It is okay. Many of the pictures are very samey, there are hundreds of portrait pictures in there. It is a great museum but I think perhaps people set the expectations too high for it. If you are here for multiple days, I would recommend perhaps spacing it out over several days during the free hours from 6:00 to close at 8PM. You still have to reserve your free ticket online. You're not allowed to take pictures but I was able to take these before they told me no.

A must visit while in Madrid for art lovers, buy your tickets in advance at the official site. Photos are not permitted in the main galleries. Huge crowds around the famous Prado at works but with a little patience you can work your way to get a good viewing. Highly recommend the guided tour which will ensure you view at least 4 or 5 of the famous works.

It’s a nice museum with many great artworks of the history but I found it way too overcrowded and overwhelming. Would recommend to go to the Thyssen museum instead. Also, they don’t allow to take pictures inside. If you do plan to go, consider spending at LEAST half a day. It’s a huge museum with lots of artwork and history to assimilate. It also has a nice cafeteria to have break while you visit.

Prado Museum is probably one of the top highlights of your visit on multiple trips to Madrid. The art work is very impressive and could easily compared to other top national galleries in the world. It has a great collection of the most famous Spanish artists and I would suggest to break your visit to multiple days. I was able to take a few shots that probably will not represent the richness of the general exhibition alone. We were lucky not spend too much time in a line up. However, I would recommend buying tickets in advance. I hope you enjoy your visit. Thank you!

I visited the museum and used the 2 hour self guided tour as shared on the museum website. It was super helpful as the museum artworks are exhaustive and you could spend hours and hours. I had bought my ticket online so the entry was super smooth! I do recommend doing this as the entry lines can get long, and it is quite hot especially in the summers! The museum has a couple of cafes which are perfect for taking breaks in between.

Finally I get to see the real painting of Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights! It’s hard to imagine someone from the 1400s painted this! And of course, the museum also housed many other famous paintings! This is the reason why I’m in Madrid! Mission accomplished. No photo taking in the museum though I saw some did… not my problem 🤣

Fantastic museum with beautiful collection. One should plan 3 - 4 hours to see everything without pacing. The only disappointing thing is the entry - this could be definitely organized better, also another point - the map of the museum could be also designed somehow better with a kind of route to follow. Sometimes you need to wonder in which room exactly you are. Minor improvements, but above all - absolutely worth visiting

This museum is incredible,it is the must to do in Madrid ! Obviously, the museum is huge, so if you want to enjoy every corner of it, it will take time. At least 3h in your day is great ! The plan and the organisation of the rooms are a bit messy, so make a list of artwork you want to see if you are in a hurry. Take your ticket in advance if you can. Don't forget to visit the shop, nice souvenir to buy. The staff inside were all very kind.

Great museum to visit, especially for lovers of art between the 15th to the 20th century emphasis on religious art. The museum showcases paintings and sculptures from famous artists such as Goya, Caravaggio and more. Taking photos is not permitted once inside.

great and enormous art collection. one of the best museums in the world. i recommend having the tickets bought to enter without lines. the visit time is minimum 2/3 hours. important: no photos allowed inside the museum

One of the most beautiful parks I have been to! Very big, green and well maintained. It has a rose garden, big lake where you could ride a boat and many other things to see! Great place for walk and relaxation! It feels amazing in the summer and spring!😊 I would visit again!

A very nice park. Clean, beautiful, alive, a nice place to read a book in quite areas under the trees. Good place to relax, take a nap or spend time alone or with friends.

A huge, peaceful park in middle of Madrid… we run in the park in morning after then we walk around at noon, although we couldn’t visit every touristic spot. Lots of beautiful, well detailed statue in here. I suggest that every tourist should visit and spend some time in El Retiro Park to relax.

This is one of the best spots in Madrid. A huge, open air, free park for everyone to visit. It features water fountains, monuments, sculptures, playgrounds and also little cafes and ice cream shops that make for the best place to stroll around and enjoy a nice day out. There is no toilet paper in the restrooms so be warned. Be ready to walk and get lost in this beautiful place.

An incredible city park! It's large, well maintained, and very family friendly. It's great for running, walking, picnics, and dog walking. There are so many areas that are all structured for varying activities and interests. There are play areas for younger kids, green spaces for whatever suits you, and workout areas if that's what you're looking for. All and all I'm very impressed.

