César Las Ventas — Restaurant in Madrid

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!! HYGIENE LEVEL 0! We ordered Cesar salad, coffees and a coke. My friend found a curly ginger hair that she started pulling from the bottom of the plate. I told her wait let me call the waiter. I called the waiter explaining him in Spanish what we found and showed him- we pulled the whole hair in front of him . The hair was curly ginger hair. He started arguing with us that this hair was my friends hair ( she has straight white hair that was tied in a ponytail) we continued arguing with him that this is not her hair. He was being rude and extremely entitled, not apologising ,not offering to change the salad and not offering any sort of compensation for this! Instead he kept on blaming us evene though clearly the hair was completely different than any of our hair. We asked for the Bill and said we don't want to pay for the salad (the salad was not eaten even half way through!) It was not for the money but he could act in a normal civilised way, but no - he chose violence and being rude! I even insisted on checking up the cameras- he refused! He took the full payment and left without any apology! Avoid this place, we've been to many places and never had any problems or such a disgusting service and most importantly attitude towards us! Absolutely DISGUSTING!!!!!!! Avoid this place...

I was passing through because i have a job to do near there .

we enter for a little coffee around 10am and there was a very attentive waitress.

The place is very nice and is decorated with spanish style with bulls. Very traditional.

I came back there at 3pm and the waitress was still there. When we came back anptjet time for a few beers at 11pm the woman was still there. We asked her if she had a split shift and we were shock when she said no. And she confess us that she barely had 15 minutes to eat during this crazy shift!!!!!

Is it that we are crazy??

As far as I know, slavery was abolished in Spain years ago. It is inhuman for a person to work more than 14 hours a day like that.

It may be a tourist place and the food is good, but treat your staff like this? Hire another waiter.

Then the hotel industry complains that they can't find waiters. What a shame!!!!!

The cherry on the cake was that in the morning a Coke was 3 euros and at night...

CESAR, Padre, supo hacer de su restaurante un lugar de encuentro entre la tierra y el mar, y hoy, sin saberlo, he sido atendido con gran profesionalidad y humanidad acompañada de sempiterna sonrisa y mirada capaz de rescatar a un hombre de sí mismo y ser ese odre donde verterse para luego beberse a sí mismo, por Vanesa, hija del dueño, que junto a su hermano, llamado como el padre, CESAR, regentan el mismo como uno más del personal, y Vanesa, siendo consciente de lo que lleva entre sus manos, me recomienda los "huevos rotos", servidos con toda expresión y delicadeza de las manos de la cocina, Sumeya, reflejando la misma, un bioma de ideas culinarias. Esta primavera, de oro y lluvia es una estación sabia y de buen consejo. Y es una buena estación para la gastronomía. La dehesa y su secreto ibérico, como los buenos pastos gallegos y el mar y su lubina, hacen la transición de los placeres inocentes de la primavera a los goces sólidos y suaves del verano en una tarde de toros. CESAR y todo su personal, son el reflejo perfecto del talento, del arte y la cultura de este restaurante, sin olvidarme de Fran, que antes del anochecer, deleita la carne en su perfecto estado a la piedra, como premisa para que la noche no se rompa, abriendo su sabor a la tauromaquia, pues para mí, el mejor rabo de toro de toda España, se come en este Restaurante, y además, conserva las 3 "B": BUENO, BONITO y BARATO. La Tauromaquia de Las Ventas y CESAR, van de la mano del alma que sigue alimentando la divina ambrosía de los ideales con sazón y fundamento. A quien lea esta reseña, le recomiendo que deguste su menú y carta, no le dejará indiferente, porque comerá más de lo que esperaba y más de lo que deseaba. Y le digo, durante las próximas horas, ingerirá, grasas, sal, azúcar, proteínas, bacterias, hongos, varias plantas y animales, y en alguna ocasión, hasta ecosistemas enteros, pero, he de suplicarle una cosa, solo una; que no coman, degusten, saboreen, deléitense, aprecien cada bocado que introduzcan en su boca, sean conscientes, pero no coman. Este menú es demasiado preciado para eso. Miren su entorno bajo las miradas profundas del toro bravo, porque hasta el rabo,...
