Restaurante La Traviata — Restaurant in Madrid

The atmosphere is very nice. Wood walls that are highly polished. Old beams line the ceiling. The music is nice and not loud.

The service is very good. The waiters are attentive. Not speaking any Spanish we were able to easily convey our order.

The food was delicious. We ordered from the daily menu. They gave us a baked potato and cream on toast as a tapa. Then a basket of fresh bread arrived. Our starters were spaghetti with prosciutto and tomato/buffalo mozzarella salad. Our main courses were chicken wings with potatoes and peppers and Iberian tender loin with potatoes and pepper. For dessert we had carrot cake and apple pie. All of it was delicious. The carrot cake was exceptionally moist. The apple pie had cream on the bottom.

The three course meal was only 17€ per person an exceptional value compared to other...

They also charged 3 euro per person for bred that was solid as rock, so nobody ate it.. They also charged extra 10% for sitting outside, but never mentioned that when they were sitting us. The food was OK. Not.hing special, but for sure not worth the money we...