Originally I wasn't planning on going, but I had a fantastic time! The park is very well maintained, quiet, and peaceful. There's so much to see, and so many animals everywhere! We saw many peacocks and stray cats, and the pond outside the Crystal Palace was filled with ducks, swans, fish, and turtles. The gardens are beautiful, and no tickets/admission fees are necessary! There's lots of shade, so even in hot weather, you can get out of the sun and enjoy a picnic. Highly recommend!

Great park, very big and lots of greenery. There are many fountains and small places of interest to stop by. At a very central location in the city and very accessible, to families, tourists and a great place for going out on a run or exercising.

A very expansive space with amazing tree lined pathways and places to rest. I feel very comfortable and safe walking alone here. There’s even amazing places to view art. It really is one of Europe’s grandest urban outdoor spots. A nice place to wander around and enjoy nature in the heart of Spain’s bustling capitol.

A famous spot you must visit when you come to Madrid with plenty of beautiful areas to relax and meet up with friends. Free to access and easy to get to. A lot nicer in the spring or summer, but still a great spot in the winter.

This park reminds me of Central Park in NYC, but a smaller version and it’s just as beautiful. I loved walking around here and taking in the various monuments, the large pond surrounded with people and also filled with people on the water. The vibes here were immaculate and if you’re looking to do something in Madrid or just wanting to relax then this is the place to be!

I have to say, it was an amazing experience. I am giving it a well-deserved 5-star rating. The palace exudes a captivating atmosphere that transports you to a different era. The grandeur and beauty of the architecture left me in awe. Exploring the different rooms and halls was a treat for history and art enthusiasts like myself. The attention to detail in the decorations and furnishings is impressive. Each room has its own unique charm, and I couldn't help but admire the exquisite craftsmanship. The palace grounds are equally magnificent, offering stunning views and well-maintained gardens. It's a perfect place to take a leisurely stroll and soak in the ambiance. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing valuable information about the palace's history and guiding us throughout our visit. If you have the opportunity to visit Madrid, I highly recommend paying a visit to Palacio de Real Madrid. It's a must-see attraction that will leave you with unforgettable memories. Whether you're interested in history, art, or simply want to appreciate the beauty of this majestic palace, you won't be disappointed.

I'm going to be honest, I didn't go inside but I would if I budgeted better. It's only £12 entry, I'm just here backpacking for a festival. The grounds however were stunning and the view was amazing. The inside is supposed to be stunning and a lot of people's fav palace. My tour guide says he loves documentaries but it took him three trips to get through all the audio guide content. There is tons. Anything and everything you want to know about in there, they have info on it. So good for people who love interior design, architecture, and history. But the outside is stunning. Buy your tickets in advance to skip a long queue.

An excellent tour of very extravagant architecture and decor. We purchased tickets online to skip the queue to buy them on site. We also paid for the audio guides so that we could listen to the history and get context as we went along. You can go at your own pace and stop for the things you find more interesting or take your time and soak in all that the tour has to offer. Well worth the admission fee. It seems like each room has something new and unique to offer, let alone the entire building itself. There is also the armoury section where you can see weapons and armour through the years. Pictures not allowed in all of the rooms.

The exterior of the palace looks more beautiful than the interior. The elegant architecture is befitting to be abode for the royalty. The white palace contrasted by the blue sky creates a stunning atmosphere for photo opportunities. The large open space at the palace exterior helped create a feeling of openness. The visitors are only permitted to visit in a designated route, and photography is not allowed in the majority of the rooms. The information boards are in Spanish and English. I strongly suggest visiting in the morning because the queue and waiting time can be insane in the evening. You may not be able to enter if it is time to close. Bring a debit/credit card for payment. They don't accept cash. Should you visit? Yes, the palace is simply beautiful.

Well, what should one say? A lot of art and wealth… it’s impressive how things worked long time ago, politics, etc… Art is amazing, a must see in Madrid… It would be great to see lot more in the standard visit, I’m pretty sure that many doors lead to secret places…

This palace was absolutely stunning and the views of the city were incredible. The rooms were gorgeous; however, I wish there were more current pictures/paintings of the reigning King, Queen, and their family. It only costs $12 for a self-guided tour, students under 25 can get in for $6. Also, pictures are only allowed in certain areas.

