Los Chuchis

Cute little place with good homey food. Both the chicken and shepherd’s pie were really satisfying. Wish we could eat more but it was physically impossible. Will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu!

Me and some friends went here last weekend in a tracking down of the quintessential English Sunday roast. The five of us have been living in Madrid over the last couple of months and we were looking for a taste of home. Los Chuchis is an English cuisine-inspired bar in central Madrid serving a variety of dishes as part of a menu del día. We were given a choice of four starters (pate, roasted potato skins +2 more that I can't remember) and four mains (roast pork, roast chicken, fish soup, veggie curry). We all opted to go for just the roast pork. With a drink included this was 13.50€, but it would have been 10.50€ during the week. The pork was absolutely delicious. It was perhaps a little stingy on the potatoes and lacked other accompaniments but the texture was fantastic, it came with a gorgeous piece of crackling and a bit of apple sauce on the side. Delicious, we all really enjoyed! The plate seemed a bit small at first but we all seemed to be absolutely knackered after polishing off our plates... and I'm sure we would have been even more stuffed had we had a first course as well. The decor was cute and the staff were friendly. Most only speak Spanish but one of the waiters was English. I will definitely be coming back, and next time I will be going midweek, due to it being cheaper, and will be having both first and second courses i.e. the full menu. Looking forward to it!

The food was great and staff was very nice. Good atmosphere and good price for the food. (Also one of the guys spoke great English which was extremely helpful!)

Two guys running this lovely little cafe/bar/restaurant. One of them speaks perfect English, he might even be English. I stopped here when I had 3 hours in Madrid to kill and it was perfect. Menu del Dia very reasonably priced with the best coffee to finish. The cod on big potatoes was delicious and felt very healthy compared to some more traditional Menu del Dias. Only critique is that it was a little over salted. They do give you a litre of ice cold water along with your complimentary drink so you won’t go thirsty. Lavapies is a great neighbourhood and when I’m back I’ll definitely visit Los Chuchis again!

I booked a dinner for three at this restaurant. I have to say, I've lived in the UK in the past and I really enjoy British food. But the dishes served in this restaurant are better than most of the meals that I've tried in average British pubs. We ordered three dishes (grilled camembert, fried potato scraps and the shepherds pie) and we enjoyed every las bit of them. The rations were large enough for the three of us to be perfectly satisfied. We also tried two desserts and both were outstanding: none of them felt too sweet, but they were tasty and really original for us. The staff was really friendly, efficient without rushing the customers. And they have some imported British beers that will feel like heaven for those who seek this kind of drink. The music and general atmosphere is one of the best in the area: the place never felt too noisy or uncomfortable, even with all its tables occupied. We absolutely loved our dinner at Los Chuchis and we'll surely be back.

We had been travelling Europe a few weeks and had gotten all of our things, including wallets and passports stolen in Barcelona. Exhausted, sad and stressed we took the next train to Madrid for an emergency passport. Whilst waiting for the emergency passport we walked around Madrid and had lunch at Los Chuchis. We immediately felt comforted by the cozy atmosphere, the warm and tasty food (more homey than restaurant food - which was just absolutely perfect after weeks of travel), and a friendly host who spoke English. We had the set menu, which filled us with all the necessities; vegetables, a hearty shepherd’s pie, a well-portioned and not too sweet dessert. Good food, but more than that; instant comfort and cozyness.

Yes! Absolutely. Who said England doesn't have cuisine!? So I've never been a fan of Shepard's Pie but after trying it here I'm all for it. Not many restaurants have the power to change my perspective on a dish like this. The potato skins were amazing too, as well as the advice and attention given by the waitress. Great company, great food and surroundings. An overall excellent experience. Will be back!

This one is a nice and cozy place with a character. Service is friendly. Ingredients are clearly fresh and tasty. Salmon was good, Greek salad, although a small portion, was delicious. Potato ground beef casserole was blend and too salty. I think prices are somewhat higher than Lavapies standards, sadly pointing toward a gentrified future in Lavapies.

