Four of us had a terrific evening at Algarabia. We had a good Spanish-speaker with us but we all felt the warmth of the attention we received. The Rioja they have specially bottled was excellent and two bottles slipped down easily. Asparagus, beans and loin of pork were all brilliant. At the end one of the sisters put on her... More

I have just returned to Algarabia for a dinner with friends and everyone was enchanted. The beans are to die for! and the pork pretty extraordinary. My friends, who were there for the first time--absolutely loved it.

I got there without a reservation while being on a business trip on my birthday evening. They found me a free table on the spot. everything about the dinner was superb, starting from the great hospitality, their wine and the most amazing dishes you will have. it was one of the best birthday dinner i have ever had

very small restaurant but charming. Small menu. The food was good but nothing special. There speciality is a grilled filet mignon de porc, but they served it really red. We didn't like that. Not cheap.

Staying in Madrid for the weekend between business trips and found this restaurant on Tripadvisor. Online reservations were very easy. Small restuarant with eight tables. Very friendly service and an excellent atmosphere. Had a bean soup and braised pork loin with carmalized onions. Great place.

we found Algarabia by searching in internet. I managed to book through www.restalo.es. The owners are 2 elderly kind and very friendly sisters who offer kind hospitality and fantastic food. The place is tiny and cosy as if you are home. The wine is specially bottled for the restaurant. Do not forget to ask the meaning of Algarabia? Thanks! We... More

Perfectly cooked food. Reasonably priced. Lovely service. We were in a group of six and everyone argued that their choice was the best, as we kept passing bits around for everyone to taste. It was a fun, delicious experience. The place is tiny and the two sisters are gracious and quirky. Perfect evening.

This wonderful respite, a short 5 minute walk from the Palace, was the highlight of our trip to Madrid. A superb bottle of wine, accompanied by asparagus in phyllo pastry, tomatoes stuffed with foie and veal, and a very earthy and succulent plate of esgargots, rioja style, provided an excuse for a 2 hour lunch in the delightful company of...

Charming sisters and very warm and willing to please. Food was only average the night we dined. For the price there are lots of alternatives that have better menus.
