B13 bar — Restaurant in Madrid

We went to the bistro with anticipation, because the ratings sound really promising. We came to the restaurant at 8:30 p.m., where a very bad-humored waitress stood behind the counter. When ordering, she is chewing gum and seemed a bit in a bad mood. We ordered onion rings and Hummus as a starter that were really delicious. BUT: When the Dürum and the Baguette came we were just shocked. The seitan in both was spongy and tasteless. It felt like the baguette had only three ingredients: pimentos, saitan and bread. It was really hard to eat. I can't understand the good reviews at all. When we managed to eat the main course, we wanted to have the rest of the fries, the 4 writing bread, the rest of the onion rings and the hummus packed. That was apparently a mistake: the bad-mood waitress literally slammed the packed food on the counter. I just felt so uncomfortable in the situation.

Basically, whatever you call it, it's still deep-fried bar food, but it is what it is and I...

This is my favorite vegan restaurant in Madrid city center. Kebab durum is my personal favorite as well as bocadillo con seitan. I also tasted tortilla, burgers and patatas bravas and all of them worth to try.

Place order and pay at the counter.

Be prepared to wait since there are only 5 tables in the dining area due to covid restrictions. But you won’t regret waiting after you try this delicious food.

For the same reason if you are already in and noticed that there is a huge line outside, please just eat and leave. You can have long conversations with friends somewhere else.

Due to the small capacity we have to be considerate of the other people waiting who cannot order takeaway food. As well as help this small business to increase...