Some of the best food I had in Spain was served in a British restaurant. Go figure! But we absolutely loved every bite we had here. The food is hearty and humble, but full of love and honest-to-goodness good cooking. Even at 3PM, the wait was 30 minutes, but we quickly realized why locals are willing to wait for a seat here in a city packed with restaurants. Lunch was served prix-fixe style (aka menu del dia), and amazingly, all 6 dishes we tried were winners. We each ordered different options in order to try them all, as described below: - Arugula salad with caramelized onions and goat cheese: Best salad ever! Everything was so fresh and melded together perfectly. I never want to eat another salad without goat cheese and caramelized onions. My husband was shocked at how good this was because he normally doesn't like salads. - Tomato and cucumber gazpacho: Light, refreshing, and full of flavor. - Pork roast with gravy: This was just insane. Super tender pork with crackling(!!), delicious gravy, and perfectly roasted potatoes and apples. Like something you'd find at the best British pub. - Bouillabaisse: Yes, I ordered a French dish at a British restaurant in Spain. And it was wonderful. The best seafood stew I've ever had. The fish was perfectly cooked, and bread dipped in the broth was briny magic. - Caramel and cinnamon custard: Exactly what it sounds like, only BETTER. To die for. I wanted to lick my bowl. - Pear and rosemary cake: A lighter dessert but still very tasty. At 25-30 euros per person, it's not cheap, but for the quality and quantity of food you get, it's 100% worth it. Our waiter was friendly and very patient with our poor Spanish skills. The restaurant was absolutely packed with locals, and it never died down, long after lunch was over. Try to finagle a reservation here if you can, but even if you can't, I would wait hours to eat here again.

A lot of friends and online reviews suggested Los Chuchis as a top restaurant in lavapies. We made a reservation on a Saturday night at 8:30pm, right before the huge dinner rush. The restaurant is tiny and intimate, very low lighting without music. It wasn't unpleasant but different than the usual scene in Madrid. Don't be put off by this! We were seated at a very small table near the window. The menu is hand written, a bit difficult to read but added to the vibe of a home-cooked restaurant. We opted for the potato skins - served with Mexican salsa and sour cream and the baked Camembert with roasted garlic. The potato skins were heavily salted but surprisingly paired well with the salsa and sour cream choices. It was the perfect amount for 3 people (roughly the skins of 5 large potatoes) The Camembert was amazing - the cheese was melted perfectly. It came with two large heads of garlic roasted wonderfully. It was topped with fresh rosemary and a complimentary basket of fresh bread. The menu and atmosphere is a breath of fresh air compared to the typical Spanish restaurants around it, offering a mix of Spanish-English cuisine. Definitely recommend trying it!

Had the slow cooked pork and it was amazing. This place is small but has a big heart and the server was warm and welcoming. Definitely will come back next time I'm in Madrid.

The meal and service was absolutely delicious! Went for lunch and they had a set menu. I'm am stuffed but my tummy is happy! Definitely can't wait to come back!

What a great find! The home cooked meals were stupendous, and the decor was inviting and a nice change from the typical Madrid cafe/bar (you know, the glass case of ubiquitous fried tapas atop the bar and a floor strewn with used bevnaps). The menú al día had three mix-and-match choices for appetizer and entree; we started with a delicious crema (puree) of potato, coconut milk, and cardamom. For the main course we had delicious roast pork over rosemary potatoes with stewed apples. Dessert yielded a chunky apple cake as well as a dulce de leche cake. The other entree choices were grilled tuna or vegetable lasagna. The staff was hard-working, super friendly, and accommodating. It's a bright place all the way around. I've already made plans to go back.

What a lovely bright and cheerful spot to sit and eat lunch! The decor is pretty - the bunting is delightful - and the mood is relaxed. The house vino was great, and the daily lunch specials cheap and well executed. I had no idea what the Spanish menu said, but looked around at what others were eating and pointed with a smile. My salad with Camembert and a side of bread was the perfect fuel during a day of sight seeing.

Based on Yelp recommendations, we ventured out to Los Chuchupis tonight for dinner. We didn't know what to expect from ambiance and decor, so was a bit nervous when we actually saw the place. She's not the prettiest girl at the dance, but the food was outstanding. Started with the blue cheese (English Stilton) and roasted tomatoes with red onion. Quite frankly the best salad I've ever eaten, and I don't even like blue cheese. Fooled up with the Shepard Pie which is made with lamb. Wife got the couscus veggie platter and she was equally pleased. Nephew ordered the Salchichas (sausages) and he licked the platter clean. Don't get put of with the lack of decor. Go and eat an awesome meal.

Lovely place in Lavapies, the Camembert cheese place is to die for. The decoration is very cute and cozy, great service, can't say enough good things about it! And they serve Estrella Galicia on tap! Great place!!

Great restaurant! We arrived around 8 and got a seat at the bar right away. We ordered the potato skins to start which was so good - crispy, salty and served with salsa and sour cream. For the main course we had the rosemary lemon chicken which was served with garlicky mash potatoes. The chicken was so moist and flavourful and the mash potatoes were to die for. All in all, a great meal and will highly recommend it!
