Really really great place. Been for breakfast and brunch a few times and also in the evening for drinks and it's always great. Staff are friendly, decor and atmosphere is relaxed and chilled, and the food is great. Get a smoothie, it's well worth it. There's also free wifi, the wifi password is sanandres (the name of the street). read more

The restaurant is gorgeous with bright sea green walls, fully stocked bar, and lush greenery all around. The tables on the top floor have plenty of space to enjoy the ambiance and the food but we opted for the basement which is a full beach with sand and comfy floor couches and colored lighting. The caffe lattes were delicious with the perfect amount of sweet in the cold foam and delicious coffee that actually was strong enough to feel awakened after a long night of drinking the day before. The watermelon gazpacho was refreshing and fruity but still had savory notes. The thai noodle salad was also refreshing with the cold salad including crunchy peanuts and cabbage and nutty dressing and plenty of rice noodles. We both got the huevos racheros which included a velvety black bean base, perfectly poached eggs, creamy and fresh avocado, and delicious, smoky, spicy chorizo with chips. We inhaled the huevos racheros, it was that good. The staff was delightful and accommodating, and gave great recommendations. I absolutely recommend! read more

Oh man this place was amazing. The breakfast, coffee and orange juice was amazing and very affordable. The waiters were very nice and polite and were there as soon as you need them. Was very impressed by the quality of food for the price. Came here twice during our week long trip and can't wait to go back. read more

Amazing ambience and drinks. Stopped by for dinner with my gf and got a tableground by the fake beach. Food: lots of choices and very reasonable in prices. We had the viet sandwich, kale salad and the bravas. We also ordered mimosa and aperol spritz, and of course th fruit crumble to end the night. The bravas were beyond, definitely stand out of the night. My viet sandwich was also pretty good, and definitely great in portion size. Ambience is so much fun, I wish this kind of place existed in Toronto. Ojala, you will be missed. read more

Ojala is one of those many hidden gems of Malasaña. My friends and I would come here and relax on the sandy beach themed bottom floor of the restaurant. We'd kick back, take off our shoes, and enjoy the delicious cocktails and appetizers. The prices are fair for what you pay for and the service is actually good in comparison to traditional Spanish service. If I ever moved back to the city, Ojala would be one of my first visited restaurants. read more

Good ambience. Great drinks. Especially the Berry mojito is a catch and a specialty. But I don't know about anything else, because I haven't eaten here before. But heard it's good! read more

Ojalá. La gran diferencia que aporta este local respecto al resto de Malasaña es comer sobre la arena. La decoración, ambientación y música están muy cuidadas y la carta es interesante. A lo importante, no se come mal y los precios son bastante competitivos, el humos con boniato y las hamburguesas, son para mi, las estrellas de la carta. Lo malo, el mobiliario de "la playa" resulta incómodo obligándote a comer tumbado o como un indio, chicas no vayáis con minifalda. Como en la playa, resulta imposible no acabar con los zapatos llenos de arena. read more

My husband and I went to Ojalá on a Sunday night for some drinks and a small dinner. The restaurant was adorable with interesting interior design on the open door patio. We ordered a liter of beer and it came out in a beaker! Very cute. We ordered the guacamole, chicken tacos, and chocolate cake. Everything was delicious. read more

Very delicious, and probably the best Sangria we have had in Madrid so far. The patatas bravas were wonderful, and the food was also great. Charming place. My only recommendation is to book for the main restaurant instead of the beach part. It's an interesting idea but the tables are tiny and low, and the main restaurant is charming and more comfortable. read more

Simply awesome. I found it by coincidence and it became one of my favorite ones in Madrid. Go downstairs to see what it's hidden down there read more

Fun bar and restaurant with a beach bar in the cellar. Good cocktails and good fun, great music even if the staff weren't too friendly. The upstairs restaurant looked and smelled pretty good as well. read more

Gorgeous place ... but the room downstairs with the sane smelled dank. I am not sure I'd return but the location and decor is adorable.

Not to be missed when visiting Madrid. Located in the middle of the hippest neighborhood this small cafe has every inch decked out with art installations. Because it's located in a quiet plaza deal Juan Pujol. This restaurant is a gem. The coffee is amazing and the brunch amazing. Corner calle San Andres read more

Love the downstairs! This beach(downstairs) inspired restaurant/bar/cafe is definitely worth a visit. They have lovely food and drinks to choose from, I would recommend the sangria ! They also offer small bites so it's always a good time to check out Ojalá! read more

The breakfast was delicious!!!!!! A good healthy option that fills you up. The place is very cute too.

I've been here about 4 times since coming to Madrid. The service is better than many places, which is something to be proud of in Madrid. The free wifi is quite fast, also. My favorites: Affligem Tripel beer - for 3 euro, this is the best beer deal I've found in Madrid. It's 9.5 abv, and is a solidly delicious belgian tripel. I also love the little shot glass they fill up on the side, but have yet to understand the purpose. Bravas Ojala - essentially potato chips with a creamy aioli sauce smothered on them. Croquettas - fried potato balls Brochetta de Pollo - actually more of an egg roll, stuffed with spices and chicken, and smothered on the outside with sesame seeds. Come with soy sauce and some orange, tasty sauce. These were simply fantastic, and came as the Barcelona style tapas, with a stick shoved into them. Ask for olives if you order a drink. They should be free, and they will include an assortment of olives, pickeled onions, and some other things. Delicious. You can also get a plate of nuts or potato chips instead. Vino tinto - pretty decent glass of red wine, for 2.5 euros. It's a great place to sit at night and drink, and they are open fairly late. I have to find some other spots because I've been to Ojala so much I'm wearing it out... read more

