What a delight! Delicious food, wine, setting and service! Had baby eels hors menu as a starter, partridge à la presse for main and the best apple strudel I’ve ever had for dessert. Difficult to find better German food in Mitteleuropa- a must!

The last surviving classic luxury restaurant of Madrid with a centenary tradition and serving genuine central-European recipes with excellent execution in the kitchen and very attentive and professional service. Classic elegant ambiance and decor. Excellent game dishes in season. Soufflé potatoes also great. While I really like their famous baumkuchen, I think there is room for upgrading their dessert offerings. Update January 2025: this time the experience was a bit disappointing so I am adjusting down the rating. The food quality remained high but presentations were on the rough side, not aligned with the elegance of the place. Service has significantly deteriorated in many ways: had to ask a few times for my wine glass to be refilled, dishes that don’t come out at the same time, final preparations like a flambé not performed table side. Finally the atmosphere has also gone down, cramming too many tables in the main dining area, making it very busy for the waiters and diners. Elegant dress code is no longer enforced, just a jacket needed.

Fantastic place! One of the oldest restaurant in Madrid! I was surprised from the first seconds about service and place! They take care about you from the first moment, took car for parking, opened all doors, put a pillow under the hills (only for women), in the end put car in front of door! Service was excellent in all details! Food was very tasty, fresh and well cooked! Classical, high class restaurant which have rules about dress-code. Man should be with jacket for sure and also not casual style for all persons! Thanks a lot for all staff for amazing atmosphere, delicious food, excellent service and emotions!!! Highly recommend!!!
