So many beautiful tiny little plates (I think 17) - all impatiently delivered by a waitress in a hurry. Even to the point of hovering. Rush rush - not a pleasant dining experience. You can even eat the Allard business card. All a little bit too "clever" - but certainly expensively interesting and artistic.

I must say I have mixed feelings about El Club Allard. My wife enjoyed it thoroughly, and I did mostly, but presentation is much more memorable than actual cuisine here, and the pretense is sometimes simply a bit much. The first course was mackerel marinated in tiger milk, more impressive in labeling than in taste (can anyone actually discern the... More

We had the tasting menu Seduction, three appetizers, three entrees, two main courses, two desserts, coffee & petit fours. This, plus wine pairings at five glasses of wine and brandy landed only at 292 euros. We were served extremely innovative, imaginative and at the same time delicate dishes. The most imaginative creations we've ever eaten in a restaurant. It was... More

I love this kind of places, it doesn't even look like a restaurant but some kind of an old and chic building with a huge first floor flat transformed into a restaurant. Very simple decoration, all white and grey, with nice music in the background. On the food front, it is a typical modern fusion place - you just choose... More

Just go there! Its perfect. Service is unbelievable. Can you imagine? Waiter served special food for my pregnant wife, when needed.

If you enjoy modern, fusion cuisine, then this restaurant is a must. Exceptional service by Zulema, Javier and Benito. Taste sensations by chef Diego. All dishes are a delight to all of your senses. Exceptional wine list with reasonable prices. My wife and I enjoyed every moment of our 12 course dining extravaganza, from the edible business card to the... More

Some fine dining places are only about the food--the atmosphere is bare (so you do not look anywhere else but at the food), the floors are concrete (your feet need to concentrate on the food), and there is no music (in case hearing something pleasant will cause some synesthesic reaction, where your taste buds dull and become stupid). But not... More

Excellent and I think we did not expect this level of creativity and playfulness. A surprise menu and delicious too. Not overdone and does not seem like it is just a copy of the usual practitioners of these tricks. There is some genuine brilliance in the marriage of the ingredients and thus the chef pulls it all off very well.

It was our first day in Madrid, even better to say first evening becase we drove from Barcelona this day. And it was a birthday of my wife. I booked the restaurant based on mixed feedbacks from viamichelin and tripadvisor. And it was a 100% right to do! This is not just a resturant this is a Thearter! Show started... More
