Lamucca de Prado

Dining at this Italian restaurant was a fantastic experience. The lively atmosphere didn't feel rushed at all, even with the full bar and kitchen working at full speed. The staff handled everything with ease, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable meal. The salad and shrimp were standouts—the flavors were well-balanced and fresh. I definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone who appreciates great food and attention to detail.

Their steak was awful, full of unchewable meat and fat. And it was the highest priced item on the menu. I refused to finish struggling through the meat. Even the potatoes were undercooked. The best things I ate were the mushrooms and the oxtail taco appetizer. Which for it being a shareable appetizer they literally give you two small tacos. What a disappointment. Don't bother coming here.

Downtown venue with rooms that are larger and more spacious than typical Madrid restaurants. I had a poke with tuna and then tarta de queso. Both very good. Prices are high, but considering the location it fits. Very friendly staff.

Firing on all cylinders! We just had a great lunch here. Although the restaurant was crowded, on our arrival they quickly cleared a table and seated us. We shared the Patacones with Guacamole for a starter and then ordered the Langostinas (shrimp) and Solomillo (Filet Mignon) also to share as mains. The shrimp was a highlight, it was served on a bed of avocado and pineapple salad. The Filet was a good size for sharing and was cooked as requested - medium rare. No room for dessert. Finally the service was quick and professional. Fully recommend this location of the Lamucca chain.

We ordered the patatas bravas, mezze, and ensalada verdisima. Everything was delicious, beautiful presentation, and good service. The patatas bravas were spicy but not overly spicy and nice flavor. The mezze - tabbouleh, baba ganoush, and hummus - they weren't traditional dishes (no bulgur wheat in tabbouleh, didn't taste much tahini in the hummus or the baba ganoush), but very tasty all of them! The salad had a very nice dressing, and the veggies were fresh. Would certainly order everything again.

The presentation of the food was good and it arrived in a decent time to the table. Nice and friendly staff and clean toilets.

What a place in the downtown of Madrid. It is really a cool place quite low key, like a Bristol. The ambience and the setting is super nice. The food choice and taste superb. Total value for money and you will enjoy a lot. Remember to book a table or you can’t find a table. Definitely recommended.

The food was amazing. I paid a reasonable price but sadly the service was not as good as I’d hoped for.

Convenient but Inconsistent Dining in Madrid Lamucca in Madrid stands out for its convenience, being open late and throughout the day without any breaks. However, our overall experience was mixed, making it hard to fully recommend. The menu offers a range of dishes priced between 15-30 euros, with decent portion sizes. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was inconsistent. Some dishes were barely edible, particularly the fish, which did not taste fresh at all. On the other hand, we enjoyed some of the other dishes, such as a tasty olive mix appetizer. This inconsistency was a major drawback. While the patatas bravas were decent, the tuna tartar was inedible, highlighting the restaurant's unpredictability. Lamucca's convenient hours might make it a viable option if you're looking for a late-night meal in Madrid, but the inconsistent food quality makes it a difficult place to recommend wholeheartedly. My Criteria: 5 stars: The best food I have ever had, or an excellent option given the price. 4 stars: Good food, a restaurant I look forward to trying again. 3 stars: Good food, a restaurant that I am indifferent to. 2 stars: Below average experience, will not go again. 1 star: This restaurant should be closed.

Service is a bit lagging but maybe that's just me and I'm not used to Madrid dining. The food does make up for it though. The octopus was so tender I wasn't sure I ordered the right stuff. The squid was delicious as well. Excellent inexpensive wine options by the glass. This place has a good vibe and terrific food that didn't feel at all touristy given its location just off La gran via.

Kid Concierge recommended this joint at Hotel. I should have known better! Think TGI Friday's in Madrid/ one and done & don't show me the menu. Talk much later.

Cool vibe, great music (80's tonight!). Sat at the bar and ordered steak, ceviche and pad Thai. The steak was great.

Came here for both lunch and weekend brunch, and thoroughly enjoyed my experiences. Would flag this as a go-to spot if I were a local. One of the best croquettes I had in my life, and their service is impeccable. Not traditional spanish food but they do mexican quite well!

