Las Tortillas de Gabino — Restaurant in Madrid

A charming restaurant located in a quiet neighbourhood where the ambience is calm and inviting. The food we had was very well made and nicely presented and served. It's our impression that sharing is what's most common as waiters serve you from the main serving dish. We didn't didn't know this so it was difficult to anticipate how much food we each should order. For two people, I'd recommend two starters, one tortilla to share, and one main ("after") to share. Our favourite dishes were the razor clams and truffle tortilla, so highly recommend trying both. The iberian meatballs were also incredible. A few low points were that we bought a bottle of wine, and noticed fruit flies in my glass after the wine was poured. We pointed out it to the waiters and asked for a new glass. We weren't compensated for the glass of wine that we "lost" and also had to pay for bread that we didn't eat - it was already on the table when we arrived, so we had no say in the matter. I found the service lacking considering these aspects. Aditionally, the experience with the waiters was very mixed. One stood out as very welcoming whereas other were not so much. The food was worth 5-stars but the varied service experience is enough for me to consider this a 4-star...

My wife and I dined there during a recent trip to Madrid. We arrived at 9:15PM on a Monday. to a few occupied tables in the main room. Olives and bread quickly came to the table. We ordered still water and a little later a bottle of San Clodio Ribeiro. For starters we had the ensaladilla rus and green beans in pea cream. Both were generously portioned and delicious, though if pushed I would say we preferred the green beans, which had slices of sautéed garlic. For mains my wife had breaded grouper with ratatouille and I had curry chicken with sliced vegetables (squash and zucchini]. Again, both were delicious. My chicken, with a crispy skin and generous fat, was perfectly cooked. The star of the meal, though, was the ratatouille, which was among the best I’ve ever had. Fair warning that the grouper is also generously portioned. For dessert we split lemon sorbet served in a flute with cava.

Truly a...
