El Rincón de Esteban

I make the reservation for 6 persons. We order a plate of Paella for 3 persons because they charged 35 euro per person.After a half an hour they serve the order which was absolutely burned. We call the waiter who accepted our right and took out in order to serve a new one. Finally they bring a new plate of Paella with less seafood compared with similar we tasted in other restaurant I don't recommend at all this restaurant. I don't know how is rated 4.5.....

Thank you to our server, it was a lovely evening.

Great restaurant with amazing atmosphere! One of the best places to try the classic Spanish cuisine. Qe had a great time, delicious food and great service! Definitely one of the top places I have ever been in Madrid!

We booked for my father's 70th birthday and New Years Eve night. We had the set holiday menu. Food was really good for the holiday. They provided us with lucky grapes at midnight and allowed us to participate in local traditions. We really enjoyed it!

Excellent food and the owner is always there. Great service

Truly phenomenal experience with amazing food (especially the seafood paella), extremely warm hospitality and a very comfortable dining environment. Many thanks to Mr Esteban and his team for one of the best dinners we had in Spain!

Muy atentos

The best Paella and service in Madrid!

Outstanding!!!

Very Spanish restaurant with an attractive menu. We loved the atmosphere and decor.

There are many many reviews left for restaurants and it just depends on your own expections and likes and dilikes. I read 20 reviews before I confirmed my booking and dome some very good, some not so good, it's to easy to generalize. We had a great meal with lovely wine and excellent service. We are from Dublin, Ireland.

Warm, charming setting and not noisy. . Great oysters, delicious sole. Lamb chops were very disappointing. Small, grizzly with little meat. Service was good initially but tapered off as the evening progressed.

We had heard about the wonderful food and service at the Rincón de Esteban and were not disappointed. The seafood paella was delicious as was the Eggplant appetizer. A must try!! Our server was very friendly and offered us complimentary after dinner digestifs and truffles. We would definitely recommend dining at El Rincón de Esteban!!

We enjoyed our meal. The mixed reviews concerned at first... but we found everything welcoming and the menu satisfactory... our food quite good. Restaurant was very busy .,. And some service was a bit rushed .... but we did get a nice dinner and enjoyed the many languages of the diverse crowd

Nice location and warm welcome but this is one of those dated places that has probably served the same food for 20years. Brown decor and lots of photos of proprietor on wall. Food was well cooked but unimaginative and the squid dish just a huge plate of over sweetened squid rings. Steak was decent, grilled lamb nice and crispy and the “free” aperitifs and amuse bouche were a nice touch. Some inappropriate chat about “finding me a nice 28 year old” for pudding really finished things off however. Probably a thousand more chic and current places to eat nearby.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here...all the little extra touches of professional service! 3 of us had the roast suckling pig and 1 had the steak tartare. All were excellent!

Good food in a authentic Spanish atmosphere

Beautiful restaurant, amazing food, service and great value! Highly recommend to anyone willing to try traditional Spanish cuisine! We had a mixed Paella, Gazpacho and mussels! Everything tasted great.

Aquilino was our waiter. He was engaging and efficient. The food was well executed and unpretentious.

Excellent food! Atmosphere! Service! 2nd time there and will definitely come back again!
