El Librero Tapas Y Quesos

November 16, 2025

We were very happy and lucky customers, served by Charlie, aka Carlos the cat. We were lucky because we came just at the right time before everyone else rushed for dinner in Spanish time. So we got a table pretty quickly although without any bookings. And we were very happy because Charlie was amazing. Not only we were the happy customers, our neighbor takes were all happy customers. :) Good was great. The seafood paella was very yummy and the iberico pork stew was very nice too. The orange liquor at the end makes a perfect end for our dinner experience.

We called to book but was told we can just show up at 7pm. We arrived around 7.10pm and there was a queue. We finally got in around 7.47. The albondigas and chicken curry was tasty. The greek salad was fresh, especially the tomatoes. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It is a no frills restaurant but it made up for it with the delicious food.

We came to this place twice. The first time, the owner told us they were fully booked and couldn’t even add us to the waiting list. The second time, we finally made it — and it didn’t disappoint at all. The food was really good, and we loved everything about the decoration inside.

The place felt truly authentic, with a warm, family-like atmosphere reflected in its interior. It was full of interesting details that made it a unique spot to explore. We sat in a spot where we could watch the cheese platters being prepared – and it was hard to resist ordering one ourselves! We had paella, white sangria, and red sangria. The paella was delicious, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The sangria, however, felt a bit rushed – not bad, but it lacked the depth we hoped for. Still, the overall experience was worth it, and we definitely recommend it for the atmosphere and charm!

The shopkeepers around the area all pointed to this small, cozy restaurant. It was almost hidden between two other shops, we would have never guessed this place was here. We initially asked for paella and this was our first time trying the dish. Upon walking into the restaurant, we were immediately seated, and they let us charge our phone behind the bar. The waiter was knowledgeable about halal food and diet and helped us understand the menu a bit more. He told us the ingredients in all the dishes. The Russian salad was so delicious and simple. We had it with bread and crackers. The paella took around 20 minutes to be prepared and cooked so we know it was extra fresh. In the seafood paella, there was squid, clams, and prawns, it was exceptionally tasty and fresh. The overall atmosphere was very friendly, chill and laid back. We would definitely recommend! Especially after walking through the Royal Alcázar!!!
