Restaurante Santo Mauro

Seriously the WORST food I have ever had in Madrid!! (Including the cheapest restaurants). I mean, French fries came boiled??? What?? On a Saturday, the menu options super limited. Waiter offered rodaballo for 2 (fish for 2 people), which in ALL restaurants in madrid it comes the actual whole fish. But not here! They brought 2 tiny pieces for each and boiled broccoli! OMG! Seriously, I am telling all friends not to ever go there (unless it’s for a wine at the patio). No for food. Picture for a “fish for 2 people”…

Elegant is the first word that comes to my mind to describe this place! The outdoor seating was closed as it was raining in March so we enjoyed our lunch and coffee in the rustic yet cool library. Excellent service as well. Must try their dessert(apple pie if I recall)

Wanted to leave the review about celebrating my event in this restaurant. It was a special event for me, that’s why I went to ask and to book before, because they have different spaces. I agreed to book a space and had my booking in the space library for 8 people. Than 1 day before the event in the evening they call me and put me to the fact that they have to move my booking to the other place, because they have a private event there and it’s coordinated by other department, I think if u work in 1 place- u should have to be more organised and to know about the events not 1 day before? And don’t put people to the other place and obviously we didn’t have any alternative as long it was very late. also the food, it has changed in the bad way.. I was there in September and it was much better, actually I had stomach poisoning after or from the oysters or from the meet.other bad point- they have some problems with light. Its is very very very Dark there in the evening, u almost can’t see anything. At the end- don’t recommend this place anymore((

The garden is beautiful and the brunch on Sundays is highly recommend. It's 45 € per person but well worth it.

The food was excellent and it was pretty cheap also to be honest. I would definitely go back.

Incredible historic decor yet prices are acceptable. Great food.

Great experience
