Piantao Legazpi | Restaurante Argentino Madrid — Restaurant in Madrid

A rather standard Argentinian restaurant that does not stand out from any other.

The interior looks classy at first glance, but upon closer look is merely a Loft style design, which makes it look classy, yet does not really live up to it.

First thing which disappointed me the most (and I sincerely hope the owner will see this) is that i was literally forced to give my personal details: phone, name and surname; just to get in, as the hostess would not let us in without making an on-demand booking. Norlte that we were the only ones in the restaurant and it was at 14:00. Good thing i gave a fake number, or else i am convinced i would get marketing offers which 100% breaks the GDPR.

Waiters did a good job at assuming that we are foreigners, even though i spoke Spanish to them. They also tried being very sophisticated and classy, yet i was not in the mood for it and just wanted a bite to eat. So no comment here, service was good.

As per the menu, it is rather short. Salad options are indeed funny, like: rucula salad with parmesan. Literally 2 ingredients. Other options feature no more than 2 ingredients too, if you leave out the salsa.

Then you have an option of 5 different potatoes or batatas, 3 options of sausages and 8 cuts of meat.

I know Argentinian cuisine is not exactly very rich in variety, but if you came for a quick bit, not a full meal, not really a good option.

Food was ok, maybe sausages were a bit dry, but otherwise all in order.

Final verdict: not a bad place, horrible service and personal data scavenging upon entry, decent service of waiters, but overall atmosphere does not live up to the standard they are...

I recently had an exceptional dinner at Piantao, housed in a modern, industrial‑chic space with brick walls, leather chairs, and intimate lighting that gives you that cozy, upscale parrilla vibe. The open kitchen frames the wood-fired grill, letting you see each cut of meat char to perfection.

I started with smoked roast croquettes and empanadas—crispy exteriors hiding savory, juicy fillings, perfect bite‑sized introductions. Next came seasonal vegetables and a burrata‑tomato salad that felt fresh and well‑balanced, cleansing the palate before the main. For the stars of the evening, I sampled both an Argentine ribeye and a Wagyu A5 sirloin cooked medium‑rare. Both cuts were exquisite—tender, richly flavored, and flawlessly grilled over embers as visible from my table.

Accompanying sides—creamy sweet potato with cane sugar glaze and perfectly crisp fries—added character without overshadowing the meat. My meal finished on a high note with dulce‑de‑leche cheesecake and lemon‑meringue tart, light and satisfying.

Service was polished but unpretentious. The staff recommended cuts based on my taste, paced the courses thoughtfully, and ensured my wine glass was always topped up. Despite its high quality, some reviewers note that prices skew toward premium—which I found fair for the experience and craftsmanship .

Piantao Legazpi strikes a beautiful balance: Argentinian-style fire-grilled meats, contemporary ambience, and thoughtful hospitality. It’s a prime choice for steak lovers in Madrid—I can't...

Yeehhh, Influencers!! Qué marcha?! Hoy toca Piantao & Kyoshi @piantao_es @kyoshi_ricardosanz. Un 4 manos, celebrado en Piantao Legazpi 1️⃣. Recordemos que es un #SitioDeBien de @mahou_es

El pienso del día: 2️⃣ Sopa de miso al rescoldo. Un gustor muy bueno, el punto final es algo picante. Muy rico. 3️⃣ Sogizukuri de pez🐟 limón🍋 con salsa de pimientos asados y okra. Una crema de pimientos muy rica y el pez limón se deshacía en la boca. 4️⃣ Choripan🍞 del siglo XXI. Un bollo preñado de toda la vida pero en este caso, es un pan bao. Acompañado de un chimichurri top. 5️⃣ Usuzukuri de toro🐟 vs vaca🐄 vieja. Contrastes de sabores y texturas. Toro era pura mantequilla. Vaca más firme aún así tierno. Semos del team toro. 6️⃣ Gyoza de vacío ahumado con jugo de berenjena. En el vacío se notaba muchísimo el toque a humo. Muy rico.

En próximos días, continuará.

🛎️🛎️🛎️ PIANTAO & KYOSHI, MADRID 🛎️🛎️🛎️

Seguimos con el 4 manos entre Piantao & Kyoshi @piantao_es @kyoshi_ricardosanz.

2️⃣ Atún🐟 rojo🔴 marinado con espárragos🌾 asados y alioli ahumado. Taquitos de atún muy bien maridado con soja y wasabi. Top!!! 3️⃣ Degustación nigiris; en orden abajo arriba. Vieira🦪 con mantequilla ahumada. Espectacular, el mejor sin duda. Ventresca de atún y brasa viva. Producto top, se deshacía en mantequilla. Molleja🐄 a la brasa y crema de lima. Muy bien, tiernita. Toque humo interesante. Entraña con chimi de shiso, en mi caso sin chimi, quizá con el chimi hubiera sido top. El producto bueno.

4️⃣ Merluza🐟 de pincho marinada en ponzu y arrope. Un punto bien y su toque maridado. 5️⃣ Tonkatsu de wagyu argentino sobre arroz a la brasa. Pa’ nuestro gusto, el más flojo. Sin mucho más. 6️⃣ Arroz🍚 frito, quesada de maíz y crema helada de matcha. Arroz crujiente, quesada bien y crema helada muy top. 7️⃣ Alfajor. Bien sin mucho más, para acompañar el café.

●Conclusión: Menú degustación con reserva inicial. Precio era 90€/pax con maridaje. Entendíamos que sólamente era el vino. También nos un incluyeron unas @mahou_es, que tomamos antes. Aunque el precio es elevado para un ticket medio, salimos encantados. Parte de Kyoshi muy bien, en la parte de Piantao, echamos en falta dar más guerra, aunque no se le puede poner ninguna pega. ●Relación C/P: Despegándose del media. ●Repetir? Sin dudarlo en ningún momento.
