Restaurante El Labriego | Comida Madrileña en el centro — Restaurant in Madrid

Supposedly now a tourist trap, I found no evidence of this. I ate here and was incredibly well looked after, some reviewers have suggested that this is not a "local place for local people" anymore. Well, possibly, but I was the only tourist in the first night I was there, the food was amazing, just over generous, reasonably priced, and served with friendly, polite and accommodating hospitality. If you want to be ignored and deliberately misunderstood, go to somewhere else, lots of places seem to take pleasure in hiking the drink sizes, or generally being unfriendly, this place has excellent, genuine, generous food at reasonable prices. Maybe the "Madrid" experience is to be ignored, treated like a hindrance, but I felt so comfortable and safe, the quality of food is very very high, but they're happy to let you hang out for a beer as you watch the match. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THUS PLACE HIGHLY...

We stumble upon this hidden gem. It was quiet and I think we were the only foreigners there. We were greeted by this sweet waitress, Jessica and what a service she provided with a beautiful smile. The paella was fabulous and so super filling for 2 pax. We also had the calamari and I can say it's the biggest one we have had so far. A cerveza and a tinto de verano plus MTV RnB songs were a great combination to seal the night. It is located within Gran Via but at the busy street behind. 3mins walk from Room mate Macarena. This is definitely a place I will come...

My wife and I found this gem while looking for authentic Spanish food in Madrid. We were greeted right at a door by very friendly staff and seated right away. Carlos was extremely welcoming and not only explained food choices on the menu, but also constantly checked on us to make sure that everything is well. Sangria we ordered was made in house and was amazing. Zamburiñas was to die for, and paella was great. Loved the atmosphere and very friendly staff, that made us feel like home. Would highly recommend to everyone and definitely coming back on our next...
