Poco puedo añadir sobre lo que las reseñas anteriores han dicho. Las croquetas de jamón son un espectáculo, muy recomendable probarlas. Mi pareja y yo hemos comido en el restaurante,planta baja. El ambiente es genial, relajado y con un nivel de detalle muy cuidado. El personal de sala es amable y cercano. La cocina es un lujo. Nos ha encantado, y por supuesto, esperamos volver

Trully an amazing experience worth their hard work to earn the Michelin star! An exceptional food experience, intricately designed and very seasonal oriented. Make it a stop on your journey for a great and unique experience. Only small mention that the wine pairing could get some improvements.

We had the pleasure to celebrate my wife birthday at Santerra last Saturday. We opted for the Monte Bajo menu tasting which consisted in 12 passes alongside the Maridaje Largo. We felt very welcomed since the very first moment. The staff was extremely professional and explained both the dishes and wines served in a very knowledgable way. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! A big thank you to all the staff :)

Great tasting menu and service!

We had the longer tasting menu experience (Veda Abierta) and the wine pairing. Full service a little over 3 hours. Service excellent (Maitre D Owen, extremely pleasant and easy to work with). Atmosphere charming, I appreciate the cutlery and furniture sourced from Spanish craftspersons. Interesting that the open kitchen is exposed, overall not extremely relevant. Also worth noting that the staff has experience with English, but their Spanish is much better. I had an issue with the service fee that was mostly due to language barrier. I want to address a common complaint about the food. I enjoy trying new things. I have been to many high end dining experiences, frequently in the US and NYC. In my opinion, much of the Michelin star routine is stale. You receive the tartare, the soup and demi-glace, the pastry and sorbet, and they are all excellent, they are near perfect, but they are the same. At Santerra I felt that I could genuinely feel the experimentation. Trout and horseradish; deer and shiso; trout cake; these, are to me, only born from a love of Spanish flavors, but in novel settings. There are some combinations of savory and sweet, such as crisped chicken skin and parfait, that I am not sure I will ever have the chance to try again. I am still not quite sure my tongue actually delighted in what I tried, but I quite genuinely enjoyed the feeling of putting it to taste for the first time. If you want the canonical fare, then there are some standards on the menu. The ham croquette is, as promised, astounding. The royal mallard, honestly, I did not like. Of these, I'm sure you can have your endless opinions. I will say that, if you want to visit Madrid, and leave having tried Spanish cuisine with aplomb, then you must visit Santerra.

Food was 10/10 in terms of quality, taste and presentation. Special courses we never tried before with amazing texture and fine taste. Service was professional and very attentive, but we could’ve gotten the single courses faster.

Absolutely one of the BEST experiences and meals!!!! Luis took care of our table and he was wonderful. Attentive, kind and knowledgable. The food was A+! Meals paced well for the 11 course tasting menu and each step-DELICIOUS! We will be back for the 16 course! Highly recommend!!!

I had such a great dinner here. This was the 3rd and last tasting dinner I did on my 3rd night in Madrid. They made me wait at the bar(ish) area upstairs after I checked in for my reservation. I was then led downstairs to the main part of the restaurant. In my opinion, I got the best seat in the house because they put me at the table directly facing the set up area so I got to watch the guys do work all night. I once again did the wine pairing. It was 10 plates of some of the tastiest dishes I’ve ever eaten. Their wine bottles were huge. I always perked up when the guy would come over to pour me a serving by using a chingadera to scoop up a glass worth. The wines I was given were all so tasty. They paired perfectly with every dish I was given. It was all so good So good that every plate that got dropped off at my table went back clean. I ate it all Service was good. There was always someone around if you needed anything.

Fantastic dinner. There are two restaurants, street-level is nice casual and the fine-dining(this review) is one step down. The food is very high quality and creative. Great wines and sommelier. The boletus bonus dessert at the end was awesome!

Amazing dining experience in a unique and cool restaurant. While everything was delectable, the croquettes and the venison really took the spotlight - they shouldn’t be missed. The atmosphere was also intimate and very pleasing. Would return whenever I’m in Madrid

Michał Rozesłaniec

Fantastic place! Service at an outstanding level. Very friendly and knowledgeable, they look after the guests from the first second! Food brilliant. Croquettes top! The deer is one of the best dishes I have ever had. I think all the dishes on the menu are great!

