I went here for a date night and it was perfect! We had the octopus, cod fritters, and low loin steak—all incredible. The octopus was the best we’ve had in Madrid, the cod fritters were so good I’ll be dreaming about them, and the steak was cooked to perfection. Our server Roberto was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and spot-on with his recommendations, especially the wine pairing. The manager Anthony was equally accommodating, even giving us great wine suggestions to take home. Overall, an outstanding dining experience with amazing food, service, and hospitality. Went here with my partner and baby. This is a very child friendly environment. Service was impeccable. Food was excellent. We had the cod fritter that was full of flavor and Galician Octopus which was so tender and tasty. The callos ala madrileño was the best we've ever tried so far. As to our main entree, the iberico secreto, it was juicy, tender and cooked to perfection. The complimentary cheesecake and lemon sorbet were divine! Thank you very much to our very friendly and efficient server, Eloy! We will sure comeback! Jumie & Hector We had an amazing experience at Los Montes de Galicia in Madrid! 🍷✨ The food was absolutely excellent, every dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, which made us feel truly comfortable. A special mention goes to Roberto, our waiter – extremely attentive, caring, and respectful. It’s rare to find such a dedicated professional who makes the whole dining experience even better. 👏 Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was my second visit to Montes de Galicia in 12 months. The first time, I came with my father-in-law and kids — fantastic experience. This trip, I had no plans to go back, but I couldn’t resist the pulpo a la feria and buñuelos de bacalao I remembered. So I stopped in around 4pm for a bar lunch, and once again — excellent. There’s a reason this place has almost 12,000 reviews: it’s just that good.
