Leña Madrid. Las brasas x Dani García

Set in a beautiful, intimate basement space with dark, moody lighting, Lena offers a refined yet vibrant atmosphere that secures its place as one of Madrid’s premier steak and grill houses. The menu covers the full spectrum—from veggie and meat starters to small bites and an impressive selection of premium cuts and seafood. Dinner began with warm sourdough bread and hand-turned butter topped with Black Sea salt, a simple but unforgettable start. I followed with perfectly charred leeks layered with mustard and ham, offering great depth of flavor, and then a yakitori chicken skewer glazed with Asian soy, cooked to perfection. For the main, I chose the 200g Iberic pork loin, which was tender, flavorful, and elevated by a side of asparagus au gratin—rich, creamy, and well-balanced. Overall, Lena delivers on both atmosphere and food, with thoughtful touches across the board. Just be sure to book ahead, as reservations are required.

A perfect anniversary dinner — everything just clicked! We chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, and it was the perfect match from the moment we arrived. ✨ The location, the ambience, and especially the staff who took care of us made the evening truly special. The food was top-notch — everything we tried was delicious, but we especially recommend the burger. The meat was absolutely spectacular, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. 🍔🔥 A place where good food meets good vibes. We’ll definitely be back!

The steak menu was incredible. It was one of the best steaks I have ever had and the portions were huge. I will definitely come back.

I celebrated my birthday lunch at LENA steakhouse in Madrid, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, the service was warm, attentive, and polished, exactly what you’d expect from a world class restaurant. I ordered the Wagyu steak, and I can honestly say it was the best meat I have ever eaten in my life — melt-in-your-mouth tender, bursting with flavour, and cooked to absolute perfection. My daughter ordered a hamburger, and in true LENA style, the premium cuts of meat were beautifully presented and hand-ground right at our table, making the experience both unique and memorable. The food was impeccable, the atmosphere elegant yet inviting, and the staff ensured every detail of our lunch felt special. I left feeling incredibly spoiled and already planning my return. Highly recommended for anyone who loves exceptional meat, flawless service, and a dining experience to remember.

I had the ribeye steak, a side of asparagus and a glass of red wine. The steak was good and presented at the proper temperature. Even though the steak is well over €50 all of the accompaniments are a la carte. Although I was satisfied with the experience it is a bit underwhelming given the cost. The space is quite dark as it is in a basement.

The LEÑA is in a stylish location that combines modern design with an inviting ambience, our evening was a real treat. I was particularly impressed by the presentation of the meat. The dishes were excellently prepared and perfectly seasoned, so that every bite offered a harmonious taste experience. A particular highlight was the option to individually select the type of steak knife - a small but extremely stylish touch that rounded off the overall experience. One point that is also very important to me and was pleasantly noticed: the music was discreetly in the background and not too loud, so that you could have a very good conversation. One small point of criticism: unfortunately, the food cooled down relatively quickly, which could probably be avoided by using warmer plates. However, the service was consistently attentive and professional, without being intrusive, and made the visit an all-round successful experience. A restaurant that impresses with quality, style and service in equal measure.

We ordered the green apple foie gras, steak tartare, the mini burgers, solomillo, the rib eye, the potato purée, fries, Apple tart, mule and cocktails. The food was good but the cocktails were better. The ambience was great and the service was excellent.

Delicious high quality food at a reasonable price, at least for the brunch menu that we had. Their prices definitely run the gamut - from a $22 burger to a $100 steak. The brunch option is probably one of the best deals: $45 per person that includes 3 “entrantes” or sharing plates, then a main dish (we had 4 options to choose from), then a dessert, and coffee. They also offered orange or detox (think: kale + lemon) juices and water throughout the meal included in the price. Overall, we ate fantastically well, the servers were very professional, the food was awesome and it made for a really lively and positive brunch experience. We made our reservation for 11.30am, and finished by 1.30pm (they seemed to need to get ready for the lunch crowd that would start soon, so they gently signaled we had to start wrapping up with non-verbal cues, which is fair, we never really felt pressured though). Absolutely try this place at least once, you will not regret it.
