Smoked Room Madrid. Fire Omakase by Dani García

The food, decor and the atmosphere were perfect. There is nothing to argue or criticize. clearly its a meal worth remembering, everything from the brioche to the ice cream, no complaints. Nevertheless, I do want to congratulate the people. Everyone that took care of us was amazing. Every detail taken care of, from the great waiters to chefs and specially the summelier. She had so many small details letting us sample wonderful old reds and great Sherries. Thanks for a great dinner!

Most enjoyable dinner with impeccable service and unique dishes. Every dish (bar one which I will come to later) was beautifully presented and expertly executed. There was a lot of Japanese influence which we enjoyed and yet the treatment was unexpected and delightful. This was the 4th Michelin-starred restaurant on our trip: two 3* in San Sebastián and a 2* in Oxford. TBH the food in two of them was a little disappointing in that the dishes were very predictable. Smoked Room was a breath of fresh air. The only dish I did not enjoy was ironically the sea cucumber that I was looking forward to trying. The sea cucumber was quite bitter and i almost didn’t finish it; perhaps the alcohol wasn’t properly burned off? Fortunately the experience was redeemed by everything else, including the brioche at the beginning and the palate cleanser. We enjoyed sitting at the counter watching the food preparation in the impeccably organised kitchen (the handle of the saucepans all pointed in the same direction 😆). Definitely worth a return!

Smoked Room is an amazing experience everyone should live at least once. There hasn't been a plate they offered that left us disappointed! The staff is superb, they take care of every detail. It's really worth every cent. Will definetly be back!

Outstanding, 3+ hour dining experience. The two Michelin stars are well deserved. We were greeted promptly by the reception staff and led down a modern, LED-lit tunnel into the dining room. It’s very cozy with a 6-person chef’s counter and two, 4-seat tables. We had the 14-course Omakase tasting menu. It’s a fusion of Japanese and Spanish influences with an emphasis on seafood…and of course smoke, for which the restaurant is named. With the exception of the duck, the courses were creative, beautifully presented and prepared, and thoughtfully explained by the staff (who seemed conversant in at least English, French, German and Spanish). The counter had a primary server who was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful with the wine selections - we had several glasses, but didn’t opt for the wine pairing(s) which are available. I liked that the chefs would occasionally come out to explain the ingredients and preparation for the dishes being delivered. Wines were very good and reasonably priced. Lots of local, seasonal ingredients in the dishes. Sauces were a highlight. Amazing execution and fun to watch the proceedings from the counter, with an overhead mirror of the prep area. Overall, a world-class dining experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Give this place a 3*! Amazing food, everything is meticulous and expertly done. Flavours across savory and sweet dishes where phenomenal. Seafood was delicate and flavorful, duck beautifully cooked, and the yogurt dessert blew my mind,so simple but wow! Come hungry and get the risotto, it's worth it! Thank you Lenny and Mattia for excellent service, food and all the recommendations. Will be back!!

The experience at Smoked Room in Madrid was absolutely fantastic. Every course was perfectly seasoned and the flavors were exceptionally well-balanced. Luis, the sommelier, was outstanding and made the entire evening truly enjoyable an experience in itself. The use of high-quality ingredients was evident in every bite. The only thing to mention is that the rooms are quite dark, which could be improved. Overall, an extraordinary culinary experience that I highly recommend!

This was a fantastic experience with top talent from the wait staff, sommelier, and chefs. Each dish was unique and really pushed our taste buds. We've been fortunate to dine at a 3 Michelin Star restaurant in the past, and Smoked Room was a much better experience and I anticipate congratulating them on a 3rd star in the near future.

The worst 2-star restaurant in Madrid, perhaps the most awful food I had in 2024. Even though I asked for less salt as a dietary requirement, this is still unbelievable salty. Some ingredients and concepts might seem a cultural shock to European diners, but they are very weird to an Asian diner.