PRETENTIOUS FAST-FOOD FOR DISINFORMED MIDLE AGED VICTIMS A lack-of-identity-kind of restaurant. The food is not totally terrible, but it seems to be a tutti-frutti of cliches. Pizza, burger, ceviche... one of each. All over the place, and nothing really remarcable. It is like spoiled teenagers opening their parents' freezer and choosing from a bunch of unhealthy Walmart best-sellers. Same with decoration. It looks like I-wrongly-believe--I-know-what-was-trendy-in-New York-20-years-ago. Oldish warehousish space, a lot of brick, tonet-imitating-chairs and abundance of carbon bulbs.... Not very exciting. THE PRIMARK OF RESTAURANTS (but not inexpensive) Overall, nothing really is superterrible here; in the sense that it is very unlikely that you get immediately sick by eating this food or spending time in this poor design. But we normally ask restaurants to do more than that, right? Restaurants like this, with super cliche tutti-frutti menus, and cliche retro decoration are providing a new notion of "pretentious-fast-food" for middle class middle aged people with no gastronomic culture. But this uncreative disengaged way to deal with a business kills the cultural, social and economic capital of a city. This has become a concerning trend in Madrid, mostly controlled by equally unsophisticated neoliberal investors, who normally do not have a gastronomic background, and who paradoxically see themselves as radical lefties because when they were 17 they spent six months in London and attend Amaral gigs. It is difficult to say if these gastronomy-and-design-blind publics are previous to these boring restaurants; or if it is the blatant dullness of these restaurants what produces these quality-ignoring publics. I believe the second option is what best explains how it works. That is how it worked for McDonalds, right? But ultimately, this is the Primark of restaurants. In a city like Madrid, with such a unique gastronomic ecosystem, even if you are someone dreaming about being in what a disinformed person thinks the New York of the 2000s was, it seems a real shame to put your time, your support and ultimately your money here.

What? You need to eat at a non-typical time in Madrid? Well my friend you are lucky AF as Lamucca is not only open "non-stop" but frickin tasty! We arrived jetlagged and starving after a 6 hour delayed flight (thanks Delta!). Our hote recommendation was to hije a few blocks uphill to this cozy corner spot. Decor was sexy n cozy, which as many who know Spanish ambiance is not always a sure thing (they love their fluorescent overhead lighting in most corner "bars"). The menu here is broad and filling. Raciones are BIG so maybe 2-3 for two peeps. Sitting at the bar? You can get food! Yay! And of course loads of wine and beer, and booz The hummus was just ok but two thumbs up on the generous pile of pimentos de padron and the tasty ball of buffala! TL/dr: Great, reasonable food available almost all day long.

Came here for dinner last night! We split a pitcher of tinto sangria amongst the three of us. It had lots of fresh fruit and was not overly sweet. We loved it! To eat - I got the crispy chicken sandwich, my mom got the Mediterranean salad, and my dad got the Iberian pizza. The chicken sandwich was perfectly crispy, tho a little bland. I added mustard and it was great. My mom's salad had almost equal parts lettuce and garbanzo beans which was a bit much for her. My dad loved his pizza! It was a nice sweet and savory combo with the fruit and meat. The ambiance was great and the staff was all very friendly. We enjoyed ourselves!

Loved this place. Great host super friendly. Nice wine and cocktails. Ordered the salmon poke bowl, oxtail beef tacos and ham croquettes. Lively atmosphere and stylish decor.

Visiting from Dallas and stumbled upon this place on a quiet street behind the Gran Via. We wanted to do the Spanish tapas thing and were not disappointed! We chose the grilled vegetables, shrimp scampi, calamari and risotto. More than enough for the two of us. Service was just okay. Not the friendliest staff but they did they jobs. The highlight for us was the sangria, which wasn't too strong or diluted, but just right and filled with diced apples and other fruit. Seems like locals were eating there (good sign) in additional to tourists. Loved it!

We asked the front desk of the hotel for a recommendation of a good restaurant that locals go to and she said Lamucca. I asked if she had been and she said that she and he boyfriend went many times so we went. Happy to report that it is very good food WTH an extensive menu and two can dine for 30 to 40 Euro quite nicely. I had pad Thai wand while it wasn't true to the dish it was delicious and satisfying. My wife had the margherita pizza with truffles and loved it. Great hidden gem with great food, we'll priced and definitely not a tourist trap!

Really like this place, a lot of options when you aren't sure what you want, been here several times and tried different things and always been very happy with what I got! Also responsibly priced.

A busy and popular restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. Went here for a quick dinner, had a cheese and cured meat board and then a pizza. The menu is a bit confused, some tapas, some Asian and then pizza as well. Overall, not bad, just fine. Still, a pleasant experience.

Fabulous place! Stays open later and the food is great. Variety is plenty. You can have a little bit of everything here. We each chose 2 entree with a salad as one choice. Everything taste great and the service was very accommodating!

