La Favorita Madrid

The food was okay, but the show and service were fantastic. We enjoyed a lot.

Unique, amazing and for sure an experience you need to try.

Another Chamberí gem. I’m not going to lie it’s a bit above average in terms of price (they have 2 menus : 50€ & 70€ ). But it’s totally worth it, apart from the fact that menus have a soup , a fish , a meat and a dessert (free flow wine and bread). All very well executed. But the important here is the fact that the lovely staff of this establishment sings OPERA . So don’t miss the chance of enjoying an unforgettable night with you loved ones at La Favorita.

Amazing place. Waitresses & Waiters sing Opera, Arias and Zarzuelas and are such nice people transmiting their happiness. Great food / menu too. A must visit if you are in Madrid and or if you want to impress your guests or date!!

There is no other restaurant like this. I have never seen staff starting to sing opera, especially on a level like this!! Amazing is an understatement.

Great place! You have the chance to experience live, opera songs with the performers next to you. The opera performers are also your waiters. The food is not exceptional though.

The atmosphere is absolutely amazing! A lovely little courtyard outside for a few drinks before you go inside for your meal. Along with your meal, there are some amazing live performances from the staff. A pianist plays the piano live and there are a few people who will sing live opera to you. Its fairly pricey but not extortionate and its worth the experience . The decor could do with an update and maybe some ironing is required for the table cloths. You do need to book in advance as this place is fairly petite and with covid they are running at a slightly lower capacity. For our dining experience we only had one other table occupied in the restaurant so its a very intimate experience! It was amazing. I would go back again for the experience.

A great experience! Young opera singers will delight you with arias and great conversation. Food is good, but not the main attraction.

Wow! We found out about this place from a person we met a bar. They said that the waiters sign opera to you? What? Sign us up! We made the reservations online the same day for a 9pm seating. The food was delicious, the singing was even better! I didn't realize it would be a 3.5 hour event, so plan to be there for a long time. We didn't leave the restaurant until 1130pm!! Prices are up there, but it's worth the experience. This is a great place for a birthday (yes they will sing to you), anniversary, or just want to do something different! it is a MUST in Madrid!

We dined last night with a group at La Favorita north of the city center, a place known to local Madridians but not a main tourist venue. What a special experience it was! The restaurant is quietly elegant, comfortable, with excellent wait staff. The food was good. We started with bread and a smoke eggplant spread which was an unusual flavor for us. Our pate was some of the best we've ever had. We had the pork entree and the hake. The pork was NOT overcooked! Dessert was a creamy tiramisu. Throughout our meal, one particular waiter and waitress, classically trained in opera, would sing arias for our enjoyment - some familiar Italian pieces and one piece from a Spanish opera. On one number, they encouraged audience participation by singing "Lalala" with the melody. The ambience at La Favorita made for a delightful dining experience!
