La Penela Velazquez - Madrid

This place is OUTSTANDING. I never had food from Galicia and I just love it. The servers were very kind and helpful with my food choices. I had the tomato salad with “Cazuela de Mariscos”. I ate and ate. It was just very delicious. Then for dessert I had “Filloas”. I truly recommend this amazing restaurant. My server suggested me a white wine which I don’t really know the name but it was just the perfect drink for my meal. When I arrived at 6 pm, the restaurant was closed. Monica (my waitress.. was the one who told me I should wait until 8 when they reopen for the low season schedule. THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTION.

The specialty is Galician food and I was highly recommended to try the veal. Very good atmosphere, formal, in the middle of Velasquez Avenue in the Salamanca district. I highly recommend it.

Overall the tapas were very good. Really enjoyed the octopus and croquettes. Steak and potatoes along with the wine were just average.

Hemos parado por allí de casualidad y ha sido todo un descubrimiento, el dueño nos ha atendido fenomenal, nos ha puesto en la mesa de su familia haciéndonos un hueco. Todos los camareros han sido muy agradables, cómo el ambiente.La comida buenísima, toda casera, la empanada, chipirones, callos con garbanzos y de remate las filloas con crema de orujo invitación de la casa. Todo un acierto. Ha mejorado nuestro día gratamente.

Restaurante muy ruidoso, con muchas mesas y sin espacio suficiente entre ellas cada vez que pasaba alguien te rozaba o daba un golpe). Comida normal, tortilla de betanzos muy buena. El servicio deja mucho que desear. Mas que un restaurante es una casa de comidas. Claramente no es mi sitio y no volveré.
