Los Chuchis — Restaurant in Madrid

Me and some friends went here last weekend in a tracking down of the quintessential English Sunday roast. The five of us have been living in Madrid over the last couple of months and we were looking for a taste of home. Los Chuchis is an English cuisine-inspired bar in central Madrid serving a variety of dishes as part of a menu del día. We were given a choice of four starters (pate, roasted potato skins +2 more that I can't remember) and four mains (roast pork, roast chicken, fish soup, veggie curry). We all opted to go for just the roast pork. With a drink included this was 13.50€, but it would have been 10.50€ during the week.

The pork was absolutely delicious. It was perhaps a little stingy on the potatoes and lacked other accompaniments but the texture was fantastic, it came with a gorgeous piece of crackling and a bit of apple sauce on the side. Delicious, we all really enjoyed! The plate seemed a bit small at first but we all seemed to be absolutely knackered after polishing off our plates... and I'm sure we would have been even more stuffed had we had a first course as well.

The decor was cute and the staff were friendly. Most only speak Spanish but one of the waiters was English. I will definitely be coming back, and next time I will be going midweek, due to it being cheaper, and will be having both first and second courses i.e. the full menu. Looking...

I booked a dinner for three at this restaurant. I have to say, I've lived in the UK in the past and I really enjoy British food. But the dishes served in this restaurant are better than most of the meals that I've tried in average British pubs. We ordered three dishes (grilled camembert, fried potato scraps and the shepherds pie) and we enjoyed every las bit of them. The rations were large enough for the three of us to be perfectly satisfied. We also tried two desserts and both were outstanding: none of them felt too sweet, but they were tasty and really original for us. The staff was really friendly, efficient without rushing the customers. And they have some imported British beers that will feel like heaven for those who seek this kind of drink. The music and general atmosphere is one of the best in the area: the place never felt too noisy or uncomfortable, even with all its tables occupied. We absolutely loved our dinner at Los Chuchis and we'll...

We had been travelling Europe a few weeks and had gotten all of our things, including wallets and passports stolen in Barcelona. Exhausted, sad and stressed we took the next train to Madrid for an emergency passport.

Whilst waiting for the emergency passport we walked around Madrid and had lunch at Los Chuchis.

We immediately felt comforted by the cozy atmosphere, the warm and tasty food (more homey than restaurant food - which was just absolutely perfect after weeks of travel), and a friendly host who spoke English. We had the set menu, which filled us with all the necessities; vegetables, a hearty shepherd’s pie, a well-portioned and not too sweet dessert.

Good food, but more than that; instant comfort...
