Heladería Sienna Narváez — Restaurant in Madrid

Update 26 February 23- It has been a while we haven’t been there. Very disappointed by the staff behavior : my son asked for the smallest cup size with some Nutella and instead of saying, yes but we just have to put it in a bigger cup so the Nutella won’t fall they said he couldn’t have any so then he asked why and they said that if he wanted It he would have to pay for the bigger size plus the price of the Nutella: why say no when you can just say that instead. Plus the amount of Nutella they gave him was a smaller amount then what the other staff gave his sister. AND EXTRA: the ice cream wasn’t even good tasted slightly artificial

——— 2019 review :5 stars 100% recommended. Worth a craving detour from Retiro. And very very fairly priced (Madrid these days is crazy with tourism inflation) Super friendly staff (they allowed us to come in with our puppy as long as it was not an issue with the others customers). Ice creams : we had hazelnut flavor. Great. It makes me want to come back when I think about it! Waffles with...

This could well be the best ice cream shop in Spain. The flavours are intense yet natural. You have a wide choice of flavours to choose from including some very original ones but traditional flavours are also well represented. The "chocolate negro" and "dulce de leche" flavours are great but my personal favourite is Sambayon. It's originally an Italian flavour which includes egg yolk and Marsala wine within the ingredients. This is a really hard flavour to find in Spain and probably around Europe, and I first discovered it in Argentina. The Argentines are, in my opinion, the masters of ice cream making, even ahead of the Italians. Sambayon flavour ice cream is really popular in Argentina. And guess where the owners of Heladería Sienna Narváez are from? You guessed...

WHAT TO TRY?!!

Their ice cream!! One of the more inexpensive ice cream places in Madrid, there's a lot of flavors to choose from. They really give you a hefty scoop of ice cream too. The best thing is their cone. It's also very crunchy because they make their cones almost daily.

I had a difficult time deciding what flavors to get though. I really liked the Buenos flavor because I'm a hazelnut fan. But they have a good selection of sorbets as well so if you're lactose intolerant, don't fret!

LAST TIP?!

Make sure you try out their flavors before you choose a flavor. They tell me the vanilla yogurt with cherries is a fan favorite so if you have difficulty deciding, maybe give this...
