El pasado 18 de Febrero fuimos a comer mi mujer y yo para celebrar su cumpleaños. Aunque somos viejos clientes de esta casa y conocemos su buen hacer, tengo que mostrar mi especial satisfaccion por la extraordinaria calidad del marisco que degustamos(gambas, camarones, una estupenda centolla y unas ricas necoras) . La preparación, estuvo a cargo de un profesional excepcional, ya veterano en esta casa, Juan Carlos, que nos preparó el marisco maravillosamente presentado y listo para degustar comodamente. Adjunto unas fotos y hasta la proxima.!

Una calidad y un servicio excepcional, pero poner un pero los baños hay que limpiarlos más a menudo, muy sucios y llenos de papel y restos por el suelo. Parece mentira que sea un sitio tan bueno y no pongan atención a este aspecto. Gerardo tienes que ponerles las pilas para que los limpien más a menudo.

Is this place awesome?, yes!!!! Actually, the next thing above. Is that good. If you are visiting Madrid and want a dinning experience above and beyond all you have known in your life, you must come to this place. The food is wonderful, so much so that this place is in the famous Michelin guide for 2024. The attention is superb and the ambient awesome. This is the place to visit wether you are a tourist looking for the best of Madrid or a local in search of a great place to conduct business or bring your loved ones. This place is to remember.

Excellent seafood restaurant in the heart of the Goya area of Salamanca, in Madrid. Everything is beyond fresh, top quality, the atmosphere is great and the service is also excellent. I highly recommend it if you are in the mood for some delicious seafood. It is pricey but totally worth it!!

Super Paella! Nice place to taste paella in downtown Madrid. Great choice of wine. I’d really appreciate.

Amy Thomas

Great food in a great atmosphere. Juan Carlos cuts the ham better than anyone. His plates are authentic works of art.

Alberto Montes

I make it a point to eat here every time I'm in Madrid. The seafood selection is always fresh, and the specials are fantastic. It's one of the only places open between lunch and dinner time. Usually packed but service is very good.

Excellent seafood & service in a beautiful setting. I had some braised octopus and then grilled monkfish. Flan for dessert with pear ice cream. All were outstanding. Very attentive wait staff. Recommend.

Reel Veew

Very nice restaurant with quality seafood products. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff that patiently helped us with options for the kids as well. Would definitely recommend for seafood lovers. (We didn't try the meat options so can't say much about that).

Sean Langer

Very friendly service. Very nice food.

Great food served in a great atmosphere (ate inside) excellent service and decent pricing for the product you get. I believe it is a chain of restaurants but it does feel like it is a unique and this in particular is large and elegant as if it only was the only one in Madrid. I would come back once a week to eat here if I lived in Madrid. They have a good selection of wines by the glass and food specially sea food (as they also have land dishes) is very fresh. Do not hesitate to try it.

Superb fish restaurant. Must try the salt baked sea bass. So buttery and delicious. Service was excellent even during the busiest time during the champions League final. Starters such as the braised octopus, anchovies and tomato salad were superb. Male sure you ask for extra crusty bread

Jeff Auerbach

I can’t say enough great things about Gran Barril. The service was excellent! The food presentation was perfect! Aroz caldoso lobster was an incredible dish. The pulpo was the best I’ve ever had. I recommend that anyone traveling to Madrid spend at least one meal here. You’ll love it! Our server René was super. He did a great job explaining all the different dishes and made us feel at home.

Great service and really delicious food. The samburiña dish was exquisite.

Enrique Sotomayor

Ome of the finest an more elegant restaurants in Madrid. Served as the good old days and manage very well. Product is fresh (specially fresh), raciones are ok and variety awesome. Alcachofas is a must. The ensaladilla is lubina made. Not cheap.

