I think they mainly carry Spanish wines (to be expected), but we simply told them what we like, and their suggestions were on point. The FOOD!! We tried two types of meat that were incredible and it made us realize we must get at least a small cheese plate with it that was also incredible. My wife is gluten-free, and they did a small HOT gluten free loaf for her that she said was the best she's had in a long time. I also had a small plate of meatballs, and they were amazing. To conclude, an amazing experience that might be a little off the beaten path, but definitely worth the effort! (Sometimes the food was so good I forgot to take a pic before we ate half the plate)

What. Sweet gem of a wine bar- the owner treated us like a friend, loves the experience and food-read more

The espresso was not best, a bit too much water for my taste and lacked aroma, the mini chocolate croissant was just Ok, a bit dry and not soft and fluffy as good pastries should be, but is expectable, the price is cheap which makes it a good place for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack.

Excelente!! Definitely worth going out of the way for a bollo de chocolate or really any of their…read morefresh breads! This is pick up only - no where to sit and eat. Still worth it!

Mixing modern thinking and classic technique, essentially a workshop across from Conde Duque cultural center, it is prior to Panic's 09h30 opening that a small queue starts to develop including locals, tourists, old and young alike. Focused more on Bread than Pastry, but well-priced across Wheat, Rye, Spelt and organic Grains amidst Sourdough, travelers are fortunate to find half-Loaves available surrounded by hearty Crust, the Crumb's texture precise with just the right amount of stretch whether in Marca's Centeno or unparalleled Cinnamon Roll that frequently sells out before it has time to cool.

Jamie W and I had just arrived in Madrid on the Gran Via where the crowds were swarming on the…read moresidewalks near sunset. We didn't know it was a public holiday, so it was pretty overwhelming to consider where to navigate for a quick dinner and avoid the hassle. Because this spot popped up as a vegan option on Google Maps and was only a block away from our hotel, we figured that was enough for us to take a chance and try it. We were wrong. It started with the pretentious name which I believe translates to "Super cool". We weren't aware it portended a trendy menu of small fusion plates. The cafe is up on the second floor where they set it up as a kind of Garden of Eden with faux-trees and flowering branches. Service was a scarce commodity here because no one bothered to seat us or point out the QR code we were supposed to use to order. We eventually figured it out. Jamie went for a couple of items. The 6,9€ Mediterranean Toast was a bland piece of wheat baguette served with prosciutto, arugula, and feta cheese and drizzled with basil oil (Photo 7). The 4,9€ Tortilla Skewer didn't feature a skewer despite the name. Rather it was a thick, unadorned wedge of Spanish omelet placed between two slices of bread (Photo 8). That was it. My order was a little more interesting, at least in concept, the 10,9€ Italian Waffle. It was a rather chewy waffle covered with avocado, burrata, cured ham, mango, and cherry tomatoes (Photo 9). Nothing blew us away, in particular, the service which was practically non-existent. I had to search for a server just to pay our bill. Luckily, our subsequent stay in Madrid yielded some wonderful food and attentive service. Dining directly on the Gran Via can definitely be a dicey proposition. Super cool? More like super ignored.

The food was good but it's not a place I would revisit just because the menu seemed limited. Not sure if it changes from lunch to dinner but I expected a lot more for the price. Also have to read the menu carefully if you're a vegan or inform the waiter that you want the vegan version or modify it to make it vegan as they serve dishes that are vegetarian too. Nicely decorated restaurant. 4/5 mainly for the service