The food was amazing! My boyfriend and I split a margarita pizza, tika nachos, and the OXTAIL RISOTTO! One of my new favorite dishes. The restaurant is gorgeous and walking distant from many hotels. Their drink menu is hefty, so there will be something to find for everyone! 10/10 would recommend!!!!

What I had on Monday was their special. I had the soup and the beef with beer. Closing it with an ice cream. The setting in side the restaurant was modern classic twist. I love the ambiance.

Delish! We had the Mediterranean salad, croquettes and the filet mignon..and a jarra de sangria! It's super popular so ale a reservation or try them for lunch if it's on the fly. So worth it!

I was initially disappointed with the menu given it seems to focus on pizza. I want d something more Spanish and so I went with the sea bass with vegetables which was outstanding. The fish was moist and juicy and the vegetables were all seasoned very well.

Great atmosphere and a large menu with modern takes on traditional tapas as well as other modern Latin cuisine. We had the onion soup, thai soup, tuna tartar and a sea bass ceviche. All was delicious and reasonably priced!

Lamucca is near the Catalonia las Cortes Hotel where my wife and I are staying. We have had lunch here twice. Both times they have been very busy which is a good sign. Their menu is somewhat eclectic with pad Thai and Vietnamese spring rolls -in Madrid! This made me a little suspicious however these suspicions were unfounded. Even though busy we were served promptly and the servers were friendly. The first visit my wife had the onion soup and I had a traditional Spanish tomato soup. Both were excellent. The next visit my wife had the onion soup again. I had the luncheon "menu" which consisted of a starter, main course, and desert. I had a salad comprised of frisée, baby arugula, pear slices, Brie cubes, and ham cubes. Excellent and I think I can successfully replicate this at home. For my main course I had squid in its ink with rice. The squid was tender and flavorful; however, the ink turns your mouth, lips, and teeth black (temporarily fortunately). I finished with a flan (after all I am in Spain). For those craving a hamburger, theirs appear very American and good. All in all very good food and service.

love the atmosphere and the service!! the staff are all extremely friendly and the decor is super trendy. delicious food and super yummy mojito i love that the menu indicates different allergies. i recommend making a reservation!!

Great service and food. Nice selection with variety and a break from all the ham and paella. Waiter was outstanding!

To be honest I'm not a big fan if spanish food in general, except for their olives, bread and sangria. I met a few friends here on a double date and the ambiance is great. It was a busy Sunday night and we had reservations, they sat us quickly and in a private area that was very nice and tucked away. We sat down and ordered drinks that come very quickly. A little tip when ordering drinks, the pitchers of sangria or tinto de verano (highly recommended) were not as good/strong and when you order just a glass. Soo keep that in mind. The meat is a european mix ... from pasta to some spanish classics, steak and seafood and curry. Something for everyone. The portions are a little on the small side (but only compared to massive american sized meals lol). Between two of us we shared 3 entrees... haha we are fatties. One of the meals was a chicken pad thai, while it was not terrible it wasn't great either... too much sauce, very little chicken and bland seasoning, not true to the dish and no veggies in it either. Defined skip it. A few things worth pointing, the spanish under season everything so get a side if their sea salt pellets and sprinkle everywhere. The spanish also like their steaks rare. If you ask for it medium it will be rare. Medium well will be more like medium. Service was friendly with multiple servers working all tables. But as customary in Spain they will usually only approach the table when called.

Great service, even better food! Make sure to call to a reservation! Exceeded our expectations!

Really excellent Sangria. Nachos were a good combo of tastes none overwhelming in the dish. Good burger and capriccio was excellent. Service was not the best but was adequate.

Food, Staff and energy was Great!! Had 1/2 Margarita-1/2 Chicken pizza and the Carrot cake (DELICIOUS!).

I came here for a Monday lunch after having walked past the restaurant a few times. The clinentele at this hour consists of pure business men and women giving the restaurant a hint of arrogance. Fortunately, I did not feel at all belittled by the bartenders or waiters serving me. I walked in without a reservation and was told that there would be a short wait until a table became available. I was told it would be a ten minute and was invited to have a drink at the bar. I knew I´d come to enjoy my visit after trying the white wine and the spectacular olives that came as a tapa. Before ten minutes had even passed we were sat at a nice table in the downstairs area. The ambience is elegant but reserved. The art and decorations are all on sale and you are encouraged to check out everything on show. My meal consisted of a menu del dia that did not disappoint. I had a nice light pasta salad followed by salmon dish that I found to be delicious. A strong coffee capped of the meal nicely. All for a fair price of 12 euros. I recommend this establishment if you´re looking for an upscale price without the exorbitant prices. ¡Aproveche!