This landmark is a gorgeous place to visit. I would highly recommend purchasing a tour or the audio tour. This is not your typical museum. Each room was more gorgeous than the next but I would have loved to learn a little bit more about what I was looking at. There are some placards with minimal information sprinkled throughout the experience. We bought tickets a head of time which allowed us to skip the line. We did have to wander a bit to figure out where to enter the palace, but eventually found it. Another recommendation I have is to place this a little further into your trip, it is killer to do this much walking when trying to shake the jet lag. We can make our way through a museum pretty efficiently, but this kicked our jet lagged butts! There are no pictures allowed inside most of the areas, but it really is quite breath taking to see these rooms decked out in the most spectacular art and treasures. A highlight was the crown and sceptre. Definitely worth a visit.

The exterior of the palace is beautiful, but it has become even better. We were fortunate to be here relatively early because of the short line. After passing the check and cash register, you might feel like before, and walk in the courtyard of the palace. Inside the palace, you can unfortunately not take pictures in certain rooms, but still fantastically look at the powerful art pieces. Unfortunately, we didn't come to the peacocks which were outside.

Talk about a MASSIVE structure. Just from the front, it looks gigantic but when you go around the side, it just gets bigger and bigger. The place is magical. Didn't make it inside as we didn't buy tickets in advance and the lines were really long. Was told that it is free to get in after 5 or 6 pm but we had to keep on moving and didn't make it back. Wished we could have. The parks around it and behind were pretty spectacular. Next time I guess. Buy in advance and ENJOY.

The best place to finish your experience in Madrid. Just sit at any restaurant during the evening, get a drink and watch how the plaza comes to life. 😉 Relax here if you're tired from lots of walking the city too. Just avoid the vendors and folks dressed up in characters, they're only interested in what is in your wallet.

Very exciting square! There's lots of shops in and around the square, and there's a lot to do. Very beautiful structures as well. It can get a little busy during certain times of the day. But definitely worth checking out and going to the various shops. There's even a rubber duck shop!

Iconic square near my hostel, one of the most famous squares in Europe. I went when there was a Christmas market, and while it was a nice cultural experience as it was my first Christmas market, the merchandise was quite mid. Love the location and proximity to other famous places.

Beautiful square. Lots of visitors milling around. It was nice to see the newly weds appearing on the balconies of one of the buildings, with people cheering and clapping. Plenty cafes and restaurants to sit and enjoy the view, in the square and down the side streets.

Beautiful plaza with a lot of great energy. Lots of people, but the plaza is so big it didn't feel too crowded -We were there end of March. It feels good here, there are street artists playing music or dancing, and people seem to come here just to relax and eat some tapas. I would come back here

Got a chance to visit stadium, which was under construction, but really mesmerising. We bought tickets online which saved as 3 euros per person. The stadium tour also includes the museum tour. Overall it was a very good experience. Total time needed for a non football fan is 1 and half hour. For a football fan it might need a day .. so plan accordingly and go

First time here. Really wanted to watch this great club live. The stadium will be insane once finished, but right now under massive construction, and it really takes away A LOT from the overall experience. You can't enter through entrance closes to your seats - need to walk around to another part - then it's a little maze inside. Nothing is finished inside all concrete at the moment. No vendors, no food or beverage stalls. Just some random guys selling a minimal amount of items from their coolers. The worst thing is not the queues, but that they don't take cards - simply don't understand why?! So simple to organise, and much quicker than cash! The seats inside are pretty small, compared to English or most other European destination stadiums. Very uncomfortable to sit through the entire game. The pitch is amazing, the football was great at times. Would like to come back when it's all done.

Honestly the stadium is not in the best condition. It's currently under construction. There are much better stadiums in Europe. This one is just famous for being Real Madrid. There is good access to it with the metro. Lots of helpers to show you where to enter. Stadium shop on site. The food and drink options could be a lot better. They only sell water, coke, non alcoholic beer and sandwiches. Maybe VIP get better food.

First time in Madrid, so had to check out a Real Madrid game. This is a bonkers sized stadium fits 80k folks. There was some construction when we went so a little obnoxious to walk around the entire stadium to our section. Unlike in other stadiums I have been to you can only enter through your gate. Once in, it’s just ports potties and water vendors. They didn’t sell anything else. But when you get to your seats. It’s insane, very lively and huge. There are no huge Jumbotrons, so cant watch replays or anything of that. Overall a cool experience, but I wouldn’t say the best stadium.

