In one word excellent. From the outside it will not impress but once inside the small restaurant youâre in for a wonderful meal. From the homemade bread to each of the dishes. Although the wines go well with the dishes I wasnât impressed by some of the white wines. Maybe itâs better to ask for a recommendation of one bottle if experiments with wine are not your thing. The restaurant is small and the service prompt, friendly and to the point. We started our dinner late but it didnât stop them from letting us enjoy without hurry. Well worth the trip from Madrid especially if you can stay overnight and enjoy the beauty of El Escorial.

There are pluses and minuses about this place. I think there are too many tables in a too small space so we were sitting uncomfortably close to a bar and the toilet. Food was generally OK but the "medium" prepared steak that I ordered was very close to very rare. But the meat was of very good quality so it was tollerable. The wine that we had was very good for a quite low price. Prices in general were OK, certainly lower then in Madrid from where we came to see this town. It was OK lunch for us...
