Fodor's Review:

The faithful continue to fill this traditional shrine to fine dining, once considered Madrid's best restaurant and still worth seeking out. Wild boar, venison, hare, partridge, wild duck, as well as unique hamburgers (ostrich and turkey, monkfish, and swordfish) are standard fare. Fish and meat Stroganoff, pork chops with sauerkraut, and baumkuchen (a chocolate-covered fruit-and-cake dessert) reflect the restaurant's Germanic roots. The dining room is decorated with brocade and antique Austrian porcelain; an ample selection of French and German wines round out the menu.

  • Keep in mind: Jacket and tie. Reservations essential.
  • Credit Cards: AE, DC, MC, V
