El Jardín Secreto Madrid — Restaurant in Madrid

Very, very disappointed with this place. The same nachos as the ones that you can buy in the supermarket, with cheese flavor. The crepes were supposed to have Sainte Maure inside, but honestly I didn’t find any. The crepe was covered with something that was supposed to be gauda sauce and what finally tasted like bechamel. It killed the taste of everything else. I didn’t even finish it. I also took a dessert to have a broader vision of their cuisine. It was supposed to be a “new version” of tiramisu, but let’s be honest: to be named “new tiramisu”, it should have something, at least one thing, in common with the old tiramisu... It was not the case: no ricotta, no café, no cacao. I don’t really get why the word “tiramisu” appeared in the description. Moreover, everything was just stuffed with sugar. Sweetness is the only taste that describes what I’ve just eaten. Their food is full of chemicals and full of sugar. Their combinations poor and without taste. The only nice aspect of this place is the decor. Not enough for me to come back. I would have put zero...

El Jardine is a magical place to visit. The outside of the restaurant is lovely, however when we walked in, we were overwhelmed with the amazing atmosphere. The decor is truly outstanding. The attached pictures attest to that. We were warmly greeted and escorted to a lovely table. All the tables are lovely. We experienced the full bodied red wine. We had the artichoke dish. It was beautiful as you will see. It was delicious. The side accompaniment was so flavourful.

The voices of the diners was so happy.

We will return for our last night, we have been in Madrid for 2 months.

Do miss...

El Jardín Secreto is truly enchanting – it feels like stepping into a Studio Ghibli film brought to life. The atmosphere is magical, with soft lighting, countless carefully curated decorations, and cozy window alcoves with tables that make the place feel unique and intimate. It’s worth visiting for the location alone. The prices, in my opinion, are excellent, and the cocktails are well-crafted and enjoyable. Although I didn’t have the chance to try the food, the host was wonderfully kind and welcoming. If I ever return to Madrid, I would most certainly go back – it’s a place that...
