Rocacho Plaza Restaurante & Brasas — Restaurant in Madrid

It's always a shame when you come away from a restaurant thinking more about the staff (one in particular) than the food. The food is very good, and the wine. Although I'd recommend ordering your steak a level higher than usual because the medium-rare was very rare. But the maitre'd... either he doesn't enjoy his job, or his tight suit is uncomfortable, or something else is putting him in a permanently gruff mood with his clients. And don't try to ask him for something once he's seated you. Ooooh no. And it rubs off because there seemed to be few smiles from the rest of the team. The ambience echoed this seriousness with €1,700 whisky on display in a single glass cabinet. So maybe we hit a bad day at the office. Like I said, the food is good and the setting is great, so it's worth a visit for...

We were passing by an we stopped to check the menu, we liked it so we asked for a table for two. We ordered the DELICIOUS beef jerky and the prawn carpaccio, both delicious together with a bottle of wine. To finish a paella for two people, very nice too. Although the coffee should be improved since it tastes more like water than coffee and the service too. At first they seemed to be attentive but when they took the order they just abandoned us. We had to serve ourselves the wine and water, during the lunch since no one came to check, we had to go inside to ask for the coffee and the bill, since nobody checked us if we needed to order something even after leaving the dessert menu for us. The tip we left was definitely for the food not for the service.

Went shopping around the area and seen the terrace. We went in and had one of the best lunches I’ve had in years. We had everything from paella to chuelta de vaca which is like a tomahawk steak at home. We also had a mixture of starters. I loved the red prawn croquettes and the toritilla of Cecinna of ox. Both dishes I’d not normally try but fantastic recommendations from our waiter. We went all out and had a bottle of Tattinger as well. When on holidays we thought we might as well. We’ve been at the other restaurant near the berneabeu. I think we’ll try that again at the weekend which was a great option when the football is on. Overall fantastic meal and it’s the food you come to Madrid and hope to stumble upon. The little hidden gems only the...
