The inside was nice without being stuffy and our service was good. I chose this spot because it's a Bib Gourmand Michelin restaurant and it did not disappoint! It was also very reasonably priced - so much so that while originally we were going to do a la carte, we decided to go for a prix fixe menu. It was totally worth it to try so many things and we were very full but not overly so by the end! All our food was only 48 euros which is incredible!

When you walk in it seems like a typical narrow bar with some tapas behind glass. At the end you head downstairs and the into the restaurant. The restaurant is divided into several rooms with tables. It was amazing how we kept going and kept seeing more rooms. How big is this place? The walls covered with all sorts of stuff. Finally we entered the main dining area. Our group of 14 fit perfectly. El Ñeru specializes in traditional Asturian dishes (Asturias is in northwest Spain). One of those dishes is the Fabada asturiana, a white bean stew). This is what I got. Hearty and delicious. Perfect for two people. They also serve dishes from other regions of the country. My wife went with a traditional Madrid dish, the callos a la madrileña. Also, hearty and delicious. Both dishes are heavy, you're gonna want a nap afterwards. The rest of the group was satisfied with their orders. Zero complaints. My son tried his first asparagus and liked it. Other favorites were the croquetas, pulpo a la gallega, and the oxtail. This is a must try. I agree with the Yelper love.

It's tucked away enough that once you're inside, the crowds fade out. The space blends old-world Madrid charm with a more modern, polished presentation. Elegant, upscale, and comfortable without feeling stiff. The Food The menu is a deep and confident dive into classic Spanish cuisine. I started with the fried artichokes with Ibérico ham, which were crisp, rich, and exactly what you want them to be. Simple, perfectly executed, and very satisfying. For the main, I ordered the escalope with egg yolk and truffles, and it was a showstopper. Large, indulgent, and absolutely delicious. The kind of dish that makes you pause for a second after the first bite. It's easily big enough to share, so keep that in mind unless you're feeling ambitious. Dessert was the Basque cheesecake, and it delivered. Beautifully caramelized edges, a soft and gooey center, and just the right level of sweetness. A strong finish to the meal. Service Service was fine. Nothing especially warm or cold, just steady and efficient. It didn't add much to the experience, but it didn't detract from it either.

When they opened, they were a little shocked we didn't have a reservation for 6 people, but they were able to get us situated by pushing 2-2 tops together and moving seats around it. Our waitress offered us an English menu, which definitely helped for ordering since their menu is quite extensive. We didn't have much room beyond our 6 sharing plates, but it worked really well based on how they were pacing food. Dishes came out one at a time and we were able to enjoy and complete each one while they were fresh from the kitchen. They kicked us off with a complementary plate of cheeses, cured meats, and short breadsticks which was a great way to start. The food: Spanish Omelette with Artichokes - Tortilla de patata con alcachofes - a thin layer of egg with thinly sliced, browned potatoes, and lightly fried artichokes. All comes together nicely with slightly different textures. Home-Made Croquettes - Croquetas caseras - 8 enormous croquettes with the crispiest bread crumb exterior. Inside is a lot of creamy/cheesy filling with little bits of cured meat. Warm Salad (Sprouts, Avocado, Fresh Cheese, Tomato, Aoili, and Prawns) - Ensalada templada - the name needs work, but the dish does not. The mixture of everything make it eat more like a creamy shrimp dish from the avocado and egg. Then you have a little texture from thinly sliced fried parsnips (?), sun dried tomato, and salad greens. I would be happy just eating this for a meal. Confit 'Flower' Artichoke with Iberian Jowl, Fresh Foie, and Quail Egg - Alcachofa en flor confitada - is this food, or a work of art? I believe this is the first time I've had a vegetable confit, but the cooking method converts the artichoke into a tender, super rich spread of artichoke leaves. With the toppings, this is near the top of indulgent vegetables I have had in my lifetime. Cuttlefish and White Prawn Rice - Arroz de Sepia y Almeja - lots of seafood, some creaminess from the rice, and then some aioli is added on top of that. Some people in my party didn't like the rice being that "Al dente", but I was ok with how the rice was cooked. Sea Bream Fillet with Galician-Style Clams - Lomo de Dorada con langostinos - perfectly cooked fresh clams. The fish fillets had a nice browned skin, good salt level. No complaints about this dish, but it wasn't very memorable either. It was a full house by the time we finished, and I'm not surprised based on the food quality and sizable portions. Very impressed by the food and will be seeking a return visit if ever back in Madrid.

In Spain, I still get confused about seating. "Is this place a seat-yourself place or a wait-to-be-seated place?" Sometimes it is hard to tell; therefore, to avoid an awkward encounter by making a command decision, I stand in one central place awkwardly blocking the waitress/waiter until they tell me what to do. Thank God for my wife, though, who makes the decision and just sits. Luckily, she was right. This is one of those just-sit-and-wait-for-the-waitress places. Now, before you order know that you are welcome to take a look inside at the food. Also, know that some items on the menu are not available at certain times of the day (I'm sorry but I'm still in the dark as to what those items are). Nevertheless, they have a great selection of tapas (midday snacks, translation curiosity of me). The great thing about this place is that there are zero tapas and drinks that breach the €6 mark. In fact, everything we got was under €3.75. Our most expensive item was the tortilla de patata, which was deliciously proportioned (a great ratio of runny to solid). Not only was the food and drink very cheap but it was also delicious. We tried a smorgasbord of tapas. I did not necessarily delight in all the tapas, some were just not my bag baby. However, others were definitely my bag (see pictures for details). In total, we got 6 tapas and five drinks and only paid €27. Overall, this is definitely a great spot for tapas. Whether you're out with your date or you're bringing the kids along for the ride, this little place off Calle de Serrano is perfect to break the seal on your first tapas experience. Enjoy!
