La Espanola - Pozuelo de Alarcón

Una magnífica calidad en los productos y un excelente nivel de profesionalidad y amabilidad en el servicio

Excelente cocina. Un clásico de Pozuelo y de Madrid. Extraordinaria su clásica tortilla de patata que le dio su fama inicial. Pero si por algo es popular este restaurante es por sus carnes. Cortes de la mejor calidad. Sin duda un sitio de referencia para los amantes de la carne. La experiencia gastronómica se completa debido a un ambiente muy agradable y un extraordinario servicio amable y profesional sin ser agobiante. A resaltar que presta servicio de aparcacoches, algo cada vez más infrecuente y más necesario.

The food wss good, the service deplorable. We were a table of 9 and we waited over 25 minutes between the entree and the main course. We waited a further 15 minutes after maincourse for the waiter to take the order fof dessert. We gave up on coffee. Terrible service for price range

This is a place for large groups, it is vast and bus groups welcome. It is a machine, and to be fair, the atmosphere is not terrible and certain dishes such as the tortilla espagnol with grilled peppers are served perfectly. Otherwise it is loud and service is only to deliver plates as they come out. No one appears to care, and among travesties of this meal was my neighbour, served his steak first before any of the twelve of us, had to send it back as way too cold: He did not receive it back until all of us were finished or practically finished with ours served later. Half the steak was inedible, and I am a chef who knows to cut against the grain to make it it as easy to chew as possible. And I did especially ask for a sharp knife as the ones they offered were ragged and blunt and would have made it seem even worse than it was. My al punto just done , the typical way to get the most of a steak), was not even warm in the centre. Half of the plate, huge chunks of fat and unchewable gristle were left. My personal worst was that they started collecting payment before I had even been offered or served desert. A factory. I am sure you can have a good time there as a group especially if you do not much care about the food or service, but would warn any casual diner looking for a.good meal and pleasant time from stopping, let alone eating there. Fortunately, being in a suburb.of Madrid, they probably don 't get too many casual diners anyway. For local groups however, I would say: you can do better.

Buen trato por los responsables y los barmanes del restaurante. como siempre muy buen producto. gran carne y tortilla de patatas