Fuimos a cenar el viernes pasado a las 21:00h , porque había degustación de mejillones de la ría , cuando llegamos estaba publicitado en el escaparate y al sentarnos pedimos bebidas y nos dieron la carta , fue cuando fuimos a pedir cuando nos dijeron que no había mejillones, si ofertan una degustación y por los motivos que sea se quedan sin existencias , que mínimo que quiten la publicidad del escápate y lo adviertan antes de pedir . Pedimos atún , merluza , calamares y callos , todo muy rico

Todo un clásico para comer y disfrutar del mar en la mesa, gambas a la plancha,pulpo con cachelos, merluza y tataki de atún… todo delicioso. Para acompañar recomiendo un verdejo bien fresquito, José Pariente, a un precio más que razonable.

New Year’s Eve dinner at El Gran Barril was disappointing. While the food was very good and the seafood fresh, the service was rushed from start to finish and became outright rude by the end of the meal. On New Year’s Eve, you expect friendly, respectful service and a celebratory atmosphere this was completely lacking. For a restaurant of this reputation, the experience was unacceptable. Wouldn’t go back at all and would not recommend, especially for special occasions.

Nice place. I had the tuna. Very good but not sushi grade.

Adriana Perez

I thought the food was good but a little pricey. Good service as the staff was always attentive. I love their bread variety and the way they present the food. The place was a bit loud and crammed. Overall a good experience.

Samantha cruz

Lovely place to have lunch or dinner ! I sat on the terrace for lunch. We were a group of 4 people. We ordered anchoas with tomates and large red shrimps to start. The shrimp was delicious and juicy. I would definitely recommend ordering it. Then for our main plates we ordered a fideuá and a fish of the day. We paired our meal with a bottle of white wine- Verdejo. Everything was delicious ! Oh we also ordered dessert ! A crepe and tiramisu. I would recommend trying this place out if you haven’t.

Fuimos dos personas. Hemos pedido unas ostras , de muy buena calidad. Despues uñas zamburiñas al albariño, excepcional la salsa. De ultimo una carne, problema, 72 euros y la calidad bajísima, estaba al punto, pero carbonizada en el exterior que anulaba todo el sabor, aunque repito , la calidad no era lo esperado para nada, ni la presentación, tenia pinta de una chuleta de menu o entrecot de baja calidad. El servicio es muy bueno, muy amable , pero no cuida detalles. No soy de dejar comentarios negativos, pero como siempre miro las reseñas, en este caso me gustaria plasmarlo.

Jose Fernandez

Great restaurant if you are a party of 6 or more.

Rice was regular, needed more flavors, fish was great but service was very dissatisfied for us. We had to wait 30 minutes for dessert and had to cancel them.

La calidad de los productos es realmente buena pero es verdad que pedimos unas copas de vino y como aperitivo nos pusieron una ración de camarón gallego cobrándonos 53€ sin haberlo pedido nosotros porque la camarera no se enteró. Pensando que era un aperitivo nos los comimos y lo reclamamos porque salía en la cuenta y al haberlo comido nos lo cobraron igual así que eso es de hacerlo mirar.

Recomiendo al personal del restaurante aprendan a tratar a los clientes como sus hermanos del Barril de enfrente. Sábado 27 dos personas 12.45 pedimos si nos podemos sentar a tomar unas raciones en una mesa viene una señorita y nos cambia a una mesa de dos y cuando nos vamos a sentar otra señorita nos dice que está todo reservado que tenemos que ir a unas banquetas. 12:45 absolutamente nadie en el restaurante. El Barril de siempre cerrado. Allí el trato a los clientes es de otro nivel. No sé la comida porque nos fuimos.

Mi familia y yo salimos del restaurante con sensación de haber sido engañados. En la carta figuraban dos pescados a la sal con precios distintos (52€ vs 82€ para dos personas), sin una diferenciación clara. Al pedirlo, en ningún momento se nos explicó que estábamos solicitando el pescado “salvaje”, y solo lo descubrimos al recibir la cuenta. Cuando existe ambigüedad en la carta —y más aún cuando se indica que el pescado puede variar según el día—, es responsabilidad del restaurante informar claramente al cliente antes de servir. Tras comentarlo con el maitre, no hubo ningún intento de revisar la situación ni de que nos marcháramos satisfechos. Incluso se llegó a insinuar que deberíamos saber si el lenguado es o no de temporada, algo poco razonable para un cliente. No es un problema de importe, sino de honestidad, transparencia y experiencia de cliente. Muy decepcionante.

