The stew is delicious and goes well with the bread basket they provide once you are seated. However, the pork sausage from the stew was extremely salty. Couldn't finish that. Also ordered the Los Huevos de Lucio topped with Spicy Pork Sausage. Interesting dish - fried egg on top of a bed of French fries. And then sprinkled with spicy chorizo. 5/5 would recommend this place.

This is our first time visiting Spain and wanted to dine at a nearby restaurant that the hotel…read morereceptionist recommended. I am not completely sure why our waiter did not look happy serving us, maybe because we are Asian? He greeted the others and asking how they were doing, but when it came to our table, the man hardly had any smile on his face and not even a "de nada" when we said "gracias!" With that said, the food was honestly mediocre and quite salty. I understand most touristy places tend to have higher prices but please use that money elsewhere.

Went here because I was craving to try pulpo a la gallega and this place was close to my hotel, and…read moremy craving was sufficiently satisfied. The first thing I really like is that the price is quite reasonable because my half portion of pulpo (8 euros), bread (50 cents), and wine (1.50 euros) only came out to 10 euros. And the octopus was cooked really well making each slice very tender. The main problem was that it was very salty, but it helped to eat each piece of octopus with some potato to balance it out. It was also really nice to use the bread to sop up all the juice and oil on the plate. Really nice and cheap lunch, the food seems like good simple Galician.

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 looks very homey, which probably has many dining rooms. We were greeted nicely at the front. The service was efficient and friendly. We got by with our little Spanish and theirs with their little English. We came here for the Cocido Madrileña, which they still cook in claypots---the old traditional way. A bubbling little clay pot comes to your table. It is filled with meats, chorizos and garbanzos. First, they serve you a shallow bowl of noodles. Then they pour the broth over it, so you eat like soup. Then you eat the rest of the Cocido. They give you sides of shredded cooked cabbage on the side. It was delicious! My son had the Callos, which was fantastic. It had nice pieces of pork belly and chorizos. My wife had fried lamb chops, served with pimentos del Padron. She loved it, too. Food was great and the service!

You have to get a mix, I got 2 each of blue cheese, spinach, Gorgonzola, and mushroom and leek. They cost 9 euros. They gave me some olives, which were made grandmother's way. Very nice recipe!

The inside is small with half a dozen seats at the bar and five tables. Two bartenders running the place. Menu is up on the wall, no English menu available. Seven types of vermouth along with beer and wine options. - Bread and olives - complimentary. Olives were decent, bread dry. - Lacuesta reserva (3,70€) - dry style vermut from Riośa. Smooth, didn't find it particularly dry. - Vermuza con lupolo (4,00€) - sweet style vermut with hops from Huesca. Slightly sweet, well balanced. - 1/2 Croquetas (8,00€ for 6) - bonito, huevo cocido (tuna and boiled egg), morcilla con membrillo (black pudding), setas con puerro (mushrooms with leeks), jamon (ham), espinacas, pasas y gorgonzola (spinach, raisin and gorgonzola) and queso azul (blue cheese). Favourite was the bonito. Croquetas were perfectly fried. - 1/2 Papas con mojo picón (3,50€) - boiled potatoes with salsa verde and salsa roja. Half portion was a perfect size. Sauces were tasty, potatoes cooked just right. An enjoyable, cheap tapas meal at CJ.

But the maitre'd was totally nice. Give us a break, we were trying with our broken Spanish! lol. The restaurant was beautiful.

Weirdly though, I loved the steak the best. Perfectly cooked, with the fat cap crispy and the meat done medium rare. The fries were also amazing! The drinks were so-so. Food was so amazing though - definitely a treat yoself meal though!!!

Tucked into a quiet, residential corner of Madrid, O'Grelo is a seafood lover's dream. The room is…read morebright and spotless, the counter gleams, and the air smells like nothing at all, which is exactly what you want when the catch is truly fresh. It was packed to the gills (pun intended) with immaculate product coming in throughout the day, laid out in a dizzying variety that looked as beautiful as it tasted. You won't find much in terms of elaborate dishes here. O'Grelo is all about the fresh catch itself. We loved it so much we went two nights in a row. Over those visits we bulldozed our way through oysters, sea urchin, carabinero prawns, langoustines, razor clams, percebes, and a handful of other crustacean curiosities I couldn't even name before this meal, "slipper lobsters" among them. Many of the species on offer were new to me, yet every plate arrived pristine and delicious, proof that ingredient quality and careful handling do most of the talking here. In a city spoiled for extraordinary food, O'Grello still stands out. It's un-touristed, fairly priced for the caliber, and run with care. If the sea is your happy place, this is a must - one of those experiences you'll wish you could bring home with you.

Looking to explore, I found my way to the bar up top in which one of the workers helped me out with the menu. The place was not too busy around the early lunch hour, but they hooked me up with a table with a great view and promptly got my order of calamares orly con aioli. I also ordered a beer and had bread and olives alongside with it before the calamari came in. The calamari was lightly breaded and although the aioli was a bit too creamy for my taste, it still had a good garlic punch to it. I also don't normally eat olives, but these were great and liked the texture to them. Also, appreciated the olive oil on the side which goes great with anything. The prices are probably a bit on the higher, tourist side, but this place does have a great view and despite others' reviews, I found the service helpful, attentive and quick.
