Solomia (filet mignon) & Entricot (prime rib) for dinner. House made tiramisu for dessert ... impeccable quality cuts of meat cooked and seasoned with perfect execution. Staff also highly attentive. Even though we only have a few days in Madrid we will probably return to this location again before the end of our stay.

Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place for a family dinner, a meal with friends, or a special occasion. The value for money is excellent, and it's easy to see why this restaurant has such a great reputation. I highly recommend Restaurante El Sur to anyone looking for delicious food, exceptional service, and a memorable dining experience. We will definitely be back!

If you have kids, they can go play in the playground in back. They have menus in English if you need it. The service is spectacular. We started with the octopus fiera, which was thinly sliced octopus seasoned and bathed in butter. It was outstanding, cooked right, not chewy. We had some empanadas fish and meat. They were both good, our daughter loved them. We also had a plate with steak, fries, and eggs. Sorry I do not know the name of the dish, but it was great. The meat was tender and seasoned well, the fries were a little oily for my taste, but the egg brought it all together. We finished with the French toast dessert. It was not bread as much as it seemed like a custard with a sugar topping, it reminded me somewhat of a creme brulee . Either way, it was divine. Great food, great venue, great service. This place is worth a visit.

Located just outside of Puerta de Sol. This is a great place to enjoy Espana tapas and a drink!…read more The tapa portions are very large: the small size anchovies, contains two pieces of bread with 5 white anchovy fillets, diced onions, green olives, drizzled with olive oil. For a savory entree, I recommend the oxtail stew: 10 pieces of delectable oxtails in a brown gravy sauce. This tasted more like a beef pot roast, rather than a tomato style gravy. The oxtails are paired with thick cut fries.

Very family kitchen feel with the tiles, wood, and decorations. Food was good with large portions, the service was quick and very friendly. We like the homey feel of the place and it really feels like this restaurant had been around for ages. Would say the paella to avoid, it wasn't as good as the ones we had gotten from Seville. Most of the tapas were more carb heavy than balanced we've experienced so far in our trip. Recommend here if you're looking to be fed at an affordable price and quickly seated, but it isn't a place to go out of your way for.
