Navaja Restaurante

What a lovely place! The food was phenomenal -- fresh, delicious, beautifully presented. It's the best food we ate in Madrid coming in close to Morgana. The waiters didn't speak English so we accidentally got two dishes after changing our minds but it was delicious so we didn't mind. Just a bit too much to eat! The cava was yum and relatively cheap compared to the wine. Went really well with the food. Would love to go back there one day.

New take on Galician food. Service was ok. Chairs were not that comfortable and the ambiance nothing out of this world. My first few selections on the menu were not available and that was disappointing. However, the server made good suggestions and I ended up having a good meal. The food was really delicious, cooked and presented in a modern way. Kudos to the chef.

Excellent Galician delicacies. In other places they give out Michelin stars for Navaja Nilkkei and Bun Presa Iberica of the kind served here daily. Highly recommend Arroz de Rai to finish off the meal. Five star service as well!

Delicious, original flavors with warm and welcoming service. Loved the fresh ceviche and hamachi crudo, and the buns are dreamy! Great place to go with a group of 4 or more so you can try everything on the menu.

Great place for small but amazing tapas!! Make a reservation!

Great food. There is a reason Vogue magazine named this place as a must go. The food was delicious and in a city of food you can trust this one.

My husband & I loved this place - we went twice, once for drinks and once for dinner. The food was amazing - delicious, imaginative and beautiful. The drinks were a range of classic cocktails, so good that we came back for more. We were served by Amanda (2) who was really kind and friendly. 100% recommend! A perfect example of Madrid's vibrant and warm food/drink culture.

Clearly an overrated restaurant or they had a bad day. We ordered 3 dishes of a menu of about 15-20 options and they didn't have two of them (and they are not marked as seasonal). A waiter recommended one of them and came later they didn't have it! The food has a good presentation but lacks flavor. It is fine but far from 5 stars. It would deserve 2.5. Just an average restaurant with a nice, modern decor! *** I cannot understand people that thinks it is an average experience or stating that desserts are weak giving still four stars. That doesn't help the community to distinguish fair places from good or outstanding ones.

During my trip to Spain, which was about 1 week, I would have to say that I am so happy this was the restaurant to finish our week. The food was absolutely delicious. My party and I practically ordered everything on the menu. There was not one dish I did not like. If you love seafood, this is place knows hows to prepare seafood well. You have to get the softshell crab bun. There is so much flavor going on in each and every bite, leaving you wanting to order more. I was only disappointed in myself for not having a bigger stomach, as I wish I could have ordered the whole menu a second time around. Highly recommend.

Oh, sweet Spain. How I do miss you. And this place right here is a powerful reason why. I had just been in Primark, which quite literally drained me of everything I had, and headed into Malasaña because I needed sustenance. On a little side street near Gran Via, I found this lovely little place. The aesthetics are so pleasing in here and it's large enough to feel airy, but small enough to feel cozy. I ordered everything using my Spanish my entire stay in Madrid, but the waitress was nice enough to put the English menu on the side for me--didn't need it. There were chips and dip-- GUYS, the dip had whole jalapeños-- cooked I don't even know how. But, oh my word: holy deliciousness. Moving on, I had a 4 set of Mexilón de Batea- oysters. First time ever having them and I was pleasantly surprised by how good they tasted. I'm really not a fan of raw foods, but the sauce in which they say was amazing-- there was definitely lime in there and I'm sure that helped with killing the taste that usually turns me off. For my main, or segundo, I had the Presa Iberíca Bun-- a play on a Korean meat bun. They had a variety of buns, but this one was pork and I ended up ordering two instead of just the one. To carry me through my meal, I had the Moscow mule: vodka, SPICY GINGER BEER, and some lime. Clearly, the ginger beer took it over the top for me-- absolutely refreshing. The next time I'm in Madrid, I'll make it a point to stop here again. As always, happy eating and drinking. MarieG

This restaurant was one of my favorites in Malasana! The tapas were delicious and the environment was so charming. The attention to detail is to be mentioned. The muscles are a must get!!

I was recommended by a friend and I love this place. Amazing seafood, try the tuna tataki, soft shell bao, ceviche and xoubas. All in a fun atmosphere too, great to invite friends.
