Restaurante Tragabuches — Restaurant in Madrid

We went on a Saturday and the restaurant was empty. It quickly filled up afterwards. We ordered a mojito and croquetas with cheese and jamon. These were very good and home-made (I think). Then we went for an entrecôte and a piece of matured meat. A bit pricey but it's supposed to be a very good piece of meat. Both were very very chewy and lacked flavour. I was very disappointed because you can find a better piece of meat in a BAR. Service was ok but I think they had a misunderstanding, one waiter took our order for the drinks, another for the starters and another for the main.

We found this place by coincidence when staying at a hotel around the corner. We called in for a drink and stayed for a meal.

The food is amazing and promptly served. The highlight for me was the prawn, avacado, mango and wakame dish which was really well balanced and seasoned to perfection.

The steak I had was also delicious as was my partner's burger.

The service was friendly and the staff were incredibly tolerant and helpful with my spanish language skills, or rather the lack of them.

I heartily recommend...

A fantastic hidden gem. We were staying at a very nearby hotel and didn't want to go far for dinner - very glad we stumbled upon this place!

Food was absolutely excellent, one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The service was friendly and prompt, and they didn't get annoyed at our embarrassing Spanish skills.

Allergens are very clearly pointed out on the menu which was excellent as I was dining with a lactose intolerant person.

If you're in the area definitely...
