My wife and I dined here twice during our visit to Madrid, and had two very different experiences, both pleasant. The first visit was on a Sunday, and we were able to choose from an extensive menu. My squid croquettes with black ink were outstanding, one of the most delicious dishes I've ever had, and the pork cheeks were nearly... More

El Abrazo de Vergara offers you a great food experience. The menu is not too wide, but all the dishes sound palatable. Everything that we ordered was brilliant. As starters, we picked papas with green mojo, squid croquettes and tempura vegetables with romesco sauce. The most incredible dish were papas with green mojo, I encourage all the people to taste...

My partner and I had a great meal, apart from her main course which consisted of a strange jelly of raw onion and what had been described as 'tuna'... The place is great value for money and I would definitely visit again - although it is closed on a Monday which we did not realise at the time (a wasted... More

I visited this restaurant during a long weekend break in Madrid. The food was absolutely delicious and brilliantly presented. There were so many exciting choices on the menu I wish I could have tried them all. In the end we opted for 3 big courses between two of us (this was enough to completely fill us). All of it tasted... More

A full tapas experience for starters and a delicious main course. We were able to experience many good wines too. I would highly recommend it.

The food was average, and the service really poor. We had to ask the waiter each time to take away our plates, to get some water etc. , he just came by from time to time to say fantistico and then he left....After we had finished our white wine, we had to ask for new glasses for the red wine,...

We went to El Abrazo de Vergara (very close to metro Opera) for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and it was definitely the best food we had in Madrid. I had the lunch menu (the seafood risotto as a first course and the salmon tartare as a main course - in both cases you have three choices), which was absolutely... More

We came here at lunch after reading great reviews. The menu was very small, no tapas. We ordered 3 entrees, wine, and our son asked for some water. We were brought 3 buns, an opened (with no top) 1-liter bottle of water, and 3 little complementary croquetes. The entrees were good, but nothing spectacular. Portions were small and too expensive...

We went here thanks to the reviews on here and I have to say it certainly lives up to the hype. We opted for the set menu and we were encouraged to try lots of different and unusual items and everything was delicious. I had the cod for main course and it was fantastic, the others had the duck which... More

With so many restaurants listed for Madrid it was hard to choose where to eat out. We chose this as there were consistently good reviews and comments and were not disappointed. We chose the set menu, there were 2 to choose from, both offered a selection of set starters then a choice for main and desert. The starters were very... More
