La Escalera De Serrano - Madrid

I admit my Spanish is very poor, which is why I asked for the English menu. I ordered the steak (pictured) but first I was given a lamb dish. Which by the way was very nice! But I hadn’t ordered it. Nobody at the restaurant spoke English so I had a conversation with the waitress via google translate. Eventually she understood and took the lamb away and came back with the steak. Which was just as I imagined, perfectly cooked and the potatoes were delicious! I’d definitely recommended this dish. However, when the bill came both dishes were on there. We got into another google translate dispute! Eventually she brought me a revised bill but she wasn’t happy. Lesson learned, I need to improve my Spanish.

I needed to arrange a dinner for colleagues at short notice and walked in and arranged this meal on a Thursday afternoon. We were told that the pulpo (octopus) had won an award in Madrid and tried it. It was the best that I have ever had texture wise and came with an aioli type sauce which was heavy on garlic (that means good). The pork cheeks (stewed for hours and served with apple source) and beef (with blue cheese sauce) were also excellent. The reports of the desserts (brownie and french toast type thing flavoured with orange and cinnamon were also positive, although I didn't try them. The place was quiet and I am in two minds about leaving such a positive review because the restaurant is close to my house and I want to be able to walk in and eat whenever I feel like it, and I don't want it to become too crowded. No matter if it does, they deserve it.

5 to 7 tables at the entire space. Service is incredible. Food is out of this world. As local as it gets. A must!

It's a normal coffee shop, step by step. The attention is nice. it is small local but the best is the theme of the terrace, especially with good weather as it is wide and gives enough the sun. The only thing is to get the beer that doesn't have canes. his reed equals a double in any other bar and they charge you as a double. It's the only thing that I find odd that being a coffee shop, the smallest size of beer is a double and they offer it as a reed.

I love it because all the dishes are very good without exception. the quality is wonderful and you can see that everything is made with an exquisite drop. Moreover, it is a charming place where you feel very well.
