I was quite hungry and ordered their tortilla, even though the main kitchen was closed. Wow! The tortilla was amazing - with zucchini, onions, and potato. It was moist and juicy, the best tortilla I had in Spain, and the bread was definitely the best I had in Spain, so soft! Nice ambiance with lots of seating. You can meet people from all over the world, many of them pilgrims doing the Camino de Santiago.

We had several glasses of Rioja while we waited. By 8, we were starving and ordered too much food but it was all excellent. We had busied ourselves with Google Translate while we waited for the kitchen to open so we ordered a mixed salad, patatas bravas, a veal burger and a ham baguette. We devoured this excellent repast except for the sandwich which we took with us for breakfast tomorrow. The ambience was great, service friendly and ridiculously cheap to boot. Excellent.

As we were seated at our table I felt like a queen. Never had I experienced service like this. I took a look at the tasting menu (which I had originally planned to do) but none of the dishes caught my fancy. I hemmed and hawed at what to order and finally ended up with....the tasting menu. When in Madrid.... This is one of my favorite meals of all time and may be one of the less wordy of the bunch ("maybe", I haven't finished yet). A dish by dish review is not necessary and cannot give justice to the umami that the night unfolded. With each tasting set before me, I kept asking myself - how can you put so much goodness in such a small little dish? For example, one of my favorites of the night was shellfish to the royal with fennel flavour. Shellfish to what? and fennel... not a fan of fennel. Have you ever had something so good that you want to close your eyes and just take it all in with only your tastebuds? This frothy little portion had layers of flavor you couldn't imagine. A few of which I was able to guess correctly as uni and lobster (pat myself on the back). I loved it all. Each dish in and of itself was uniquely astonishing in its own way. To hit on a couple other surprises - the mashed potatoes were the jam. They were a runny thick consistency and when I asked what made them so good, the waitress answered "lots of butter". The cheesecake was like no other cheesecake. So good that it called for an additional order to close out the night. The wines (recommended by the sommelier) were less expensive than any red wines sold in US restaurants (even the cheaper US brands). I was wined and dined - an experience I can't explain other than using the word amazing. Which by the way, I need to find a better word because it was actually better than amazing.

Highly recommended!
