No matter how long you live in Madrid as a foreigner, as we have for more than six years, you can never underestimate the region's potential to deliver another new and extraordinary eating experience, driven by the modern Spanish passion for food. Valhalla may be in the less touristy part of Escorial, ie the town without the prefix San Lorenzo, but it's well worthwhile the short detour or taxi ride for the 11 or 13 course lunch, or 7 course dinner (these are only the owner's recommendations, you can of course go smaller at lunch or larger at dinner). Ingredients are often local - some of ours had been picked on the river bank that morning - and whipped up into textures and flavours that leave you surprised and chuckling when you are told afterwards what they are, and excited about the next one. Each course comes with its own drink, from the Leon-brewed white or IPA beer, to the fabulous Puerta de Sol white and Maria Dulce light dessert wine. We dined in the evening on the 7 courses - they can come quite fast one after another be so prepared to set your own piece rather than be forced into going at theirs - which proved quite enough to delight the tongue without overfacing the stomach. Among our favourites were the bloody mary cocktail with foamed celery on top, the potato-based churros with a creamy soup of vegetables and almonds, steak tartare with truffle, and what I can only call the smoke surprise - when you take the lid off a great cloud of wood-flavoured smoke?/steam? envelopes you. And the bill? Eyewateringly modest - surely the market could bear more in order to ensure this young restaurant's future. It absolutely deserves to succeed.Gracias

Decided to try the Alacena after reading some very positive reviews on TA and it did live up to expectations. The restaurant is very nicely decorated. The 3-course menu for â¬16 was made available to us on a Saturday night at 9pm. Food was creative and delicious, service friendly (which in my books is always a big brownie point in a touristy area where we clearly aren't locals). I am SO going back this summer.

Vesta Taberna is a restaurant where you will find signature cuisine, very pampered and tasty with the best selection of local products, traditional and avant-garde recipes. Our Menu usually changes almost daily. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming.

Great Spanish typical food on a great location. Highly recommended after visiting San Lorenzo de El Escorial. The staff is super friendly and the food generous, mixing "neo-bistrot" and "castizo" styles. Try local artisanal beers and bio wines as well, you won't be disappointed!

Our last dinner in Spain before departure for home. They say save the best for last - this was by far one of the best seafood weâve been fortunate to enjoy while traveling in Spain. The restaurant was bustling with activity but our servers still made all of us feel VIP. They explained the menu items with such enthusiasm that you salivate listening. We savored every bite and licked our fingers for good measure. If you love seafood, this is another one of the âmust visitâ. About an hour away from Madrid but the beautiful drive and the dinning experience is worth the travel away from the city crowd.

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.

Flavours, smells, tastes... Everything on this place is perfect, the owner is a lovely waiter that explains everything with such love for his job that makes you taste it and feel it much earlier than the hamburger is infront of you. Must go, in El Escorial

The position is lovely up in the mountains with very nice views. The food looked nice although we just had coffee. The problem was the man who served us. Not one smile, the coffee badly served. Its a shame when so many people are unemployed in spain that someone like that is employed. A real shame to have such surly and unhelpful service.Dear costumer:Thank you for your visit.You tell us that the food is good with a real good views.Thank you.If the unic problem you had was with the coffee because the waiter didn´t smile or the coffe was badly served i'm so sorry, but what about the other employers, and the other waiters? The real shame is not to be objective, don´t you? Please read the other opinions... is the opposite you explain.Asador Alto del León