Lamucca de Prado offers a wide variety of food for their costumers. It is a great place to stop for a quick bite, or sit down with friends for a meal, with a cute and pleasant ambience. Menu items range from salads to fish to meat to hamburgers, and everything in between. The times I have gone, I have ordered the black pizza, the onion soup, the filet mignon, the croquettes, the jamón, and the green mini bell peppers, which are my personal favorite. Everything always comes out freshly prepared, and the flavor of the Spanish food tastes authentic. I really like the mini bell peppers, as they are toasted and seasoned with salt, but still retain its juicy flavor. The black pizza is good as well, topped with mushrooms, olives, and roasted tomatoes. It is called pizza because it is cooked using a charcoal fire, making the crust a light black. The filet mignon is tasty, but make sure to ask for it to be cooked a little more than your usual order, as in Spain they tend to undercook the meat. There are many more things on the menu I want to try, and hope to come back to Lamucca soon.

Menu bland and staff awful! Our waiter took our order and it never came ... most likely because he was sitting with 4 other staff members, eating and checking his phone! Food was not worth mentioning!!

Outstanding restaurant..went here twice in our three-day stay in Madrid and was the best restaurant we went to. Excellent service and a wide range of delicious, healthy food options. Special shoutout to Pato and Carina for being excellent waiters. I reccomemnd the meat lasagna and the vegetable goat cheese appetizer.

Open on Monday night when everything else is closed!! Mussels are awesome, octopus carpaccio was fantastic. These two alone is worth the visit. Very lively after work crowd. Wait staff can be overwhelmed so you have to really flag them down. When packed, forget the table and go for the bar, it's full menu there too

Hotel and friend recommended... needed a quick bite. Did not disappoint. I will be back to try some of the main courses, but the ham pizza is what did the trick for this night. Excellent!

Nice, urban atmosphere. Friendly staff and great food. I tried Turkish Mezze which was really good and sufficient. While eating I enjoyed whatching trough the big windows. As a drink I had the arabic tea, which was fresh made and very very good - real morroco style! Prices are ok for what xou get. Staff changed all time, so the guy who brought us the meal was another then the one who came for taking our orders etc... Definitely worth trying!

Ask to go downstairs in the "cave- like area." It is intimate and great service there. You must, must, must have the Oxtail risotto. Common local dish that is so flavorful, seasoned perfectly and will make you cry because it is so good!

I want to be clear-I have not visited this place. I made rsvp well in advance prior my trip to Madrid and got an confirmation ##. Yesterday I received a cancellation notice from the restaurant. Hoping that this was a mistake I sent them email asking to reserve again and heard nothing back. Keep that in mind when planning your trip. You may find yourself looking for a place to eat in the last minute.

We had dinner here last night with the family. Although we just showed up without a reservation, they sat us pretty quickly in a restaurant that was quite full. The ambiance was very hip and charming. Our Airbnb host highly recommended the place and he didn't steer us wrong. We had sea bass ceviche, salad, black pizza, La Mucca beef burger and pan con tomates, with a bottle of Ribera del Duero to help the food go down. We walked out of there feeling happy and very satisfied. Good recommendation Ramon!

Very nice ambiance and eclectic selection of food. Great place to go if you're with a bigger group and can't decide on a restaurant specializing in a specific cuisine. The food was well prepared and the Spanish pepper tapas was excellent. The mussels, and the sea bass were also very good. They continuously shuffled the serving staff on us which was the biggest negative of the evening, it was especially annoying when the person who brought out our dishes was different than the person who took our orders and had no idea who had what, and since no one in our party spoke Spanish it took a couple of minutes swapping dishes for everyone to get the thing they ordered. The wine selection is solid, we went through 5 bottles, including on they touted as "the best in the world" unfortunately it didn't match up to a bottle we had from the day before. We even sent back one which wasn't very good and they were very gracious about it.

