About
Descubridores de este pequeño pueblo abandonado de la sierra de Madrid, Manolo y Mari, después de viajar por todo el mundo, dedicados a la danza y habiendo obtenido el reconocimiento de los críticos internacionales, deciden retirarse a Patones de Arriba. Desde 1970 Manolo y Mari llevan transmitiendo su cariño y vivencias a quienes se acercan al “Rey de Patones”, a través de las elocuentes historias de Manolo y de la cocina de Mari, cuya peculiaridad se debe a la larga herencia familiar y a las influencias gastronómicas adquiridas en los diferentes rincones del mundo, donde han estado a lo largo de su vida. Esta combinación ha dado vida a un restaurante único y peculiar de cocina sencilla, rica y llena de connotaciones, donde se recuperan los platos típicos de la zona, como el cabrito lechal, las migas y las fabes, que se mezclan con platos innovadores realizados cada fin de semana aprovechando los productos de temporada y la gran imaginación de Emily.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

For the price (+50% over Patones average) I was expecting more. Beef was ok, but I can get better these days at supermarkets. The Chuleton came with far too much fat, about half of the portion. Morcilla ok, but the one sold by Mercadona at €1.5 each beats the €15 dish anytime. It would be better to serve it without the casing. Terraza is beautiful and service is efficient and very friendly.

Careful treatment by your room staff. Special thanks to Miss EMILY for her deferential and very delicate personalized treatment, taking care of all the details in the order as well as sending us to the Table some exquisite homemade Croquettes, tasty and perfectly made that they forgot to ask the customers for. El Rey de Patones will continue to be in the Top 1 over 11 other places with its three Patonil stars. The Lamb, freshly roasted, never to order Stop asking. Surely right. His fantastic cook. That poetry to his Founder, Emily's Father, says how good he was as a great entrepreneur. EMILY you are in my memory and my ❤️ for your appreciation and attention to this admirer of yours and his equally satisfied companions. Please always continue like this. Your Predecessors will be completely proud, just like this humble client, of You.

According to my experience in restoration. If I had to describe the restaurant I would say: Beautiful views, well-made food and careful attention. The terrace is spectacular. Restaurant located in an exceptional location, very pleasant terrace and incredible views. Emphasize the elaborate dishes, very well presented, served at temperature, top quality raw materials. It has been a long time since I visited a place that left such a good impression on me. We loved everything. Wonderful service. Thanks to Nalleny for her willingness, kindness, at all times and for explaining everything to us so well. And also thank his super friendly colleague. A ten for the cuisine that is prepared with great quality. (I insist that it is of very good quality) We will return for sure.

I do not recommend at all. The pathetic quality-price ratio. From the moment they take the order until the first dish arrives, half an hour passes and the same goes by between dishes. The food was cold, unacceptable for pochas that were supposed to be with duck and this one did not appear anywhere.

The place, the whole town is fantastic to visit. You have to do it. However the restaurant was rated to be the second best in the town. However, we experienced stressed waiters on the borderline to impolite. We felt we had to order quick, eat quick and go. The food was ok and the price ok but very small portions. Next time we visit the city we will pick one of the other restaurants.

We can say that the food was of quality and the place was very nice. On the negative side, we can highlight that the quality-price ratio is terrible and the service is almost non-existent. The latter made us feel abandoned in a corner of the restaurant. The invoice price is double its value. We do not recommend this establishment.

The place is cozy, however, the service was very slow. Between one dish and another, we waited ONE hour and because we got angry. If they do not have the capacity to serve so many visitors, it is preferable that they receive fewer and serve them well. The prices seemed high compared to the food.

It is located in a beautiful place, a charming place without a doubt. The food is good, without fancy. I was there on a daily day and I noticed some slowness in the service, I don't know what can happen on a weekend. However, I consider that you can always have imperfect days and I give you the benefit of the doubt. I would like to return. You have to stay with the positive and that terrace is wonderful.

The terrace has beautiful views and it was also sunny and it was luxurious! The food was very good, the quantities were not excessive but it was good. The service today has honestly been quite slow, but it was made up for by how comfortable we were. Good price quality, maybe a little expensive... but hey, it's not bad.

Everything is great, as always, without a doubt Emily and her team do it very well. Alba was looking out for us as were her colleagues and also with the rest of the tables. There were new dishes and they were good, although the usual ones couldn't be missing: supreme, crepes, grandma's dessert...... Visiting the King of Patones with friends we know that it will be a sure success. Thank you for the evening and the attention, if we are careless we will continue there....😘

This place plays on its view. It’s a great view, no doubt. However the local is average, the service is inattentive and slow, and glasses and cutlery were repeatedly dirty. The food was OK to good. However, beware that the starter portions are very big, but big doesn’t make it good. The starters are all sharing plates, but I saw lots of people ordering their own and being unable to finish it. My advice, go for the view and order less than you normally would. PS: The town has NO PARKING. None. At all. You need to park on the road up. On a nice day it’s impossible. Apparently there is a lift and you can park at the bottom of the town. I haven’t tried this but maybe look into it.

The food (lechal) was mouth-watering, the view (breathtaking), the service (SO hospitable) and the price was so reasonable. Patones is small but unique. DO NOT try to come here on the weekends...no place to park and the road is narrow...no idea how they accommodate more than ten cars at a time! But El Rey is the BEST.
