Casa María - Cava Alta

Excellent dishes, we tried both meat and fish, exquisite. The service made the experience perfect, a big thank you to Carlos who was really nice with us!

Hake in shrimp sauce was delicious and seafood risotto slightly disappointed me but it was still good! Staff members were extremely friendly to tourists like us and we managed to get by with English just fine!

A great find near our apartment here in Madrid - off the tourist trap, genuine local cuisine. A brilliant value set menu and the staff couldn’t do enough - service was excellent! Highly recommend!

I've had lunch twice here and both times were great. Food was really good and service was also great. Feels familiar and you can enjoy local food in a relaxed ambience out of the main touristic routes. Totally recommended!

Very good restaurant, the food was delicious. Very friendly staff, we were served by Carlos and he was very kind and generous. I will certainly return.

Would strongly recommend this restaurant - great atmosphere on the corner of the Plaza Mayor and staff very friendly and attentive. Food good and very reasonable in such a popular area. We were so impressed with this restaurant that we returned to eat several times. Welcomed back as old friends! Thank you very much for making our trip to Madrid so good!

we had such an amazing time here I had to review. everything was perfect...service absolutely outstanding (Euclid was so attentive and helpful and spoke perfect English) dinner cooked to perfection, and you can't beat the outdoor seating in the plaza. did not feel touristy at all and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. glad we stumbled on this spot after searching Google reviews but finding our original spot closed.

This place is just super delicious! MUST TRY WHILE IM MADRID! The price is also super good! They are super friendly and were happy to accommodate all our special requests. Oh, and almost forgot: THE BEST SANGRIA EVER!!!!

Lovely food very well cooked and very tasty. Outside of the tourist area which was nice. all staff were very helpful and quick service. The menu was only in Spanish so Google translate came in useful.

Outstanding little restaurant accidentally discovered while in the Plaza Mayor. Superb attentive service, always with a smile, but it was the quality of the food that really shone. I had a delicious sefardic chicken stew full of wonderful flavours, whilst my partner had an oxtail stew cooked in a Pedro Jiminez sauce - truly divine - Mike was in raptures! The BEST discovery in Madrid, and that's after having been to the Mercardo Madrid San Miguel, which I didn't expect to be bettered. Well done!

Awesome place. Stopped by accidently and we are happy we did. Great food, large portions, friendly staff. Very quiet place too. We will be back when we are in the area again.

Fantastic food, great service, good price for the menu de dia. Especially like the buffet soups since we could see the soups before ladling them into our bowls.

Great food; extraordinarily cheap. Definitely recommend if you are in Madrid. The staff were very friendly and the service was super fast.

Fantastic food at a very reasonable price. Best croquetas and bacalao in Madrid!

Affordable snacks and good drinks in Plaza Mayor. The service was fast which let us go enjoy the rest of the night.

Great food, very big portions, Evelid was very helpful and kind. Will reccomend 100%

Very good food. Very friendly staff. Fantastic wine.

It's like they're actually trying to serve you rather than extorting you money. I'll definitely be back!

Really good place to enjoy some tapas and nice beer.

Friendly server, great squid sandwich!!