Wonderful experience, food, ambience and service are of another level! Great suggestions for the wines, even if we didnt take the menu we were able to taste various plates from the menu. This was in the restaurant area downstairs.

I ate dinner at the bar and it was fantastic. Everything from the "Gilda" pintxo to the creamy coquette to the callos stew (known dish of beef tripe & head parts of Madrid) was delicious. The cheesecake was also something else - like biting into a cloud of deliciousness. I'd visit again.

We had a FABULOUS lunch here. A quick caña and tapa at the lively bar, then an incredibly delicious meal downstairs. The ham croquetas are awarded Best in the World for good reason. Even the bread here is worthy a Michelin star! The service is impeccable, the presentation fun and beautiful. The space is elegant but not stuffy, the ambience is nicely designed and muffles sounds around you. This place is well on the way to stardom, go before word gets out!

Las mejores croquetas del mundo! Visitar Santerra y no pedir sus croquetas de jamón ibérico es un pecado. Tienen el equilibrio perfecto: una bechamel increíblemente cremosa (casi líquida) y un sabor intenso que justifica totalmente su fama y sus premios. El resto de la carta, basada en el producto y el monte bajo, es también de altísimo nivel, y el servicio es impecable. Un lugar de referencia en Madrid para los amantes del buen comer

Fenomenal, a la altura de su estrella. Me ha hecho redescubrir la codorniz. El restaurante es un semi sótano muy bien ambientado acorde a la cocina pero no para de ser un poco oscuro.

Probamos el menú monté bajo. Nos gustó pero no nos encantó. Hay platos como los entrantes, sobre todo la croqueta, la carne o el postre de piñones que si nos gustaron mucho. Muchos platos con pescado o marisco. El trato y el servicio rápido y muy atento. Quizá se agradecería más variedad de panes, había mucha variedad de vinos y el espacio es bonito. Repetiríamos en la parte del bar pero no el menú. Aún así es recomendable por calidad precio.

Muy bien trato y comida pero a mejorar en los detalles del local. Estuvimos cenando tres personas, por la hora a la que fuimos no pudimos probar el menú degustación pero nos lo hicimos a nuestra manera y colaboraron dándonos el aperitivo del menú degustación. La carta de invierno muy orientado a productos de temporada así como carnes de caza. A destacar el arroz con trompetas negras que estaba espectacular, la croqueta y el lomo de orza. Le falta un poco de mantenimiento al lugar, con muchos desconchados y óxidos sobre todo en el baño, muy pequeño y sencillo para el restaurante, la zona y el precio que tiene. El servicio muy bueno, todos muy atentos, serviciales y rápidos.

Anteriormente fui a comer en carta a santerra y la verdad que esta bien, pero esta vez decidimos comer el menú largo y me decepcionó mucho desde mi opinión ya que hay mejores opciones degustación en otros restaurantes por el mismo precio o inferior. Me faltó que el ambiente fuese mejor, creo que necesita alguna reforma en la sala y mejor atención en la sala

Santerra offers wonderfully unique food, with standout game dishes that are a must-try. However, the service could use a bit of tweaking, the “glass” of wine felt more like a tasting pour, and the wait between courses was longer than expected. That said, the flavors and creativity in the dishes made it worth the visit!

Sami Tayfour

Chef was playing on the edge with the seasoning. Very unique dishes, especially enjoyed the dried grape leaves. The dessert needs an option with more acidity to cut out the richness from the mains. Overall - 8/10

Los platos de su menú degustación con buena presentación, pero no fueron de mi gusto. Demasiadas combinaciones no siempre acertadas. La presencia de algun camarero algo descuidada. Estuvimos en la planta de abajo y en todo momento tuvimos varias mosquitas volando por encima de los platos e incordiando. Lo mejor, su croqueta, pero las he comido mejores.