This is a must see place in spaim for real madrid fans. The tickets can be bought online. The store has some shopping session with jourseys and other sports item. All are costly though starting with a tshirt costs 175 euro. They do have museum for show casing the cups and medals. And thats a must view. Right now in August end 2023 they were doing some constructions and hence we couldnt see all part of stadium..

I am not a huge football fan, but this tour was a real experience and really is a feat on engineering! The way that the stadium, (when completed), will transform into a multi-sport complex, is very well explained by way of video and frankly is quite amazing. Even if you are not a football fan, the Bernabéu is well worth a visit. We bought our tickets online and paid a little bit more to allow us the “flexible” entry option. We did not queue for photos with various trophies etc. and the whole tour, (the high was unaccompanied), took about 60 minutes.

Visited the tour and museum. The tickets were reduced as there’s major construction going on to the stadium. The museum was okay, I’ve been to a few better considering it’s Real Madrid and all of the history they have. You can currently fly around this visit / tour in about 20 minutes. Best to wait until it’s re-opened fully.

Currently under construction. Not a soccer fan, but decided to visit the stadium. It was amazing even with the construction. I did not realize the great history of this football club. I highly recommend the tour of the museum and the glimpse of the inside of this magnificent structure. Makes me want to return next year to see the final product.

Incredible!!! We were there when it was under construction (still under it) but it is incredible even so. We do the tour and it was fantastic. The best stadium in the world!!!!

AMAZING experience! 80,000 fans in the stands! I highly recommend anyone visiting to go to a game. I paid $60 USD for the worst seats on the stadium, and they were amazing! Not a bad seat in the house. The locals are very passionate about the team. When the team song came on before the game, many of the girls around me were crying during the song. So much passion! Please go to a game! Definitely worth it

Nice Stadium, but it's surrounded by buildings. And not much for fans or visitors to do in and around the stadium. The Metropolitano is better in this aspect. But the Bernabeu has more History and elegance.

Everything was perfect from the moment we called to book till our last bite of dessert. Food was top, service was beyond, the whole team is super friendly and nice, and they knew their menu quite well, so they would recommend the best plates as per your liking. The whole experience was great. No wonder they rank in the top 3 restaurants in Madrid in most tourist guide platforms

I enjoyed everything in this restaurant, from the dishes to the accommodation of the staff and the intimate atmosphere. This place offers full-size dishes that display some authentic flavors of Spain. We tired the sardines, octopus, and monk fish. For dessert the torrija and cheesecake. Everything was perfectly cooked and paired. Our server Mario was hospitable and knowledgeable.

We visited this magnificent restaurant today and it met and exceed our expectations! First, the service was awesome, Antony and his colleague dos their best to take good acre of us, very attentive and super friendly! Lovely people! The food was fantastic, beyond words! The starters (octopus, salad with duck hum) were lovely. The octopus was so tender! The mains are well-cooked, really good authentic taste! This restaurant serves you great food, real food and respect their customers. The dessert was the perfect end to a great dinner. The Galician cheesecake is a must try! Last but not least, we were given a bottle of free wine! Yeaaaah! Thank you Antony and your colleagues for such a great experience!

Another fantastic restaurant in Madrid. This one specializes in Galician food. It is an upscale restaurant which often requires a reservation. The place is stylish, with a calm and quiet atmosphere. The service was fantastic, and the good was very good. It is pricey. It’s an excellent place for a quiet romantic dinner.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at this place! Everything from the beautiful surroundings to the friendly staff and delicious food exceeded my expectations. The staff members were incredibly friendly and welcoming. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly greeted and well taken care of. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and went out of their way to ensure that my visit was memorable. Their genuine hospitality added an extra touch of excellence to my overall experience. The menu offered a variety of mouthwatering options. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was impeccable. It was evident that the chefs took great pride in their creations, as each plate was a work of art. Don't miss out on the opportunity to indulge in an absolutely amazing experience that will leave you wanting to come back for more.

We went here last night with some visitors from the UK and had a fantastic evening. We all chose fish/seafood options and they were all delicious, but the clams and monkfish were stand outs. Service was phenomenal and Elloy couldn’t have done more to help with recommendations and picked a great wine for us. They also speak English and have English menus, which was helpful as our guests didn’t speak a word of Spanish. We will definitely be back to try the meat options on the menu.

