Mercado de la Reina Review

Mercado de Reina is a Spanish restaurant near Puerta del Sol. The overall environment of the restaurant is good, the decoration is very modern, and there are many people. In addition to tapas, there are also local specialties, which taste good and are not expensive.

Great location, great food, great service. We noticed only later that we where given 20% discount instead of the announced 30%.

Relaxing atmosphere, good food not extraordinary, but good. Good service and great location. Perhaps Sangria need a special touch to get a bit more distinctive.

The food was excellent we loved the appetizer/starter, the Bluefin tuna dish we both had was great as was the cheesecake and Sangria drinks. The only issue was we thought we were getting a 30% Fork discount when we booked it but there was no discount available for the 9:00 PM time we selected and this was explained and understood later. We had also been charged for two breads but only ate one but this was corrected.

With just one night in Madrid, I dined with a large group of friends at this casual tapas bar in the heart of the city. Highly recommended, reasonably priced, interesting seasonal selections. I loved the fried artichokes (so tender), the baby fava beans with a perfectly-cooked fried egg, and the roasted asparagus with romesco. All delicious!
