Restaurante Gloria Bendita Madrid

Cozy spot for dinner. Dinner was better than expected!

When I go to a restaurant I usually observe how the staff team behaves while serving other tables! In this experience, while observing, they provided water for the dog on the terrace and were friendly to refill a wine glass 🍷 that the gentleman accidentally dropped.
The small details that make the difference!

Can't tell enough good things about the place. The staff was wonderful, very helpful and understanding. The food was amazing. We had one salad, one pasta, pizza, wine and beer and they were all delicious. The vibe of the place is also very good. Recommending it with both my hands held high up :)

Great restaurant with friendly service. They have indoor and outdoor tables with a varied menu.
We sat outside and enjoyed watching people walk by. The hostess is very nice and upbeat!

Ari, our waitress, was super welcoming and attentive! We sat on the terrace which was such a lovely and relaxing atmosphere. We had the burrata salad and burger both of which were delicious! Highly recommend this place and would come back in a heartbeat!

We had a lavish dinner (ate a lot, otherwise it would've been much cheaper), ordered a jar of Sangria (red wine) and desserts.
All in all, a great experience and we want to return again :D

We had such a fun dining experience at Gloria Bendita! My husband and I enjoy speaking in Spanish, but we are limited, at times. The staff were so encouraging and even offered for us to choose which language we wanted to communicate in, instead of only switching to English. They would repeat things we weren’t sure of in English, but continued to help us enhance our Spanish communication. We felt so welcome and cared for. The food and beverages were delightful, as well! The restaurant was also quite attractive. Our overall experience was a delight!

Everything was excellent. Highly recommend when in Spain. We will definitively return in future visits.

A cosy restaurant off the beaten track. The food was superb food. The staff was very friendly. We had Dishes that melted on the tongue. Definitely recommending this restaurant.

Lovely little restaurant slightly off the beaten track on a quiet side street. We had ham & delicious warm bread for starters, then followed with rib eye and octopus for main.

The octopus was the standout by far, perfectly cooked with a delicious sauce roasted pepper sauce. Would definitely recommend.

The server was really friendly, patient & helpful - overall a great meal in Madrid

I can tell only good things about this place!!! The waitress was very nice and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious. We had ceasar salad, calamari and octopus for sharing. All of them was really tasty and good portion for a proper meal (not tapas portion!) so if you are really hungry this place is the right one to go to. With coffees and 1 liter jar of vine based freshment, we spent approx 68EUR in total. Highly recommended!!!!

I had the octopus and I can honestly say, it was the best ever. The octopus was prepared excellently, but the sauce with it was the hero. OMG the sauce. Service was outstanding with a recommendation for wine pairing and special attention. Definitely go!

Delicious food, fair prices, we’ll come back❤

Great spot near the royal palace, plaza mayor and opera. The atmosphere is very well prepared to start living the experience since you enter the restaurant (deco is nice mixing up several styles, music is cool and ambient is quiet, allowing you to talk at your normal tone), the staff is beyond kind and the food is simply amazing, top quality and big portions.
Waiting time is reasonable considering everything is prepared on demand and one opportunity for improvement would be to serve all the dishes at the same time rather than having some people watching while the others eat.

Very good tapas and service with a smile. Ari was an excellent and adorable waitress and we would come back.

Great little tapas bar with friendly service - the croquets and Iberian pork cheeks were amazing. Our server Javier was attentive and very helpful to point us to the best of the menu.

The best food in Madrid! Literally amazing! It’s a must! The personnel the most friendly we’ve met! Thanks a lot!

Really fantastic staff and lovely food with a couple of free shots to finish up. Definitely recommend it and the kids (13,10&6) loved the burgers and chicken strips.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, so friendly service! Never disappoints! Thank you!

Food and service are amazing
Steak, grilled octopus and patatas bravas my favorite

Not far from the Royal Palace or the Mercado San Miguel, so if in the area do stop over.