Really enjoyed the experience. Very good food, attentive and friendly service. Highly recommended. Reservations usually needed. The sauce on the clams was perfect and the ribs were beyond fork tender. The cheesecake was light and creamy. All around, a good experience.

Wow!!! What a fantastic dinner. We had a tremendous server, Jesus, who walked us through the most amazing meal and we appreciated his humor. We had the cheese and octopus to start, the baby pork ribs with barbecue sauce, the “secret” pork, and baby goat shoulder. All were very well cooked and had incredible flavor. Excellent wine list with authentic Spanish wines. The desserts were inventive and very delicious. What a great experience!

We came here to celebrate our fifth anniversary (we came here on our honeymoon too!) and had another fabulous experience. Rui Jorge was our waiter and was EXCELLENT and so kind. He made our anniversary so special with roses on the table, bacalao croquettes, cheesecake, and a bottle of wine. My husband had the lamb shoulder and I had the ribs. So delicious! Thank you Rui Jorge and Montes de Galicia for the wonderful food and making our anniversary so special!

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Madrid. I’ve been coming for years and just went again today. I loved the quality of the food and the service. Rui Jorge was fast, kind and gave us very good recommendations. Will definitely keep coming!!

We spent an amazing evening there! The only thing that was better than the food was the service by Anthony and Samy. Anthony made sure we found the exact wine we wanted to accompany our dinner. And Samy recommended the perfect dessert (the Galician cheese cake by the way) Thank you so much for this experience. Will definitely return again!

The best restaurant in Madrid!!! Must visit and eat the 90€ menu! You get A LOT of food, amazingly precise and delicious. The starters are so unique and satisfying, the main course is huge and so fresh as well, and the Galician cheese cake with an espresso is absolutely stunning!!!! You get as well 2/3 bottles of wine and beer, sparkling water and soda are unlimited! Our waiter was JJ and he was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and professional!

It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment I stepped foot into the restaurant, I was captivated by its enchanting atmosphere. Every dish that was presented to our table was a work of art, crafted with creativity and precision. The quality of the ingredients used in each dish was evident, as every bite was bursting with a symphony of flavors. The combination of the amazing atmosphere, delectable cuisine, and attentive service make it a true gem among restaurants.

This is an amazing tapas bar and well worth a visit when in Madrid. Lovely themed restaurant with a fantastic cocktail menu. The sangria is wonderful and a must if you are here. Wide range of Tapas dishes to chose from.

What a gem! We were drawn in by the decor and kindness of the hostess. But, wow!!! The food was fantastic. Easily the best meal we have had on our 9 day vacation through Paris, Barcelona and now Madrid. Cristian, our server, was AMAZING! Great personality to go with the scrumptious food. It’s also worth mentioning that the music had us dancing in our seats. I can’t possibly recommend Rosi la Loca more. Definitely plan to make this a part of your vacation, you won’t be sorry.

Food and drinks were really good, we loved the way it was served, overall atmosphere was fun and crazy. Unfortunately the service was really bad - no one really cared if we want to order, the waiter was busy having fun with his friends. We waited long for our food and there were couple of mistakes. One of our dishes was even served to other table, that ordered it about 40 minutes after we did and no one even apologized about it. It’s a shame cause if the service was better I could easily rate this place 5 stars.

A unique place that offers fun and colourful dining! Amazing experience! Michelle and Alberto treated us with love and kindness. We enjoyed every bite and every sip. Non-alcoholic cocktails available. !Maravilloso!

Wow. Maybe my favorite restaurant atmospherically and presentation wise I’ve been to yet! Every time a dish was brought it was an exciting view and even more exciting to eat. The tuna was really soft and flavorful along with the other dishes below. I definitely recommend as it is not too expensive overall.

One of the most impressive and unforgettable dining spot in Madrid. Everything’s eye-catchy from interior design to tableware, plating and serving. Service was SUPERB too !! Very sure we will be back during our next visit to Madrid. Hard to miss.

Rosi La Loca, was the best part of Madrid for us! Both the food and the service were top level! The food was absolutely delicious, each course was super fresh, super tasty, and served beautifully. The cocktails were fantastic, so fun and also strong!! The service we received from Berta was amazing, we were so impressed with her and think she deserves a raise! We didn't know much Spanish but Berta was so friendly and welcoming and spoke to us in English which was so kind! I highly recommend Rosi La Loca - we will 100% be returning!