Overall: Really overpriced. The first thing to know about Lamucca is that it is incredibly popular and busy. Second, like many restaurants in Spain, the lunch hours are 1:30 to 4:00 PM (I think) and dinner hours are 8 or 8:30 PM to 2 AM (I think), so it won't be open if you try and go in between. It is not open continually from 1:30 PM to 2:00 AM as shown on in the business information. They observe the siesta, like most places in Spain. This isn't a complaint, just letting you know in case you're trying to go. Now when you combine those two things, you'll realize it's pretty hard to find a table when you probably want dinner. We showed up at about 8:30 PM on a Friday night and were told the wait was one and a half hours. Luckily there was some room at some of the bar tables, where they would also serve food, so we didn't have to wait that long. Our waiter was a nice guy who spoke a bit of English with an accent and he was able to take our order and get us started. For an appetizer we ordered toast with tomato, which we thought would be like a bruschetta. It was whole grain bread that wasn't toasted with a sort of chunky tomato salsa. It was all cold and kind of soggy, definitely not that great. For dinner we ordered the lamb chops, the steak (400 grams ~ 14 oz.), and the veal carpaccio. The lamb chops were tiny and there were very few, though the potatoes were really good. The steak was surprisingly larger than expected and was very good. The veal carpaccio was incredibly light, almost flavorless and pretty unsatisfying. For dessert we ordered two brownies, one with vanilla ice cream and one with banana ice cream, and a tiramisu. The brownies had lots of nuts and though they were priced with the ice cream, the ice cream was actually charged in addition to the expected price. The tiramisu was a bit more coffee flavored than I would have liked, but overall good. Overall, the only items that were to expectations were the steak and the tiramisu. For the amount that we ended up spending, it was a wholly underwhelming experience. I had many more impressive and less expensive meals just about everywhere we ate in Spain. If you're going, get the steak, but I would recommend finding somewhere else to eat.

Warm, cozy restaurant that will relax you after a long walk in the surrounding area. The spicy pepperoni pizza was simply delicious. One pizza is enough for three if you are not starving. Customer service is fast and courteous. Prices are very moderate. Long wait at night for dinner but lunch and early afternoon is not that crowded. Very good ambiance.

My niece and I had dinner here twice during our stay in Madrid in mid June 2015. Both visits were memorable. The food was delicious. Muy delicioso! The ambience is simpatico. Good service and genuinely nice waiters. My niece and I enjoyed our Lamucca experience very much! Muchas gracias!

Amazing restaurants excellent ambiance and amazing food definitely one of the beat in our visit to Madrid. Highly recommended for everyone that wants a good place to eat quick and heat flavors

I have been here many times, but in taking a former boss from NY who's in Madrid on business, it really shone tonight. The pizza with mushrooms and truffle was just amazing, and even though my guest ordered the solomillo well done, it melted in our mouths. The chicken pad Thai was also flavorful and as finally as close to the NY standard as I've been trying to find. Awesome!

Love the atmophere, lounge music, big windows, and amazing food; specifically the Mediterranean salad! The service is professional and smooth. Highly recommend.

First time in Madrid and this place has the best sangria in the whole city. No restaurant or bar can compare. We sat and had sangria here every day while in Madrid. Great patio and wait staff was top notch. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the beautiful city of Madrid.

Ate lunch here today and loved it. Thai chicken curry, nachos, chicken salad and even the burger ... all great. decor and atmosphere great too.

This place has a great atmosphere, and the food is great, too. The octopus was good, and the mango sticky rice dessert was my favorite. And, of course, the bread with tomato and ham was delicious.

After reading the past reviews we did not anticipate any trouble getting in on a Wednesday evening at 8 PM. Upon arrival we were advised one table available as long as we agreed to be finished by 10 PM. No problem, we took the table. Overall food was very good especially for the price and service was top-notch. The mix was eclectic, with a mixture of Spanish, Thai, Mexican, and more. By 9 pm every table on the floor was completely filled. For those looking for a decent place and a change from the routine Spanish menu I recommend ignoring the dated reviews and giving Lamucca a shot.

Just arrived tired and hungry in Madrid on Christmas Day. What a nice surprise to walk in to this cozy yet busy restaurant. From the Motown music to the funky, eclectic decor, it was the perfect respite from traveling all day. The burger was delicious (in fact my husband thought it was the best he'd had in years) was juicy, covered in Gorgonzola and sweet frizzled onions with a side of French fries. Delish! My son had the chicken salad - healthy portion of grilled, sliced chicken on a bed of field greens and pears. Our meal was far from authentic Spanish food (although it's available on the menu) but for four hungry and tired American travelers, it was the perfect meal.

Had Christmas dinner here, and it was just the experience we were looking for. The service was attentive but not overbearing, and the food was very good. The Super Greens Salad, Meze platter, Mushroom/truffle pizza (no cheese for the vegan in our party), the Niçoise salad and the Mango with sticky rice for dessert were all delicious. Considering we also had 3 drinks and bottled water the price seemed below what we would have paid in the US. Definitely caters to an international/American crowd, but something homey was what we were looking for on Christmas. We made an 8 pm reso, when the kitchen opens, and the place filled up really quick. The party in front of us was 2 ppl without a reso and didn't sit until after 9 pm.
