There are several better places to eat in Madrid. Rude owner, extremely disrespectful. As a group…read moreof 7 we had made a reservation for lunch at 3:30PM. When the reservation was made, we asked if it was an okay hour to eat. The response was "yes!!". After an hour and a half (no more) we were ordering coffee and dessert to finish our meal. The owner came storming in, shutting the curtains of the restaurant and aggressively telling us that they are closing and we have only a few minutes to finish dessert and leave. We took the hint, and told them no need for dessert we'll leave right now. When the check came, we attempted to split the bill and again, the owner scoffed at us and told us to make up our mind and to get out as they are closing. He proceeded to tell us that we "aren't accustomed to their schedule" (even though at the time of making the reservation, none of this seemed to be a problem). NOT TOURIST FRIENDLY. In summary, don't make reservations and assume that you're welcomed here. You will be kicked out. Very impolite and, honestly, not worth the mediocre food. There are better places to eat in Madrid. Hay mejores lugares para comer en Madrid. Propietario grosero, extremadamente irrespetuoso. Como grupo de 7 habíamos hecho una reserva para el almuerzo a las 3:30 p.m. Cuando se hizo la reserva, preguntamos si era una buena hora para comer. La respuesta fue "¡¡sí!!". Después de una hora y media (no más) estábamos pidiendo café y postre para terminar nuestra comida. El dueño entró como una tromba, cerró las cortinas del restaurante y nos dijo agresivamente que estaban cerrando y que solo teníamos unos minutos para terminar el postre e irnos. Captamos la indirecta y les dijimos que no había necesidad de postre, nos iríamos ahora mismo. Cuando llegó el cheque, intentamos dividir la cuenta y nuevamente, el propietario se burló de nosotros y nos dijo que nos decidiéramos y que saliéramos ya que estaban cerrando. Procedió a decirnos que "no estamos acostumbrados a su horario" (aunque a la hora de hacer la reserva nada de esto parecía ser un problema). NO AMIGABLE PARA TURISTAS. En resumen, no haga reservas y asuma que es bienvenido aquí. Serás expulsado. Muy descortés y, sinceramente, no vale la pena la comida mediocre.

We ordered two cheap cañas and were handed not two, but FIVE plates of food and handfuls of candy. Some were better than others but the offering was more than generous. This place is very no-frills and a good escape when you want to chat with friends and actually be able to hear them.

The food is good, although the beer isn't great. It's drinkable, but not the best. One reviewer described El Respiro as "El Tigre's nicer, albeit less popular cousin". I have to say that made me laugh as I'm not sure how much nicer it is...maybe brighter lights inside, but otherwise very similar to El Tigre, which has three locations nearby which are also worth a visit. If you're in the area and want an inexpensive drink and snack, definitely stop in.

Even getting all that food for their 20 euro holiday/weekend price is amazing. Favorite primeros: - garam masala lentils - fresh pasta - judiones Favorite segundos: - pork cheeks with mole and chile oil - beef stew - steak - cod confit The desserts were their weakest course, but still not bad! Chocolate cake and lime and condensed milk tart were both solid. Tarta de queso and carrot cake were fine. The batido seemed to be quite popular, so guessing that's quite good. Will definitely be back if we're ever around!

We came for Brunch, which is very affordably priced at 15 euros for a HUGE amount of food. I came with a group of 4 (they lost our reservations) but were accomodated anyhow - so we managed to try lots on the menu. My main complaint however, is with all of the fixed meals - it was simply too much. Starts with a coffee or tea - served with a basket of warm tasty pastries. Then onto a bloody mary or mimosa (both were fine) Then a huge array of options from omelettes, to eggs florentine, eggs benedict, etc. served with a salad, home fries, etc. The mains were okay, but none memorable and all under-salted. THEN you get another round of food - options include blueberry pancakes, fruit salad, lime tarts, etc. This was probably the best course of the meal. The service was friendly, although very slow (a bi-product of being very busy for the first seating of the day).
