El pato mudo;cocina del mediterráneo S.L.

We booked El Pato Mudo for our final evening in Madrid and we were not disappointed. The service was fantastic and the kind gentleman went through the menu with us and explained things in detail. The fried aubergine for starters were a delight, so fresh and sweet with a hint of honey. The rice was perfectly cooked and so full of flavour. The restaurant had a nice feel to it and we've said we'd definitely go back to try a different paella. Delicious

Had a good time with family and friends. Food (particularly the arroz with squid ink) was very good. No atmosphere though. The cheesecake wasn't any good.

This restaurant is a true treasure! The paella was absolutely amazing—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked with the ideal balance of ingredients. The tapas were equally outstanding, each dish offering unique, delicious flavors. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was impeccable. If you’re looking for authentic and unforgettable Spanish cuisine, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

This restaurant was truly amazing. The waiters are top form and the food was a wonder. We started with salad that they recommended which turned out to be fish noodles kind of salad (we’re not sure though) but it was magic. Next we ordered two paellas, one with seafood and the other one with black squid ink sauce. Both were great. Overall gonna revisit again if come back to Madrid. Big Recommended ❤️❤️❤️

It's a cute place with rustic Mediterranean decor. We had an amazing paella but the most important discovery was the mouth watering caldoso, soupy seafood rice pot. I was suspicious when my friends ordered it but Oh! My! God! The soup was bursting with seafood flavours! We finished the whole pot! We wanted to go back before my friends leaving Madrid but very unfortunately they close on Mondays and Tuesdays. Well there's a great reason to come back to Madrid now! Also appreciate that they don't force bread on the tables and it's optional on the menu. Very nice gesture worth coming back! Absolutely 5 stars! I'm really happy to know this place to bring my friends to next time I have visitors!

Food and service are good, although it is a little bit pricy

Appalling people- closed the kitchen before we arrived in spite of our booking DO NOT TRY THIS RESTAURANT. 31 July 2025: Unacceptable response from business. My party of 13 arrived with a booking and were turned away because the kitchen was closed. This is extremely poor service. If employees have schedules it is up to the restaurant to ensure bookings do not impact their staff, not for customers to guess whether their booking will be honoured or not. Advice for the business if they want to improve their reputation: avoid bookings that will impact employees and customers.

Petite joint with some great seafood choices and starters. Nice and friendly staff. Paella was good. Though I would have preferred "cleaned" version but that's not available everywhere. Liked the no wifi signs all around.

A little hidden gem! Great rice dishes at this restaurant (have fun if you choose the delicious black rice, infantile I know but your tongue and teeth will go black). Friendly service, quaint interior, family friendly. I saw Carlos Sobera there once, which threw me, as I had a strange crush on him (you'll understand what I mean if you've ever seen ?Quieres ser milionario?). Go here if you're in the neighbourhood (eg Palacio Real, Opera, Callao, Sol). I think it's closed on a Mondayso don't go then!
