Mesón Madrid — Restaurant in Heidelberg

Extremely rude, average food

The restaurant had a disturbingly loud closing door and smelled a bit musty--especially in the bathroom. But anyway, we dined. My tap beer tasted stale, but the others in my party didn't have complaints about their drinks. The appetizer was approved by the other members of my party; they liked it very much. I enjoyed my potatoes and the garlicky dip. My salmon was a bit dry, but I did request that it be well done, so that's on me. One member of my party ordered a fillet and got a whole fish, so he tried to tell the server (Spanish- and German-speaking, older woman), but she disagreed that there was a problem with the order. She asked what to do then, take it back? My friend said yes, so she did. At the end of the service, she brought the bill to our table.

I can't think of a reason a restaurant open to the public would treat their...

It is probably not the best restaurants for vegetarians in terms of variety of dishes to choose from. You can probably order a couple of tapas or some gazpacho (what I did).

Churros for desert were also very good. Good wine, great atmosphere. I would recommend. And I would give five stars if there maybe we're some vegetarian dishes...

The place is managed by a Spanish couple, and they’ve been here for quite a long time, this also makes this restaurant an integral part of...