Realy happy to give it good rating Many go for the photos so lets talk about taste first. The food tasted yummy & fresh & good portions. Its all well presented in colorful plates and some dishes have serving action . High light dish is beef cheak . The staff were welcoming & helpful & informative Decoration wise its funky colorful vibrant , but place kind of small and tables closed to each other so not easy to get insta perfect snap 😉 Note you must reserve online inadvance and if you dont cancel you pay 5 euro per person. Its on the expensive side .

This place is easy to miss if you're just passing by, luckily they are well known in the area. The vibe here is different. Lots of foreigners piled inside this small restaurant enjoying some of the best tapas in Madrid. It was busy so we sat at the bar and drank some sangria while we waited for our table. Once seated our server took our order immediately. We had a handful of tapas and they were all good. The shredded beef was to die for. It was so good! We contemplated ordering another one even though we still had so much food coming. We were pretty much hyped up for the paella but unfortunately their paella did not hit. Very bland and lacked protein. Their dessert was pretty good, better than the most places I've had in Madrid. Definitely recommend for just the tapas.

This bar provides very high quality of food. The grilled squid is very fresh and delicious. Especially, the seafood risotto is extremely stunning, unlike other Spanish Paella, the risotto is not too salty, it’s a great alternative to someone who like Paella but not like too much saltiness. The service is good, and the bar is warm and cozy.

This is a very cute place to have some tapas. The staff was friendly and I sat at the bar to enjoy the food. Well I ordered too much. The portions are huge and the price is right. In terms of the food, it was good but not earth shatteringly good. But the vibes are very nice. I enjoyed it.

i just loved the atmosphere. i find peace in the chaotic situation. One of the staff Jhoan was really friendly. the food was good. loved the octopus tentacle. Sangria was good too. the portion is a little too much for me. is really good if come with friends. you can order more tapas to share.

Must visit, extraordinary dining experience. The warm and friendly staff 🔥 create a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The charming ambiance of the rustic decor and Spanish music adds to the authentic feel. The food is outstanding, with delicious tapas, seafood and meat dishes that burst with flavor! The impeccable service and reasonable prices make Taverna El Sur a must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable Spanish dining experience in Madrid, enjoy !! 🥂

I've never been to Spain before, so this was the first restaurant I've tried in Madrid. Foods were just amazing especially the potato tapas. The server was very nice and kind, and the recommended drinks were just perfect. I will definitely visit this here again with my friends and families.

Best tapas! We came here with my friends and we were impressed with the food. The octopus was so fresh and soft. It was delicious! We paid only 85 euros for 3 people including drinks. So affordable and the food is great. The waiters was so friendly and nice. We will definitely come again!

The food at Taberna el Sur was so good we ate there twice in one week! The pulpo (octopus), gambones (shrimp)…get bread to dip in the juices, ropa vieja and zamburiñas a la plancha (scallops), and paella were all amazing. Oh yea, and there patatas bravas were delicious, we loved the smokiness of the have. We loved this place so much we came here again for our last meal en España. Even our son loved the food! On top of that the staff is very helpful and kind. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Don’t forget to try the torta (cake), we had caramel, it was so good!

This place gets really busy, so expect a long wait before you get seated. All of the food was great, and the iberico ham with eggs and potato were the star of the show. Super delicious and flavorful! Portions are quite big, so be careful not to over-order! The octopus was a little disappointing because it was quite chewy and lacked flavor.

A bit expensive but the place is trendy and very well designed. The service is excellent, the manager had an impressive knowledge of the menu, the cocktails, the food, the place and furthermore general culture. The food was delicious. It is very well presented, and some are served in a very fancy table service (scallops or squid). The cocktails were excellent especially the cracken if you like sweet flavours.

Interesting quirky place which is a feast for the senses - almost too much happening but the resident DJ was a calming influence. Good sangria, draft beer in metal cups and a variety of cocktails available in large character mugs? There is a slight air of impatience (or arrogance?) but we had a friendly patient server.

