Bar La Gloria — Restaurant in Madrid

Delicious food, ideal space for events, super friendly staff After having eaten several times and having tasted its delicious traditional, but with a personal and contemporary touch menu, we decided to celebrate a birthday party in its space reserved for 30 people. All our guests were delighted. La Gloria gave us all the facilities to adjust the event to our needs and budget, being able to participate in the design of the cocktail-menu and the number of drinks we wanted to serve. Although the space is already very nice and decorated with good taste, they allowed us to personalize it slightly to give it a birthday party touch, as well as we could play our own musical background selection. Throughout the event the staff was very friendly and always open to meet our needs. After doing a extensive search for places in Madrid, La Gloria undoubtedly offers a value for money that is very difficult to improve. We will repeat for sure. Highly...

My husband and I happened upon this restaurant and we're so glad we did. The food was incredibly and the service was wonderful!

We got the patatas bravas, sandwich (Chicken escalope, green pepper and mayonnaise), Baked oil cake with candied tomatoes from Almería, as well as a sardine dish on top of an amazing puree. We wanted to get one more thing, but our waitress ensured us we had enough :)) She was right, haha, but it was so so good!

Shockingly, us and one other couple were the only ones in the restaurant, but the food, service and ambiance was still perfect. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try!

Heads up for tourists that the menu is only available in Spanish, however we used the great power of Google, while also just choosing at random and nothing disappointed.

Thanks for a wonderful evening,...

We were thrilled when we got a reservation to have the famed paella (FYI, it's NOT with seafood, it's a traditional Valencian chicken paella). Also, it's only on a Sunday and you must reserve to have paella.

Unfortunately my husband found a really long, dark hair in his plate. We're not fussy diners but the waiter pretty much just shrugged when we told him and later asked us if we enjoyed the food.

Service wasn't great either -- we had to eventually signal to the waiter that we're ready to get paella because he seems to have forgotten about us.

From other reviews it sounds as if we were really unlucky but we would not recommend, especially if you don't speak Spanish (no English menus). On the plus side, the house wine (white) was...
