Reseñas de Café Del Principe

Miguel H was our camerero for ther evening He is great, he loved what he does... making the guest feel special. After a long day we were about to get some dinner. Being from SoCal 8:00 is a late well at least for me. We saw this restaurant because ther Paella on the board. We have to have a Paella. We went in and we lead to the dining area upstairs as all the patrons were enjoying their beers and cocktails. We realized that it's not dinner time in Madrid until after nine o'clock beacause were ther only customers. Miguel welcomed us and gave us a couple glasses of house wine. We ordered the Paella and the complete spanish style stew. The paella came with chicken and mussels. It was a bit salty but it was very delicious. Ther style was 1st served with broth fron thr stew with some pasta. The main course carne with a chicken leg, sausage, stewed pork, and black pudding vegetable. I wasn't disappointed as i devoured everything. We were given an alcoholic smoothie. We were stuff and Miguel came back with a bottle of fruit liquor. Miguel was very attentive and spoke english better than I can speak spanish. He even gave us tipd of places to visit. I highly recommend this place... what a perfect way top cap ther might.

Great tradicional Spanish place! We went in on a Sunday at around 3pm. They had a menú del día which is rare for the weekends! What I ordered: as a starter I got the potatoes with salmon and sour cream. I didn't know how this combination would go together, but it was delicious! As my main I got the fish of the day. I'm not sure what kind of fish it was, but it was a whole fish. It was prepared well and was a good portion. For dessert I got the fruit of the day which was a slice of fresh pineapple. The meal also came with a choice of water, coffee, or soda. The dessert came with a small glass of piña colada which was a nice touch. The service was nice! I would definitely recommend the menu del día to anyone looking for good food and nice portions!

I was walking through puerta del sol and came across this cafe in the corner. I sat down at a table outside and selected a few tapas from the menu with a glass of red wine. there were nearly 20 options and all tapas were about 3-5 euros each. I chose the tomato stuffed with tuna mousse in gazpacho, duck in port wine sauce, octopus carpaccio, and calamari with jalapeño verde salsa. plus two glasses of wine and all for 24 euros total! my favorite was the octopus, sliced very thin and drizzled in olive oil and savory caper olive sauce. I also loved the gazpacho soup itself but the tuna was in a very heavy cream so I could only have a few bites. the duck was a little over cooked and under seated but paired very well with the sauce, the jalapeño verde salsa was sweet and spicy, like a chutney.

We came to this cafe with a hope of having some good Spanish wine. It turned out that you are able to have only one red wine and one white wine by glasses even though they had at least twenty wines on the menu. The white wine was okey considering the price (2,50 euros per glass). The cocktail (Whiskey Sour) was good, but perhaps a bit pricey (7,90 euros) considering the local price level. The complimentary chips were tasty.

After many failed attempts to find a tapas bar, we stumbled upon Cafe del Principe. Food, beverages & a table on the circle; we'll take it! Our server showed up quickly & we ordered our drinks while we perused the menu. I decided on the jamon croquettes & my husband ordered the plata del dia. My dish was meant to be an appetizer & definitely would have been better if I would have shared it. The ham flavor just became so strong towards the end that I was overwhelmed. My husband had a large bowl of soup and a mixed meat plate. He was quite satisfied with his order and sees why all the tourist books recommend ordering the 'plate of the day' for lunch when traveling abroad. It was a lot of food for small amount of money so he DEFINITELY got his money's worth. The people watching for this corner bistro was fabulous. It was on the corner of two streets that approached a major traffic circle. So between the cars, the cabbies & the pedestrians, we had plenty to entertain us.

Desayunamos un feriado y todo muy rico. Los camareros peruanos nos atendieron de maravilla a pesar del gran flujo de gente. Sentarse en la terraza en medio de madrid y disfrutar de un desayuno así, es muy placentero. Lo que cambiaria es el formato de como sirven el té, ya que las teteritas calientes son imposibles de agarrar y servirse el te uno mismo. Sin duda volveré. Muchas gracias por el servicio.

Restaurante típico acogedor. Disponían tanto de carta como de menú por 15'99. Nosotros nos decantamos por el menú. De primero elegimos ensaladilla rusa y unas patatas con huevo y jamón, luego un tipo rodaballo con ensalada y ternera con patatas fritas. Y de postre, una tarta de queso. Todo muy bueno!