Somos clientes asiduos del grupo Oter desde hace muchos años y siempre acudimos a sus locales: El Barril de Orense, El Barril de Goya, El nuevo Gayarre y El Gran Barril de Goya y el de Castellana. La atención y el servicio ha sido hasta ahora estupenda excepto hoy que hemos quedado desencantadas con el Gran Barril de Goya, calle Goya 107, por el pésimo trato de su metre Luis. Acudimos a una hora temprana (las 13.30) para almorzar a la carta, pero queríamos algo rápido, pues debíamos volver al trabajo, por lo que optamos por las mesas altas, pero estando todo el local vacío y todas las mesas altas de banquetas vacías, el metre nos obligaba a sentarnos en una mesa al fondo. Tampoco nos permitió sentarnos en la sala, pues según él al preguntarnos qué íbamos a comer, si pedíamos anchoas del Cantábrico con tomate (el plato cuesta 23€) y boquerones a la andaluza, (ambos platos de la carta de sala) y después pensábamos tomar rápidamente- pues teníamos mucha prisa- algo de marisco con un buen vino, nuestro sitio era o la barra o la mesa de taburetes del fondo. Evidentemente, entiendo que, si fuéramos a tomar solo un pincho y una caña, el sitio es la barra, pero no era el caso puesto que elegíamos platos de la carta. Lo peor la respuesta del Sr. Luis que no nos ha dado ninguna opción, pues todo el restaurante según él estaba reservado. El trato recibido ha sido pésimo y se lo hemos hecho saber. Lógicamente nos hemos marchado disgustadas y hemos ido a almorzar enfrente, al Barril de Goya, calle Goya 86, donde hemos disfrutado de la excelente atención de Pedro Luengo, su metre que por supuesto está siempre a la altura de lo que es el grupo Oter y la línea que D. Gerardo imprime en todos sus locales. Una vez terminado el almuerzo, volvimos al Gran Barril y pasadas las tres de la tarde comprobamos que había muchas mesas libres en la sala y también en las de banquetas. Hablamos con el metre Luis y le reprochamos su comportamiento requiriendo el libro de reclamaciones que no nos dio contestando de forma maleducada que para ello teníamos que consumir y de muy malas maneras se marchó dándonos la espalda. Hablamos con el otro metre, Jonathan que se disculpó muy amablemente por el trato recibido y nos pidió que por favor volviéramos en otra ocasión. Añadimos foto que hemos tomado a las 15 horas y la mesa que solicitábamos seguía vacía. Por ello queríamos dejar constancia que estos incidentes ocasionan mal gusto en los clientes que siempre confiamos tanto para eventos personales como profesionales en restaurantes Oter y más aún cuando todos sabemos que “cliente mal atendido, es cliente que no vuelve”, sobre todo en estos tiempos en los que la competencia en restauración es muy grande. Siempre dábamos puntuación máxima a sus locales, pero en este caso, sinceramente es un suspenso y creemos que se debe dejar constancia de que no vamos a una taberna de barrio, sino a un buen restaurante para pasar un buen rato y disfrutar de almuerzos o cenas con excelentes viandas, servicio a la altura y al menos un trato correcto y no tan desagradable y maleducado como hemos tenido en el día de hoy.

PATETICO, PÉSIMA CALIDAD, ADEMÁS, de haber subido los precios!!! Venir aquí en mi familia era un clásico, hace años era una pasada el producto que tenían y la atención EXCEPCIONAL. Las últimas veces que hemos venido han confirmado mi “NO” rotundo a volver a venir. Hemos pedido un lenguado (90€) que estaba arenoso Un lomo bajo, seco, duro, difícil de masticar, PATETICO. Por no hablar de la guarnición (adjunto foto), dos patatas del tamaño de dos aceitunas y un pimiento.
