Restaurante Cantalejo — Restaurant in Madrid

Never go to a restaurant, if the waiter is appealing you on the street. This was the lesson I had to learn today. I was wandering around for too long and got in this restaurant as I was just too hungry. It is obviously a tourist trap. As the paella took like 20 minutes I decided to have aspargus for a starter. You could think these are fresh in May, but they serve it out of the can. Same for the paella, the ingredients did not seem very fresh and it was just no good food. The waiter was not even asking me how it was, I suppose he knows why. Finally they charged me bread I did not even have. Bad restaurant, really not...

If you are a tourist looking for a real authentic Madrid culinary experience, this would be the place. It's where the locals relax, celebrate and enjoy great food. Home cooked dishes amd great Tapas. Value for money. Love it....

Hemos ido 4 veces. La primera quedamos impresionados con la rapidez, la atención, la comida, el precio, hasta nos dieron un minibombón helado... La 2 vez genial, la 3 ok y la 4 mal. No nos atendian a mesa, total que nos levantamos a la barra. El pan de pueblo que antes era reciente, ahora está fofo, les pido alioli y limón para los calamares y me lo dan mirando de reojo, en vez de traermenos la comida a la mesa, nos chillaron desde la barra qur ya teníamos los pinchos, estaban crudos, tuvimos que pedirles que nos los pasaran más. En fin...si te gastas un dineral te atienden bien, si te gastas 20€ o menos te stienden mal. No volvemos,...