Fancy, bold and wanting for more. Right as you enter, you feel you are in a different world colorful, artistic and with a hip vibe. Almost every dish or drink is served in some funky chinaware or glasses. The service is very warm and personal. Our server Celia took time to suggest us what we could try out. She had Amazing energy! When the first drinks began rolling out - we were in awe. The presentation is mind blowing. The food has good portion sizes. We shared everything and it was perfect. We called and reserved because online there was no reservation available.

Very nice bar! The cocktails were good. The glasses / pitches are really beautiful. The decoration is very nice as well. It's big inside. We hadn't booked a table as we got there after lunch but I'd recommend it. Nice for going with your partner or friends. The only thing I didn't like was not being able to charge my phone with the special boxes they have. However the DJ tried his best but it didn't work. Great atmosphere though.

We came here twice in three days… it was that good! Not only were they the best Tapas and Sangria we had in Spain, the atmosphere and presentation is whimsical and adds to the fun! Our server, Bryan was outstanding and he is fluent in English which made it easier for us! We would highly recommend if you are in Madrid!!!

While looking for a cocktail bar in Madrid we accidentally found this place. As we didn't had any reservations we had to queue for 10 minutes to get a table but the waiting was worth it. This place is really unique. Everything is special and fantastic: Let's start with the cocktails. They are all unique, delicious and served in the most unique glasses: monkey heads, octopus forms,... it is a complete sensation. To eat we ordered a few sharing dishes. Some were absolutely great (torch flamed scallops) others were average but all of them were served in a unique way... The service, room, interior is really unique. To completly surprise us all of a sudden we discovered that the music was actually live as the artist was singing next to our table. I would highly recommend the place but would advice to make reservations and save some space for desserts as they also looked amazing.

Cocktails! And they look good. Very Instagram friendly, but from the 2 cocktails I had, lacking a bit on taste. Great place to take friends, to show off etc.. but not a 100% cocktail.place.

this place really impressed me! The decoration and theme of the cocktails is unique. The dishes are very well prepared and delicious. I loved the oysters! The attention is very good and the house music makes you want to stay all night. Highly recommended.

Amazing lunch experience at Mas Al Sur: great service and food. Ordered the seafood paella and grilled squid with salad. The seafood tasted heavenly and everything was perfect seasoned. Reasonably priced meal and ~15 euros for food per person will get you quite full. Can’t wait to come back again

Great place for tapas and some delicious sangria or wine. We enjoyed paellas, empanadas, cod confetti. We even returned for another meal and enjoyed ravioli, grilled vegetables with goat cheese and hummus with vegetables. Highly recommend for good quality food and fast service. There is something on the menu for everyone, including the kids.

Very rare gem to have nice waiters in Spain but here they are. Also the food is super good!!! Take multiple half portion, it'd already a lot and you'll taste more stuffs. Sangria is a huge glass made with love

Amazing place with wonderful dishes and a great service! We went there twice during our short stay in Madrid because it was totally worth it! Delicious octopus, prawns, paella and squid! Also sangria tastes really great there! And a free drink served after the meal was so tasty! A big credit to Emiliano, who was very inviting, kind and helpful! We liked everything about the place! Big thank you! Greetings from Poland :)

Great service with English capabilities but that’s pretty much all the praises I can give. Scallops were tiny and not worth the price. Look at the prawns in ajillo. They are like tiny baby shrimps! You can find better elsewhere. Jamon was good but they drizzled too much oil on an already fatty cut of meat.

Wonderful tapas. Very helpful and friendly staff. I recommend.

Definitely one of a personal fav Spanish restaurants in Madrid. Everything we had was superb! Grilled baby squids were so fresh and juicy, probably the best we’ve had in a while. The staffs are also super nice and friendly! - Highly recommended. Would love to try the dessert on the next visit!

This was probably my favorite meal in Spain, between Madrid, Seville, and Barcelona. The drinks were amazing and well-priced - we got the Sexy Madrid and the sangria. The paella and artichoke were absolutely delicious. They even gave us a double shot each of boozy fruity milkshake at the end, on the house. The wait staff were all super friendly even though we were clearly foreigners, and the inside of the restaurant was clean and well-lit.

Super welcoming and friendly, attentive service. We came in for an early dinner. We ordered grilled scallops (excellent), grilled squid (excellent), and grilled octopus (ok, a bit chewy). We also had the grilled sirloin with pablano peppers and potatoes, which was terrific and I'd highly recommend! Sangria was great, too.
