Restaurante Finca El Vivero — Restaurant in Brunete

It has been a month since the date we celebrated our wedding party in La Finca El Vivero. We should have written down our review over here sooner - after the party I mean - but we were waiting for our wedding pictures from our friend that was our photographer on that date to upload with this review. Normally when you want to organize a wedding in Spain you are recommended to reserve a restaurant/ a place at least 6 months before. In our case, it was complicated cause I’m still a student, my husband doesn’t live in Spain and we had 3 months only to organize the wedding. So since the first moment I came to the restaurant El Vivero to talk to Davinia and explained our situation, Davinia was willing to be our wedding planner with all of her enthusiasm. She offered us all of services that the property had to make sure that we would have our best wedding ever. And it was true what I was told. We really had a good time! Our idea was celebrating a Spanish wedding (I’m not Spanish and my husband is Australian) to introduce to our friends Spanish culinary and culture. Catching the idea, Davinia and her staff made a stunning event not only for us but also for our guests - our friends from 14 countries. It must say that everyone was satisfied with the Spanish food and the service. We must mention that on the date we were celebrating the wedding, the weather was extremely bad - there was a "historical deluge in over 50 years backwards in Madrid". I think you will remember that date - the 3rd September - when all of our cellphones rang at once when the government alert warning arrived to recommend us not to go out if it was unnecessary. Due to the deluge, the staff still tried their best to serve us meanwhile they were wet. It was very touching. We were pretty grateful to Davinia and her staff for their best service to supply us a completely happy day. P/s: Davinia and Anna, you have shown to our international friends not only the Spanish gastronomy but also the Spanish hospitality culture through your service. Thank you so much again from our hearts for helping us to have that happy day with our relatives and friends and for becoming a part of our memories when we talk about our wedding. Best wishes from...

Mi reseña se basa en la celebración de boda realizada en Octubre de 2024 (perdonad el retraso porque quería haberos escrito hace mucho). Pongo esta reseña por si alguien tiene dudas con elegir este restaurante para celebrar su boda. En nuestro caso era una boda pequeña, de unos 40 comensales. Tienen un salón pequeño acristalado que os diría que es mas adecuado para comuniones pequeñas o algo asi, para bodas tienen un salón muy grande (que en nuestro caso tuvimos que pagar un extra porque cabe mucha mas gente), y tienen una carpa exterior que también es bastante grande. Nosotros lo celebramos en el salón grande, que se llama Vidrieras (si no recuerdo mal). Es un salón bastante bonito. Como decía, en nuestro caso eramos 40 pero yo creo que caben 200 personas quizá. No realizamos ceremonia pero tienen opción para ellos, hicimos un Cocktel en frente del salón (en la calle), donde tienen un pequeño jardin que queda bastante bonito también. Para la discoteca de después de la cena lo pudimos hacer dentro del salón. Como es muy grande se dejo una zona habilitada para ellos. Puntos positivos: Las dos mujeres que llevan la gestión son muy agradables y te ayudan un montón. Puedes ir hablando con ellas mientras tanto para gestionar el menú, los regalos, lo de la discoteca, los eventos a realizar durante la cena, etc. Se adaptan a como quieres que sea de especial tu boda. La nuestra fue sencillita pero como decía tienes la opción de hacerla mas completa, contratar mas "cosas". Otro punto positivo es que se come bien y el sitio es bonito. Por poner algún punto negativo, se equivocaron con uno de los platos que pusieron (por lo visto desde el inicio quedo mal apuntado y nadie nos dimos cuenta), el DJ lo contratamos por su parte y le enviamos 1 listado con las canciones que queríamos y la verdad es que no se adapto mucho a nuestras preferencias (quizá eso fue lo que menos nos gusto). Y como decía el sitio es bonito pero no deja de ser un restaurante y el cartel grande de "RESTAURANTE" que tiene al lado le quita un poco de "glamour". Mi recomendación, si buscas una boda sencilla o intermedia, es un sitio genial para celebrarlo. Si quizá buscas unos jardines grandes, mas "glamour", mas llamativo, quizá no seria el sitio adecuado (pero es lógico, es un restaurante con opción de eventos). Muchas gracias a ambas por vuestra atención y por lo agradables que fuisteis con nosotros! Boda Octubre 2024...

A nice family place with good and fast service. We shared Sweetbread, red peppers and Calamari as tapas, then two nice cuts of Beef with fries and salad that we shared among us (3 adults and one kid), one bottle of wine, only one desert (for the kid) and only one coffee for 130€.

The sweetbread were not salted and a little too cooked. The Beef was excellent (meat was age dried, which was not indicated with a perfect flavor and correctly cooked - I.e. "bleu" and "rare"). The service of the meat was made on a very hot terracota plate allowing for extra cooking needed be. Good selection of wine and we had a nice Ribera for 32€ (indicated as 20€ on vivino so not outrageously priced). Good bread as well. Overall very nice time with family even though a...
