Petya GrozdarskaOctober 6, 2019We waited a lot but the food was worth it! The lentil hummus, ensalada rusa, mushroom omlette were all very good and the presentation was fascinating (what I mean-try the No traditional Cesar's salad)
Nabeel ZoJune 17, 2018The food & the atmosphere overall👌.. This is EGGs Heaven.. you've to try the potatoes in a Jar with eggs.. Eggs tortilla also you can grill your beef by yourself.. Don't miss it if you're in Madrid
Jessica jessicaOctober 9, 2016Modern take on tapas. Great food, but some hits and misses. Must try El Potito and vieiras. The restaurant itself is spacious, modern and trendy. Great bar area where you can actually sit at the bar!
Zara KhanMarch 28, 2017Fantastic place for tapas! Cozy ambience, nice for an easy lunch or an intimate dinner. Contemporary, filling, interesting and everything is full of flavour. The artichokes are a must try!
Masa JencicSeptember 28, 2015You have to try the potito, veal cheeks and taco with duck. The place itself is fun, modern and hip, as well as the dishes-they take a fun turn on traditional tapas.
David HuOctober 27, 2015Excellent, unique take on tapas "Deconstructed" not the best word but pretty accurate. Many dishes are super rich in flavor. Juan Palomo (picture in tip) is basically a DIY dessert.
- Andreas CohenNovember 23, 2015Where do I begin? It's all soooo good. To end, try the chocolate sex in a bowl. Other must do's Duck Taco Pato, Baby food jar El Potito, Dimsum de Arroz, bio veggies.......
Nacho CarreteroSeptember 26, 2014Fantastic food presented in a very original and unique way. Both the restaurant and the menu are quite like nothing you've ever seen. Dimsum de arroz a la cubana is delicious, the artichokes a must!
Ebru SaitogluOctober 29, 2016The best tapas place in Madrid. We were there for merienda. Squid sandwich is a must have. La Rusa (Russian Salad) is very fresh and tasty. Finally the "cecina" should be tried.
KennyFebruary 10, 2018Dinner menu begins at 9pm. We had plenty of wine -- the taco Pato were AMAZING, and the (Baby food jar) El Potito was out of this world. & Artichokes! Strongly recommend, Not very expensive, either.- Zara KhanMarch 28, 2017The duck taco ❤❤❤ we ordered a bunch of different tapas and they were all pretty fantastic. Can't wait to visit again !
JTMarch 24, 2016Tapas are interesting and yummy in a street foody way - same goes for presentation and ambience. Would order the chicken wings and tortilla brandade again! Salt lubina was fun to eat- KennyFebruary 10, 2018Dinner menu begins at 9pm. We had plenty of wine -- the taco Pato were AMAZING, and the (Baby food jar) El Potito was out of this world. & Artichokes! Strongly recommend
- Juan BuisApril 13, 2017Amazingly creative tapas, great music and not expensive at all. Need to have the red tuna and the cheese cream dessert.
Genesis GarciaDecember 6, 2016The Gyozas de ropa vieja are SO good. The tapa de viera was very tasty as well. I wouldn't order the burger there though, it was a bit underwhelming. But overall, really good vibes!!
Tomas LegorretaJune 9, 2018Very nice place, with great food, drinks and atmosphere. There is live music performed by a super talented dude that plays guitar, keyboard, sings and what not.- Zara KhanMarch 28, 2017The lamb was quiet juicy and tender. No complaints at all at this place. Just absolutely flawless contemporary dining !
Mar GonzalezSeptember 23, 2014Modern tapas experience. Very nice designed place. Try the potito and the dim sum de arroz a la cubana! They don't take reservations so better go early :)
Laure AlbouyMay 2, 2017I love this place! A perfect example of how to master modern tapas. Its fun, refined and delicious!
SedaSFebruary 7, 2015Cool, young atmosphere. Mix of a bar and restaurant. Delicious tapas and great wine. Reasonable prices. Get there early, it gets very busy.
Ioannis PapapetrouAugust 15, 2015One of the best restaurants i have eat in Madrid..Very good services and all the plates were delicious!!!
PauOctober 7, 2017A great place hidden in a supercosy square. Nice but too dark. Dishes are small but tasty. Don't forget gyoza filled with ropa vieja.- Eamonn CareyJune 9, 2013Try the potato, egg and truffle dish. Sublime. Also the foie gras ravioli is amazing. This tip makes me sound like Patrick Bateman...
Constance CarakehianOctober 25, 2013Really fun and alternative. Modern take on traditional spanish tapas. Go for the tortilla, the potito, the veirias and the croquetas. Delicious and cheap
Miha StrazisarSeptember 27, 2015Inovative and fun way of presenting the dishes. Everything we ordered was delicious and all in all a really fun experience.
Marissa MackenzieApril 30, 2017We came to escape the rain after a Real Madrid match so only got to try the snack menu. Very good tapas, will try again for dinner
sesimJune 30, 2016Great place with awesome food! The fried artichokes and the potito are unforgettable.
Crazy revisited tapas ! The lunch menu around 18€ is perfect
Amir MirzaeeJuly 20, 2016I mean... It's all brilliant. Get the burger and chuckle while opening the pack.
Nicole SmithSeptember 11, 2014I absolutely love this place. Everything on the menu is playful and delicious. Love the personality test wine list too.
Sophie ChungJune 25, 2012Really cool/famous Gastropub. They do funky spinoffs of traditional Spanish tapas; served in unconventional ways/deconstructed dishes. Made famous by Anthony Bourdain.
NathanJune 7, 2016I usually don't trust Anthony Bourdain's recommendations but this time he's spot on. Standouts were "El Potito" and the pulpo.
AlexeyAugust 7, 2014Perfect tapas. If you are lucky, they will even bring you a small tree of herbs that you will have to cut yourself.
Cagatay @IstanbulDecember 23, 2017Scallop, mussel, clam based, in general seafood based tapas are straight from heavens. Çağatay 💙 Gabinoteca
Tomás PinheiroNovember 22, 2014Amazing tapas restaurant. Had the best meal in madrid here. Dont miss the The truffle egg
Dinos RadisMarch 17, 2016According to locals, probably the best tapas bar in Madrid. Really loved the dishes!
Stephen RedwoodDecember 19, 2014Tasty tapas, friendly and quick service, lively atmosphere, original and trendy design
BeckySeptember 24, 2013It's amaaaaaazing!! Good food, good service and incredible atmosphere. What more do you need?
Heather RodriguezNovember 16, 2013Delicious fusion tapas. Get the taco pato, potitas, foie. Amazing food!!
Carmen GuzmanJune 2, 2012Everything is fantastic! Place is super cute. Order the "potito" or a caipiroska negra. And don't forget dessert!