Menu degustacion decepcionante para una estrella michellin. No nos sorprendio ningun plato… cantidades pequeñas siempre son de esperar pero que en conjunto quedes satisfecho y no ha sido el caso. Servicio sin nada que destacar, al final recogiendo con prisas y mala cara. Una pena y me sabe mal hacer este tipo de reseñas pero ha sido nuestra experiencia y por lo que hemos pagado no lo merece

Me quedo con un sabor agridulce de mi visita a Santerra. Al ser el domingo y no disponer de menú degustación , decidimos comer en la zona de la barra de la cual había escuchado también cosas muy buenas. En general, los sabores me han parecido muy fuertes ; es obvio que es comida con sabores potentes, pero creo Que todos los platos estaban bastantes salados, lo cual nublaba su sabor. Me Esperaba sabores más “delicados”; en concreto, el escabeche de los mejillones me pareció muy fuerte así como los callos y los torreznos y las albóndigas muy saladas. Y repito, digo “fuerte”, porque son platos que hemos probado miles de veces y de los cuales todos tenemos un recuerdo en el paladar, por lo cual es inevitable comparar. Y los precios creo que totalmente desorbitados. Un ejemplo son 27 € por cuatro albóndigas de perdiz que como ya digo estaban excesivamente saladas acompañadas de una especie de espuma de Parmentier, cañas a 3€, croquetas y anchoa minúsculas…. Por otro lado, El estar en la zona del comedor de la Barra y suponerse algo más informal no significa que haya que descuidar el servicio,y sobre todo si estás pagando esos precios, Y como en muchas otras ocasiones, te encuentras a camareros muy inexperimentados y un poco lentos (con un aforo a medias). Pedimos cuatro croquetas, y finalmente nos pusieron una ración (6 Ud) por equivocación , que insistieron en dejar porque no cobrarían, pero sí cobraron. No dijimos nada y simplemente nos dejamos propina…Así que 170 € por comer “comida tradicional” me parece un poco excesivo. No sé si la experiencia en su zona de menú de gustación es totalmente diferente y han centrado sus esfuerzos ahí, Pero mi experiencia ha sido agridulce.

Ambience The fine dining restaurant of Santerra is located in the basement of the main establishment, well separated from the more casual dining area. The setting is elegant and intimate, creating a refined atmosphere that immediately conveys exclusivity. Unfortunately, while the ambience sets high expectations, both the food and service fell noticeably short. Service The service was one of the weakest aspects of the evening. Explanations of the dishes were mumbled and difficult to understand, and even when comprehensible, the descriptions rarely went beyond what was already listed on the menu. Considering the complexity of the cuisine and the relatively quiet dining room, this lack of engagement felt disappointing. Furthermore, after declining the wine pairing at the beginning, we were briefly asked about alternatives. Once those drinks were finished, however, there was no further follow-up on additional beverages or even water – an inattentiveness not expected at a Michelin-starred level. Cuisine The 16-course tasting menu is ambitious and deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of La Mancha, reinterpreted through a modern lens. In concept, this was well executed, yet the actual experience was uneven. Low points: The frequent use of offal created a recurring bitter undertone across several dishes. The Royal Duck, presented as one of the highlights of the evening, had an overpowering flavor and a crumbly, unappealing texture. A pre-dessert accompanied by chicken skin chips felt overly fatty and carried an aroma more reminiscent of a fast-food stall than of refined dining. Similarly, the roe deer dish was paired with a sauce based on anchovies – overly sharp, slightly fishy, and distracting from the otherwise strong main component. The quail was tasty but cumbersome to eat, with meat that clung stubbornly to the bone. Highlights: Among the few truly memorable dishes was the Wild Boar Parfait with Calvados and Reinette Apples. This course beautifully balanced sweetness, acidity, saltiness, umami, and smoky roasted notes, showing the kitchen’s full potential when all elements came together in harmony. Conclusion While Santerra’s tasting menu carries ambition and a strong conceptual foundation, the execution left much to be desired. With too many courses marred by heavy flavors or for us rather unusual flavor combnations, only a handful of dishes stood out as memorable. Combined with inattentive service, the overall experience lacked the finesse and consistency one would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Slightly disappointing. Service was friendly but pretty slow, they took a lot of time in between dishes and felt like were not really paying attention to us. Croquettes were really good as announced (best we ate).

Después de probar más de 100 restaurantes con estrella Michelin, para mí Santerra me ha decepcionado siendo el restaurante que menos me ha gustado en su conjunto. Servicio correcto, ( por decir algo) las explicaciones de los platos eran demasiado rápidas y no trasmitían ningún tipo de pasión por lo que estaban contando. Ningún plato sorprende! Es mas, alguno me decepcionó bastante y lo dejé sin probar. El precio obvio es de un estrella Michelin, que no merece la pena pagarlo de ningún modo. La verdad de momento a sido mi mayor decepción del 2026. Espero que mejoren, porque como sigan así o le quitan la estrella o acabarán cerrando. Un saludo
