La Desayunería — Restaurant in Madrid

Before I get into why I've left a three-star review, I'd like to point out that the service was excellent. Absolutely no complaints there.

My issue has to do with the false advertising on La Desayunería's new menu.

Context: We've always been big fans of La Desayunería, particularly for their pancakes (which are or, at least until recently, were the best American-style pancakes you could get in Madrid) and their marvellous skillet potatoes, drenched in cheese and sprinkled with generous doses of onions and peppers.

In fact, the first photo, taken back in August 2021 during one of our first visits to their Chueca location, features these very potatoes. They were so delicious, the skillet potatoes alone were enough to convince my partner to pay numerous repeat visits over the following three years, with and without at least half a dozen friends who we also converted into loyal customers.

Fast forward to today, about six months since our last visit. Besides the fact that prices of most dishes had increased an average of $2 to $4 in the interim, the skillet potatoes we ordered today did not remotely resemble our favorite dish (exhibit B: the second photo I've shared). Can the real skillet potatoes please stand up?

Not only were these alleged "skillet potatoes" a sad, microwave-reheated attempt at home fries, they were a world away from what La Desayunería had previously advertised as skillet potatoes.

I never imagined you guys would stoop this low, but I'm afraid that today I was deeply...

The Avenger is known by smashing and destroying pancakes, reason why he told me, the storyteller to pick a pancake place and let him know, that's what I did.

He wants to throw a Divorce Party for his Divorce Tour in Madrid, and in his last podcast episode, "How to Throw a Divorce Party and Ignore being Alone" he told about the power of pancakes which he started liking by watching The New Day, a wrestling faction composed by Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E. He feels the power of positivity and how people are happy by consuming them.

If you're looking for healthy pancakes this is not your place, I was looking for that, but on the other hand, if you're looking for diabetes and sugar rush, this is your place, the service is pretty fast, which would let The Creator happier than ever, it would be even quicker than he would get back to "action" , and they keep you hydrated by giving you a glass of water, the only non-sugary thing.

Ventilation system is quite good, if you wanna work there's space, and music is from your God's playlist, of course! The bathroom it's mixed but big, you can relax inside while changing your diaper.

In general pretty good, and in an area with a lot of options, Throw your party and have...

It was a terrible experience. I came with my husband. I had a burrito from another store, they saw me coming in with it and said nothing. They waited until I started eating and then they wouldn't stop looking at me. After debating between the waitresses and laughing, they decided to send someone to tell me that according to the restaurants policy, I was not able to eat the burrito because it was from another establishment. I asked to speak to the manager, to what they said, he was not here. I asked then to see this policy in a written format to which they went to the back and tried to find it. After a while, they came back and said that "the book" was missing but that I really needed to stop eating or leave. At that point I stood up and left to finish eating outside. When I came in the waitresses were once again laughing and giggling between them. The disrespect and lack of professionalism was incredible: worst place in...
