Lua

What a surprising and great dinner! We had a fantastic meal where we tried incredible and interesting dishes. The pigeon was the star of the show! It would’ve been perfect if the wine pairing could’ve been explained a bit better or in general a bit more time for service and enjoyment of the atmosphere was possible.

Our visit to Lua was one of those cozy, warm experiences that you treasure forever. We had wonderful food and wine in the company of good friends. The service we received was incredibly friendly and informative, both elegant but approachable, intuitive to our needs. We chose to start with an order of Foie Midcuit Sobre Empanada De Pera Y Queso San Simón Caramelizado, and a half order of impeccably soft and supple Pulpo a Feira. My companion ordered their Lubina con Verduritas, and I had the Verdinas con Carabineros, and the Raya En Caldeirada Sobre Sopa De Ibéricos. For dessert, I had the Brownie con Helado de Turron y Trufa (yes, it had authentic black truffles shaved on top) and my friend a "deconstructed" Tarta de Santiago. The whole meal was amazing; some of the dishes were elevated versions of traditional Galician dishes (the Verdinas or the Tarta de Santiago) while others were successful experiments (like the Fois Midcuit or the crazy-delicious Brownie with Turron Ice Cream and shaved Trufa). Lua deserves their 2023 Michelin star!

We went there upon recommendations from friends. The place is nicely decorated and wait staff were friendly and spoke English well. We had the degustation menu. The menu was definitely interesting and the kitchen definitely tries to experiment with flavours. I think the highlight is definitely the cappuccino dish. Visually interesting and flavours were good. A couple of dishes like the fish and roast pork could be better balanced with flavours. For example, the hoi sin sauce on the roast pork could be much stronger. Overall, it was a nice experience and with a few minor tweaks in the flavours I think this restaurant is amazing.

I had the tasting menu and cannot fault any of the dishes at all. Beautifully presented, amazing dishes. A great value for money because of the quality of dishes being extremely high. I would certainly return if I am in Madrid again.

I had the worst Michelin star experience ever. I ordered their 9 course tasting menu and none of the dishes really appealed to my taste. The food quality and cooking skills fell short of what I expected from a Michelin-starred establishment, and the lack of creativity was especially disappointing. The second appetizer tasted extremely fishy and sour, so my friend and I couldn't finish it. The starter course with salmon, mayo, and lime zest was just okay. The mayo tasted like the kind you buy at a regular supermarket. Among the nine dishes, the foie gras with puff pastry and candied pistachios stood out as the best, but even that had its flaws. It turned out to be too sweet for a savory dish, and the pastry itself was oily and lacked the desired crunch, resulting in an uncomfortable mouthfeel. The remaining courses were equally disappointing, leaving such a lackluster impression that I can hardly recall what I actually ate. The service and atmosphere were fine. The staff were professional and polite, but I was "spoiled" with the warming, friendly and attentive manners of other non-starred and Michellin-starred restaurants I have dined in before.

I have booked table few weeks in advance and the place is very nice and service is very good. We had 2 starters , prawn carpaccio and foie grass with caramelized pear. Very interesting flavors. As main dish we ordered and the pork and bacalao. Pork was amazing! Highly recommended. And the desert was also very appreciated by my wife.

The place has an incredible atmosphere, with all the charm of the most sophisticated dishes from northern Spain. We liked a lot the choice of music. The foie micuit on pear empanada was outstanding, the tuna tartar perfect and the shrimp 'bravas' atonishing. Anyway, the versión of the Tarta de Santiago of Manuel Domínguez is simply perfect. We are from Asturias and we are so proud that the gastronomy of the north of Spain is so well represented at Lúa.

Great tasting menu, I loved the appetizers, and as a favorite dish I would choose Corvinya fish. The chef makes a good work with the sauces. I missed not getting a second dessert. The service was excellent, they had good pace for all dishes with minimal wait time. Large wine menu. For 1 star Michelin I missed the Chef at the table asking customers about the experience, I find that to give a super value to this adventure as at least you learn how some flavors are achieved. Ginger on carpaccio was magic. Many dishes with flowers, and very colorful. Will definitely come back when they change menu. They only had one tasting menu which helped to everyone at the table eating together. Good price for a 1 star. My only missing thing is a menu in paper to follow what you ate, what you re eating and what's remaining.
