Ástor gastro-place — Restaurant in Madrid

☆Good quality and fresh ingredients, appetizing food presentation, reasonable prices & dishes cooked with love and to perfection. Kudos to the three (?) Filipino chefs for the memorable dining experience! They served each dish in a timely manner -- from the pan to the table. Everything was well-organized and esch table was well-monitored. Definitely not a tourist-trap restaurant where they give you rubbish food at a hefty price.

With only three dishes, we left very full. I felt bad we weren't able to eat all.

☆We loved the friendly and accommodating atmosphere, too. Thanks to Graciela, Adriana and I suppose the lady owner. It was almost like going to a friend's house.

☆They changed the plates and cutlery for each dish served and they didn't let any empty bottles or whatever to be on the table for even a minute. We liked that.

All in all, it.is.worth.it! Pity we couldn't try their desserts but we're definitely coming back in our next visit. Definitely one of my go-to restaurants in Madrid! It was such wonderful dining experience that many restaurants fail to provide. And because many think the same, make sure to...

Pure delight! Everything - from service and presentation to food quality, selection, and creativity - was 100%. We were greeted with a smile and offered a choice of four tables, and upon the recommendation of the hostess chose the table that was cozy and benefited both from the air conditioning and natural light. The place setting was beautiful with eucalyptus branches. We were waited upon by three different people, and each one was professional, spoke very good English, and was very helpful and kind. We were offered potato croquettes on the house - which was a nice surprise that melted in your mouth. We had aged Argentinian steak, Argentinian rib-eye and salmon with garlic velouté. Everything was prepared with high quality ingredients and clearly with love. For dessert we tried homemade brownie with fleur de sel ice-cream and it was a dream. We had a chance to speak to the owner and her love of food and desire to make everyone of her customers feel right at home was obvious. We are grateful to have had such a wonderful culinary...

On my first evening in Madrid I was lucky to get this recommendation at my hotel, where the receptionist somehow managed last moment to reserve me a place at the bar. From the moment of arrival on I was treated both professionally and friendly by all staff members, if by the barmen, the waiters, the hostess, each and everyone is pleasantly welcoming and involved. I kind of made my decision n advance, while reading the menu outside as I was waiting for the restaurant to open, but I was still well advised regarding my choices. I took the Astor salad, refreshing mix of greens and fruits in a tasty honey sauce, which I enjoyed to the last bite. Then I had a second first plate, the beef meatballs with Parmesan, which complimented the salad wonderfully. I treated myself with sorbet for dessert and received a liquer on the house with the bill, which I found to be fair for the quality of the food, and the aesthetically pleasing serving. Reservation in.advance...
