I ordered the "pan fried" eggplant which ended being a large platter of tempura fried eggplant. Good! Service (4/5): Slow and a bit hard to get service but it's Madrid. Life is a bit slower paced.

Look no further if you're in the Oporto area and in search for some value sized tapas and fresh…read moreseafood. 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 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? It certainly felt like one. Don't mean to be rude but have to be honest. Great service and decent prices gets then 2 stars! 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.

Small place next to our hotel Palacio de los Duques. It wasn't open until 8:30 pm but we waited…read moreuntil then. Wait Staff spoke a bit of English so no worries. 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.

We had just strolled from Plaza Mayor on a Monday afternoon at 4:30PM. It was completely packed like an indoor version of The Great Migration in really slow motion. We could hardly see any of the food much less be able to order anything or even less, find any place to eat it. Through the masses, I could tell it was a high-end gourmet hall, and apparently over thirty vendors do business here. I saw maybe two. Come at 10AM if you have any interest in trying the food here. The cacophonous late afternoon anarchy made us lose our appetites. If you think my assessment is unfair, I suggest you march off the cliff with the rest of the Instagram lemmings.
