Restaurant very well located with both indoors and outdoors Seating area.
Food was incredible, mostly seafood which was very fresh however a decent selection of other dishes are available. Tried both the rice and hake which were extremely nice and tender and perfectly cooked.. Very good value for money considering the quality of the dishes and the great service.
Service was very attentive and quick and were extremely friendly.
Will definitely be back.
2. La Maquina de La Moraleja

On the recommendation of local colleagues we came to this restaurant for dinner on a Wednesday evening. Needing an early dinner before a flight home, many restaurants don't open until 8, and this looked like a good option.
On arrival we had work very hard to persuade the staff to let us sit outside. It was 6pm and all the tables were laid out. It shouldn't have been that difficult! Particularly as it was a fine evening.
My grilled squid starter was delicious. The gamon was poor quality compared to other places, particularly for the price. My beef entrecôte main was tough. The Ribera for EUR60 was excellent (as it should be for that money).
I wouldn't recommend this place, but perhaps if arriving a little later and sticking to seafood it would be a better experience.

Not in a particularly flashy area but once inside this is actually a very pleasant, traditional Spanish restaurant serving (usually!) excellent food.
Whilst we were staying locally for a few days we ate here twice. The first time was superb & we would have given the restaurant 5* for both service & the quality of the food.
Unfortunately having gone back a 2nd time with an even larger party neither the food or service was quite as good! No idea why as they seemed to have the same staff, maybe they were just having an off day!
The highlight (at least from our first dinner there) was the wonderful Chuleton de Buoy from Avilla (?) I think which is a quite delicious large steak equivalent to a French Chateubriand but from a more tasty beast! However the 2nd time we went & ordered the same thing (albeit for more people) it was nowhere near as good! Not sure why but the waiter told us it was simply from a different part of the animal?
However overall we wouldn't hesitate to go back again as the whole menu was excellent & the ambiance also very good.
4. Asador Castilla

Asador Castilla is like experiencing an hidden treasure ... for best of Asador amid excellent ambiance
If you see Asador Castilla from outside, it seems like small joint of something... but when you enter, you start to realise.. it's a wow place
Very classy interior, traditional yet modern, overall extremely impressive ambition
Perfect place for a long lunch with some real good drinks
Another peculiar aspect is .. they don't charge drink on peg... rather on coke or soda... they simply keep the full bottle at your table... make your own peg as you like... they charge as per number of times you ask for coke or side or tonic water bottle
Excellent in service as well ...Very friendly and polite and polished
Place is little expensive though.. but one will not mind spending some hard earned on some real good time and experiencing good Asador

I went here with a local work colleague as I wanted a steak.
Thoughout the two hours we were there no one else arrived.....more a sign of the recession rather than a poor restaurent.
Service was very attentive and the steak arrived cooked as we wanted part well done and part under.
Tasted great and can't fault anything.
Just try on a Friday or at lunchtime.

Very convenient for a business lunch. Larger tapas style selections which you share. We had some local sausages, a gazpacho style soup (slightly thicker), a very tasty octopus, grilled vegetables and finally a steak with French fries. It was all well presented, very well cooked and with fast service. The restaurant was very popular with locals.

Es un sitio que lleva a gran nivel desde hace años.
Cualquier cosa que pidas esta súper buena y con cantidad.
La decoración del bar es particular, es diferente y la verdad que mola estar entre sus pintorescas paredes.
La única pega por poner una son los baños que como alguien deje la puerta abierta tienes sesión de olor gratis.

Place is simple and nothing special. It looks very clean and staff very familiar and very nice.
9. Restaurante Hipodromo London Pub
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 435 reviews
Reviewed By Dave H - Madrid, Spain
As the Restaurante Hipodromo London is, according to tripadvisor, the second best eaterie in Sanse, where we live, and having been to many of the other places, we gave it a try. As a Brit the name isn't so attractive, but once inside the atmosphere was excellent- very livley, full of families, and definately part of Spanish culture. The decor alone has a "British" theme to it, and it leads to a nice, different dining experience. There is plenty of fine beer or other things to enjoy as an aperitivo beforehand: theplace would be great just as a pub! The service was terrific- very cheerful, enthusiastic and good fun despite the large number of clients they were looking after. The menú is really interesting with a number of fusion choices: the vegetable tempura with house salsa brava, for example, was splendid. The terrina de confit de pato, too, was excellent! The prices were most reasonable and we will be back! But we'll book first!
Not a place for a quiet meal, but a great restuarant all the same! Give it a go!
