Ribeira do Miño

I hate peeling off shells on seafood, I have a pet peeve about sticky hands, I hate fishy smelling hands after the meal, I hate the stinky smell off your hands after the meal and how hard it is to wash off.
Damn it- this place is sooooo good. Perfect seafood without the stuff i hate. This place was really great!l
I was so suprised on how affordable it was . I think it was recommended to get a reservation- we probably got lucky because it was champions league final with Real madrid so it was not that busy.

What a gem in the middle of a small alley! We shared a seafood platter for two (shrimp, prawns, barnacles, two types of crab) amongst five of us so we could also try other dishes-shrimp in garlic, clams in garlic, grilled cod and the consommé and Galician soup. A giant round of Galician bread was waiting at every table which quickly filled up once the doors opened. Service was quick and efficient and they served free shots of baileys and nonalcoholic Apple liquor at the end of our meal. We also ordered flan and the frozen lemon for dessert which were both perfect to end the meal. Plan to make reservations so you are guaranteed a seat. It is a messy meal but the seafood is so fresh it was worth smelling like the sea when you walk out.

This place is really incredible!! Every single person that goes to this place should give them 5 stars. Every time that I go to Madrid try to eat here.

The food is abundant and delicious! The service is very good. They have some good albariños there and for a good price.

We ordered a couple of seafood platters that come with a lot of mussels, shrimps, crab, etc.

Tasty. Everyone orders the seafood platter. We opted for a bunch of aperetivos and tapas. Everything was fresh. Seafood appeared very fresh. Mostly locals and busy busy busy!

My wife found this place on our honeymoon searching for some fun authentic place to try before we flew out in the morning. Upon arriving here, we found it to be super crowded with Spaniards starting their night on the town with a massive seafood feast for the ages.

The nice thing to see was that this place seemed very popular with the locals. Given the massive crowd, we were a little worried about the wait. But after talking with the waiter, he told us that he'd probably be able to seat us in about 5 minutes. It turns out that finding a table for 2 wasn't so hard with so many groups in front of us.

We briefly looked at the menu, but decided to go with the seafood platter with all sorts of shellfish on it. This mountain of shellfish comes out for two and is stacked with shrimp, prawns, crab, etc. They also provide a nice side of bread to balance out all the seafood. For those who are not experienced in eating shellfish, it can be a bit hard to get to the meat. But if you exercise a little patience, it is worth the effort.

Probably the best fish Restaurant in Madrid! Definitive no touristic place.


Inexpensive local cousine, A+


Don't miss the Galizian Fire Pot, a Drink for the whole table!


You need to speak Spanish!


Meat dishes are available too

Good service super busy rest bar - ir u are a sea food nut and know ur way around the utensils this is ur haven- hands down. Good luck getting a table it gets full quickly!

Excellent place to get seafood!
Reservation is necessary - when we were there it was a long row of people in front of the restaurant. Understandable! What you get is really great! High-quality seafood in an easy athmosphere. You can open the crabs and everything easy with your hand and just enjoy like everybody around does - real south-european family feelings! Prices are really ok! We had the seafood plate which is 31 euro for 2 persons and more than enough!
Definitely worth a recommendation. A must for all seafood lovers in Madrid!

Best fish we've had - fresh, simple, well prepared. This is kind of a functional place with very good sea food and fish. We took a sole fish and langoustines that came off the grill and were very tasty. Alongside Pimiento de Padron and white wine we had a great lunch. The place seems like a locals' favorite.

If you are super hungry for seafood , go there. 35€ big platter for 2. Cheap and extra fresh. Book in advance. Very long line.