We ate menu del dia here and loved it! For the first course I had the gazpacho which was a little different than other places and very refreshing. It's typically a type of cold tomato soup but they also add cucumber and watermelon which you can really taste. For my second course, I had the bass which had a cilantro lime flavor and was served with rice and fresh sauteed radishes. I then had a fruit salad for dessert. This was probably the best tinto I had in madrid because they added generous amounts of fruit and it was a little sweeter than others. I would recommend this restaurant with plentiful terrace seating and in a great part of town (Malasana)! read more

It's a shame that the service is so poor here because the prices are right, and food quality is good. Expect long waits (a consistent observation), and, when you do finally get service, don't expect your food to match the menu description. Ordered a salad that allegedly came with a lime vinaigrette and was served that salad with a cream dressing. The server agreed to bring a new one, though I was blamed for not requesting a special allergens menu. Never mind that there shouldn't have been a problem had I been served the lime vinaigrette as advertised. They proceeded to bring out a new salad with no dressing. In conclusion, where is my lime vinaigrette? When we inquired as to where it was, a harried "¿quieres?" was the response. I was brought standard oil and vinegar. Ojalá, you are so full of deception and abominable service. read more

Come to this bar and go downstairs to have a drink while sitting in the sand. You'll feel like you're on the beach! Malasaña is a fantastic neighborhood and this bar is definitely worth visiting for the experience. read more

Great place to work or meet international people. Healthy menu and usually have a good menu del dia

The white sangria is amazing and the food is so yummy! I've been there for brunch and dinner several times now. They are also willing to split the check which is rare in Madrid! Very trendy and nice for a normal price. read more

We went to Ojala for dinner under the idea that this was a Mediterranean restaurant. Turns out, it's mostly an American food menu (not what we are in Spain for). While the decor is very cute and cozy, the food leaves more to be desired. It is reasonably priced so at least you aren't spending a lot of money for mediocre cuisine. read more

Upbeat, lively hipster ambiance. I was seated right away by the waiter even though it was during rush hour. This was a pleasant surprise! I started the night off with Pimm's Cup and hummus and chips. The Pimm's Cup was refreshingly fruity- perfect for a summer night! The hummus and sweet potato chips had lime that tied the appetizer together. For my entree I got the Detox salad. Again, I was impressed. It had quinoa, red cabbage, red onion and a delicious lime dressing on top. I would definitely order this again if I had the chance to go back. I ended the night with the house white wine. This was a light fruity wine. I thought it was subpar but not bad. The dinner came out to be 15€. I thought this was extremely fairly priced for the amount of food and drinks that I had gotten. The restaurant was in a great location. There were a few wonderful bars right around corner. read more

Great for dinner or lunch. Really liked the menú del día for lunch. Nice salmon and veggies as the main meal. It was nice to sit outside in the square read more

Local, really cozy place with amazing food and outdoor seating. Just make sure to get here early on the weekends to get a good place.

Ojalá was a great way to start my trip here in Madrid. The patatas bravas were probably the best I've had in Madrid. The sangrias were a little weak with compared to other sangrias that I've had but I give this place 5 stars because of the beach area in the basement. read more

Cute breakfast location with good quality food and drinks. Located at the corner of Calle de San andres. Outside seating at the mini Plaza is also available. No English menu so you might need some help from the waiters who are very friendly. Had brunch with Spanish omelette, orange juice and coffee. Very tasty read more

Love this place, great ambience and music. I've had the roast beef wrap, their pancakes for breakfast, white sangria and a milkshake. Everything was delicious! The beach downstairs is really cool to grab a drink at during the night, but it's usually crowded. Definitely go here and check it out! read more

My girlfriend and I went here, the gourmet burger was absolutely incredible and the gin drinks so tasty. Make sure to ask for a table downstairs to check out the crazy decor and sand on the floor. Also the bathrooms are lit. Gets busy though so come early and just stay for the rest of the night read more

Cool bar/restaurant with a trendy vibe. Really nice on the inside and they have a beach in the basement (sort of)!! Trendy but a little more than I like to pay for just a couple drinks. Your typical Malasaña cool hangout bar that's a little more than you can afford on the daily. read more

AWESOME BRUNCH! The world-mix brunch option was to die for. The pancakes were the best pancakes I've ever had. Delicious enough for me to eat alone without any toppings or jams, but chose to eat them with strawberries and cream and ricotta. My cappuccino was also perfect. 10/10 would dine again. read more

Very cool restaurant come lounge in the Malasana neighborhood. I had the chance to go while visiting Madrid and it's a great, unique spot for locals as well as tourists. Not sure about the food but they have cool drinks and downstairs sandy beach area (as u probably read in ALL the other reviews ;)). You lounge on the sand with pillows and enjoy your drinks for the night. I'm from San Diego so fake beaches should really not be fascinating to me but in the middle of Madrid's summer weather with no body of water in sight, it was a pretty cool spot. If you have a big group make a reservation as it isn't a huge area! read more

Yummy food! All the sandwiches are bomb, although at 6ish euros you would think they came with a side salad or chips. The downstairs "beach" area is cute but uncomfortable. The white sangria is delicious but pretty sure it contains next to no booze. Get the half liter of wine that comes in a measuring glass! read more

One of my favorite bars in Madrid. I definitely recommend making a reservation for a spot in the underground sand bar. Very cool vibe and great food/drinks. read more

I really like this place. In the middle of Malasana, they have an amazing menu, affordable and tasty, and the design is just great!
