Viva Madrid — Restaurant in Madrid

I'm writing this review to let everyone know of what an amazing experience I had. When you go into viva Madrid, please ask for Oscar! What an amazing guy. Me and my boyfriend have been in Madrid for a couple days and everywhere we went. We were received with rude and disgusting attitude by servers at different establishments, But when we went to Viva Madrid, Oscar was our waiter for the night and he made our night one to remember. Very sweet and charismatic person. He told us the story of the bar, He told us which items to try with which drinks. And overall, he has a beautiful personality and energy. I hope that the next time I go back to Madrid, he still there. What an amazing person. That place is would not be the same without him. What a star. The food was absolutely delicious, The home made sangria was amazing and this drink called. " xo xo loco" Was super delicious. They give you these delicious paprika dusted potato chips when you sit at the table and those were so good we asked for more. Make sure you leave a tip although in Spain, it's not necessary, Oscar...

Such a cute place! The tile inside and out is beautiful. It looks tiny from the front windows but has another section upstairs with high top tables and low tables with comfortable chairs. Along with seating at a second beautiful bar.

It’s the first place I’ve found near me that has creative and tasty cocktails (along with beer and wine). It’s got a bit of a speakeasy vibe. I really enjoyed the music playing. Service was great. Super friendly and helpful.

We tried a few of the non traditional Spanish items. The chili con carne tacos were quite good. I really liked the cheese sauce (this is a compliment but it reminded me of velveta, very smooth). The arepas were also good. Three to an order. Good combo of slightly crispy arepa with shrimp and crab filling. The buns on the sliders were soft and buttery - yum! The burgers were tender and cooked medium(ish). I wanted a pickle or pickled jalapeños or something to add crunch and spice, but that’s personal preference.

Overall a great place for a cocktail and good food options if you’re hungry. And in a...

Finally, I had the chance to visit this place, a favorite of one of the Philippine National Heroes, Dr. Jose Rizal, and a spot frequented by Ernest Hemingway, who even wrote here.

The food we had was quite good and paired well with the drinks they offered. I just wish the bar incorporated more of its rich history into the menu and perhaps added some stories about its past to the walls, which would make it even more interesting.

We enjoyed some wine—Riviera, which had a soft taste, and Madrid, which was stronger, according to their descriptions. Some of the other drinks seemed expensive at EUR 12, but it might be worth trying at least one. For food, we had Gilda Viva Madrid, Taco con carne, and Scallops with ginger—everything was delicious, and I savored every bite.

The place offers outdoor, bar, and indoor seating. The indoor area is more suited for eating and drinking, with a great vibe and a perfect spot to hang out with friends.

The service was fast and efficient, and we...
