classic bottle that you can find easily in the Basque Country. I would definitely recommend trying this cute restaurant out. I got lucky and managed to get a spot on the terrace !

Visited the restaurant by chance about 19.30. Warm welcome. Menu in English, friendly English speaking service. Nicely presented dishes. Main courses that we chose were sea bass and sirloin medallion…

Este restaurante Vasco lleva en Madrid 28 años abierto. Hasta hoy mantiene una línea de restauración fiel a esa cocina y sigue con mucha gente. Por algo será. Particularmente , a lo largo de los años, lo visito por volver a probar especialmente la tortilla de bacalao y los chuletones a la brasa . Esta vez optamos como segundos por el bacalao a la vizcaína y a la brasa. Estupendos. La chistorra de entrada y el tomate como primero riquísimos. La estructura y personalidad del local, madera, hierro y ladrillo visto, invita a degustar la comida tradicional vasca con parsimonia, tranquilamente. El precio es razonable. Dentro de lo que se espera de un restaurante de calidad. El personal súper agradable. Y la dueña, una señora de edad, se mantiene al pie del cañón y educadisima saluda al final de la estancia. Se ubica en una zona bellísima de Madrid, en el barrio de las letras, ideal para pasear. Seguiré visitando este lugar.

Local sobrio, con empaque, sólido. Cenamos tortilla de bacalao, espárragos trigueros, cogote de merluza, chipirones a la plancha y medallones de solomillo; todo excelente. Atención exquisita, incluso música al piano en directo. Mientras esperas, te ponen una ración de chistorra gratis; también, a los postres, te ofrecen chupitos

Me ha parecido un buen sitio. La atención es esmerada y el ambiente, agradable. Tanto el bacalao como la tortilla de bacalao estaban buenísimos. Me gustó mucho el arroz con leche. No pongo 5 * porque encontré duros los chipirones y las raciones de postre (goxúa y pantxineta) me parecieron pequeñas.

The food and service were good and fairly priced. I thought they would have a better selection of meats being a basque restaurant however the medallones de solomillo were tasty and well prepared. I do agree with other reviewers that the lighting could be dimmed a little.

This is a classy basque style restaurant with traditional decor located in Heurtas neighborhood. It was my first meal in Madrid with my Madrid’s family upon my arrival and the service was wonderful. There was a nice soft music played by a pianist enhancing Zerain’s old school’s charming vibe. Their Iberico ham was moist and rich in flavor with deep ruby color, which melted in our mouth! We also love their fresh baked cod (moist and fresh)! Of course, a bottle of Rioja wine complemented the meal perfectly with my lovely family. I love it so much that I took my friend to this establishment when she arrived in Madrid like the next day 😊

Delicious! Perfectly executed meat and fish, though a bit pricey. I wish I tried the cider

Acudí a este restaurante, por la cena de empresa en este caso escogimos la opción del menú de 55. El cual incluye un aperitivo, una txistorra que en mi caso es lo que más me gustó de la cena. Empezare con los entrantes, lo primero que nos sirvieron fue el lomo ibérico de bellota, o eso se supone, para mi gusto dudoso de bellota, continuando con los pimientos que tocamos a dos por persona, los cuales muy pequeños, seguido de dos croquetas que aunque estaba muy suave la bechamel eche en falta más potencia del jamón, seguido de una tortilla de bacalao, la cual muy buena la idea de servir a cada comensal su porción, pero me supo mucho más a huevo que a bacalao. De plato principal en mi caso el entrecot, el cual pedí si podía venir acompañado de ensalada, algo que nunca llegó a la mesa. Respecto a este, el punto perfecto, pero estaba bastante duro en su mayoría, de sabor tampoco es que me entusiasmara. Para finalizar con la panxineta, que se podría esperar mucho más. Con todo ello, me parece abusivo el precio que se paga por lo que se encuentra uno en el estómago. El trato muy amable, correcto y rápido. Pero el detalle de invitar a una copa o un refresco de más por la cuenta que dejamos en el sitio no hubiera estado de más. Por último el restaurante es bastante amplio, limpio aunque un par más de aseos para toda la cantidad de comensales se echa en falta. Espero que el restaurante se tome esto como una crítica constructiva, debido a las mejores opciones que hay por la zona y vuelva a lo que me contaron que un día fue.

Gran desilusión en todos los aspectos. Es la primera vez en mi vida que voy a una sidrería vasca y salgo decepcionado. Comida sosa, tortilla de bacalao seca y con presencia casi anecdótica del bacalao, y el chuletón, que por el ancho parecía una chuletilla. El remate fue cuando pedí sal y me trajeron un salero con sal fina. El servicio, sin ser desagradable, nos tomó como una mesa inesperada y de relleno. Para mí, primera y última.

Es muy triste cuando has comido bien (los 2 pedimos bacalao al horno y a la donostiarra, y estaba bueno pero tampoco para tirar cohetes), el encargado parecía muy amable y encantador, y de repente darse cuenta cuando nos íbamos que habían ofrecido licores a todo las mesas excepto a nosotros. Desconozco el motivo pero resultó ser una experiencia tan desagradable que no pensamos volver. Humillaciones las justas. Esto jamás debería de pasar.

The place was loud and the food was pretty mediocre, especially considering how much it cost. The restaurant's fine and the staff was nice but I wouldn't recommend it.

We were dining at 7.30 so quite early and therefore next to no-one else there. Main issue is we ordered the whole baked Turbot, the fresh fish shown to us looked great, but once "cooked" the staff gathered at a nearby table which seemed to be a training exercise in how to fillet and present such a fish. This was disappointing as we wanted to take the flesh off the bone ourselves. Anyway after some time, the dishes were presented to my wife and I. Unfortunately despite all the attention, part of the fish was clearly not cooked. We let them know, they apologized, took them away and brought them back some 15 minutes later. It was just barely properly cooked but we ate most of it. By this time our appetite was off. The owner appeared and through a translator appeared to make the case that it was like rare meat, but cooking whole fish is not at all like cooking beef. Sorry for the long story. We were charged 86 euro for the fish dish alone.I certainly will not return and suggest you avoid.

Ayer 29 de Noviembre, estuvimos 13 personas comiendo, menú N°1 55€/persona. Lomo totalmente seco, Entrecot duro y de calidad pésima, postre que no sabía a nada. Bacalao insípido. Un sitio para no volver jamás. Creo que para ese precio podían ofrecer un poco más de calidad y servicio. Camareros con prisa y poco profesionales.

This place had its prime. It's like the owners (bless their souls) handed some people from the street their family recipes and put them in the kitchen. With simple ingredients, you need to be a good chef. These guys aren't. Overpriced rustic food. There are plenty of better options.

I ate at the restaurant across the street which was excellent. Then I saw that this place had a Michelin star and I thought "oh, this could be even better." Boy was I wrong. I've had better food in…

Una cena entrañable, atención y comida excelente, como siempre,acompañado con un solo al piano........que nos sorprendío gratamente. Muchas gracias, al personal y a la dueña, super atenta cómo siempre. Siempre que venimos a Madrid es visita obligatoria. Hasta la próxima. Gracias.

Muy decepcionante la verdad, después de mucho tiempo vuelvo a un restaurante que ni se asoma a lo que era, increible que nos hagan pagar 11€ por cuatro chuscos de pan que ni te preguntan si los quieres, ya te lo encuentras en la mesa. Precios abusivos, 11€ un combinado de ron, joder, ni en una discoteca. He de decir que el sevicio genial y la comida también, pero hay detalles que hacen que no vuelvas a un sitio mitico. En fin siempre les quedarán los turistas....
