It's served sizzling in a clay dish, a dish I actually first knew about from Mark Wiens, and it lives up to the hype. The sauce, perfect for dipping bread, was incredible, rich and full of flavor. This is clearly their famous signature dish, and it's easy to see why. A must-try in Madrid.

We went here for a late lunch, maybe 3 pm., after an exhausting day of walking and sightseeing…read moreMadrid. As we left Plaza Mayor, I spotted this popular restaurant. My wife and I sat in the back. It wasn't full, thankfully. It's a nice old restaurant that reeks with charm and history. The servers were real friendly. It had outdoor seating, but we stayed in the back to relax. We had 3 dishes., Gambas Al ajillo, Tortilla Español, a small one and Orejas (pig ears) à la plancha. They were all so good, perfectly seasoned and cooked well. The tortilla was creamy. The Gambas were garlicky...used my bread to sponge in the olive oil infused with garlic. The Orejas was tender and crispy at the same time. Food is sublime and service, first rate!

The folks here at Botafumeiro will take care of you the moment you step in the door with a continuous flow of free tapas each time you order a round of drinks. The free tapas are a great mix of about 8-10 different ones and not nearly like the cheap chips or olives that many places give you these days. One could probably get a whole dinner's worth of good food just ordering a few round of drinks. During this visit, this happened to be the only place I saw razor clams and this special kind of scallops that are customarily from Northern Spain in Galacia. Both dishes tasted phenomenal and our patatas bravas could've served us for days. It was huge! Absolutely the best neighborhood tapas bar to fulfill your seafood cravings. Next time, I'll have to add their octopus (pulpo) to my list. It is a pulperia after all!

The navajas were good, however some were a little small. I tried ordering the cazon, but instead they gave us croquetas de jamon though. I would definitely come back the next time I am in Madrid. It's a small place, so there is limited tables and standing tables. However, you can stand by the bar too. The staff speak limited English (they even have a sign that says it), but they were super kind.

The main course was sliced fish absolutely loaded with the tiniest splinter bones imaginable, so be careful. It was incredibly bland and flavorless, served with cold potatoes and peas. Tourist trap?

So far, our experience with Madrid food has been a lot of stale bread and mayonnaise on just about everything. Hopefully today changes my mind.

We had the grilled artichokes with jamon, the assortment of croquettes and the octopus shrimp risotto. All of it was very tasty and blew our minds, especially the croquettes! Best taste better than in Seville and Barcelona!! No kidding, you should try them. The artichoke wad prepared a totally different way than I've ever seen. Very tasty, small amount sold as unit but we ordered two pieces- enough to enjoy for each of us. I would go back- this know for the seafood. Lots of specials including clams/ conches/ fish dishes. Felt full enough afterwards, really enjoyed their cuisine. A hidden gem.

We actually ordered another one just to look at it again, basically, as it turned out we were too full to eat much and had to take it home! It's just that good. Outdoor seating and very friendly service.
