Arrocería Marina Ventura

Wow! What an incredible dining experience at Arrocería Marina Ventura in Madrid. The paella was absolutely amazing — full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and so authentic. The sangria was refreshing and balanced, the perfect pairing for our meal. And don’t even get me started on the desserts — each one was delicious and beautifully presented. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend this place if you’re in Madrid and craving a fantastic meal!

We got the duck and spinach salad, octopus and seafood paella. The paella was so good, honestly you only need to get the paella when visiting. The portion is very generous for the paella as it’s charged per head. However, there was very little duck in the salad and the octopus was not as tender as other places we’ve tried in Madrid. The sweet potato was also too sweet paired with the octopus. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and service was good. We did notice that most locals only come for the paella. We wished we knew this before, but still glad we got to try.

Great food in the heart of Madrid! The paella was absolutely delicious—authentic, rich in flavor, and perfectly cooked. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere made for a cozy, relaxed dining experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a true taste of Spanish cuisine. Will definitely be coming back!

We visited this restaurant with high expectations. The food was very good, though not extraordinary — we felt that for the price, we expected more value for money. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait several minutes for our table, which was uncomfortable given how hot it was outside. The service from the waiters felt a bit cold and distant, which didn’t help the overall impression. That said, we still managed to enjoy our time there and had fun in the end. With some improvements in hospitality and organization, this place could easily be a much better experience.

The place was nicely decorated and generally quite quiet. Servers were helpful despite some of them may not understand English fully. Food were on the higher price scale but tasted good enough to be worth the price. Both the seafood paella and the black rice (squid paella) took at least 40mins to be ready to serve so make sure you order early on. Personally loved the black rice the most. It was rich in taste and not too salty. The seafood was fresh and had a good texture.

The restaurant’s design is beautiful and elegant, with a warm atmosphere that adds so much to the dining experience. Highly recommended if you’re in the mood for authentic Spanish rice dishes in a lovely setting. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks 🙏

The incredibly delicious lobster seafood paella was the best I’ve ever had in Spain! The steak was also excellent. The service was outstanding—the waitstaff noticed my needs promptly and provided attentive care. When I accidentally spilled coffee on the floor, the server came to comfort me, saying it was no big deal, and cleaned it up. I was truly touched!

Gracious hosts. Excellent food. Very much enjoyed a nice rice dish with some rabbit and pollo in it. Our server, Carlos, was also equal parts attentive and considerate. 5/5 would dine here again (when in Madrid).
